$ . 11 mm. Head, thorax grey suffusedly mixed whitish and 
tinged rosy-pink. Forewings broad-lanceolate, acute; dark grey, 
more or less mixed rosy-pink suffusion ; cloudy whitish lines apparent

Uganda, Ruwenzori, 13,900 feet, July, August (1 $ on crest of 
Busu-wa-meso, at 14,200 feet (Z. Burgeon ); 9 ex. (7 6 , 2 $ ). 
The abbreviated wings of the female are obviously incapable of 
flight, but except for this character, doubtless an adaptation to the 
exposed conditions of the great altitude, the species is a true 
Bcojxiria, surpassing in elevation any of the genus yet known.

grey scales; lines pale bluish-grey, slender, ill-defined, first at 1,

DR0SQPH ANTIS, n. g. 
Head smooth, rounded; ocelli posterior; tongue well-developed. 
Antennae <3 annulate, shortly ciliated. Labial palpi moderate, 
curved, ascending, second joint swollen with scales, smooth, ter¬ 
minal joint rather long, cylindrical, pointed. Maxillary palpi short, 
filiform, porrect. Hind tibiae smooth ; all spurs long, nearly equal. 
Forewings 2 from towards angle, 3 and 4 approximated at base, 
5-7 straight, nearly parallel, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 and 11 approxi¬ 
mated from near angle. Hindwings 1, termen sinuate beneath 
obtuse apex, without cubital pecten ; 2 from |, 3 and 4 connate 
from angle, 5 from cell above angle, 7 out of 6 near base, coincident

A curious form of doubtful affinity.
