Hedylepta epicapna, n, sp 
«$ 2 . 32-37 mm. Head, thorax grey, head 6 with very large 
expansible tufts of curved hairscales from behind antennae, tegulae 
cJ forming erectile scale-tufts. Palpi dark grey. Pore wings 
rather elongate-triangular, costa posteriorly moderately arched, 
termen rounded, oblique; smoky-grey, rather lighter along costa 
from first line to beyond second ; lines dark fuscous, first beforo 
slightly excurved, somewhat oblique, second from costa at direct 
and faintly sinuate to below 3, thence very widely broken inwards 
to beneath discal mark and again direct to dorsum ; spots blackish, 
orbicular small, discal transverse-linear, slightly lunulate ; a fine 
dark terminal line : cilia grey, a darker subbasal shade. Hind- 
wings rather dark grey ; a small blackish discal mark; second line 
as in forewings, but less strongly marked ; terminal line and cilia 
as in fore wings.

Luebo, April, May (J. Cohn) ; 3 ex. (type Belg. Cong. Mus.), 
BAR ABA, Walk. 
Face rounded; tongue developed. Antennae |. Labial palpi 
long, obliquely ascending, basal joint with projecting tuft of scales, 
second joint thickened with dense scales roughly projecting beneath, 
terminal joint nearly as lorg as second, slender, tolerably obtuse- 
pointed. Maxillary palpi short, ascending, filiform. Forewings 2 
from i, 3-5 approximated basally, 7 nearly straight, 8 and 9 stalked, 
10 closely approximated. Hindwings without cubital peefen ; 
2 from 3-5 approximated basally, 7 out of 6, anastomosing with 8 
to f. 
Type Jai sails Walk, ( — idmoneedis Walk.). This genus was 
merged by Hatnpson in Sc-eliodes, which the structure of head and 
palpi will by no means permit; I therefore give the true characters. 
Phostria melanophthalma, n. sp. 
2 . 40 mm. Head, thorax whitish-ochreous. Palpi light 
ochreous-yellow. Forewings somewhat elong ite-triangular, costa 
gently arched, termen rather obliquely rounded ; violet-whitish ; 
costal edge grey towards base ; a small black discal spot before 
middle: cilia white. Hindwings violet-whitish; a small blackish 
discal spot: a transverse dark grey apical spot; cilia white. 
Belgian Congo, Stanleyville ( Lt . J. Ghesqni&se ); 1 ex. (Belg. Cong.

Ilampson as Phryg anode s Gn. (type tedcci Cr.)» 
Conogethes sisyroptila, n. sp.
