thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint short, tolerably 
pointed. Maxillary palpi moderate, ascending, filiform. Forewings 
2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 4 and 5 stalked, 8 and 9 stalked, 
10 approximated. Hindwings cell 3 , 2 from near angle, 3 closely 
approximated to 5 at base, 4 and 5 long-stalked, 6 and 7 short- 
stalked, 8 closely approximated to 7 towards base for some distance. 
Perhaps nearest Microthrioc. 
Philotroctis eutraphera, n. sp. 
$ . 21-22 mm. Head, palpi, thorax fuscous. Forewings very 
elongate-triangular, costa posteriorly gently arched ; dark fuscous 
with faint purplish tinge, sometimes more or less irregularly 
irrorated whitish on costal half: in three specimens first line 
perceptible as a faint oblique slightly curved streak from costa 
about |, in darker forms wholly obsolete ; second line indicated 
by a slightly waved somewhat irregular line of grey-whitish 
irroration from costa near apex to dorsum before tornus, preceded 
on costa by slight darker suffusion: cilia fuscous. Hindwings 
subhyaline grey-whitish, iridescent in cell; terminal edge dark grey ; 
cilia grey-whitish, a grey subbasal line.

Forewings 2 from angle, 4 and 5 connate, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 
approximated. Hindwings cell -|, 2 from very near angle, 3 closely

Belgian Congo, Katanga, April, May (C. Seyclel ); 2 ex. (type 
Belg. Cong. Mus.). This resembles closely in superficial characters 
a frequent type in the Rhinaphe group, to which however there is 
no direct relationship.
