Segments 8 and 9 more heavily chitinised, the 10th less than the preceding ones. No trace of a cremaster appai-atus. Surface of body finely granulate. Thorax and 1 st abdominal segment with a dorsal ridge, increasing in height posteriorly on each segment, and at the hinder margin meeting a trans- verse ridge, which runs along the posterior edge of the segments. These segments are more coarsely rugose than the .obdominal segments. Ventral surface of head and thorax much folded and wrinkled so that parts could not be made out. There seemed to be no trace of leg-cases. The female moth upon emergence pushes the head part off, while the pro- and mesothorax split along the median dorsal line. Abd. segments 2 to 7 finely transversely striated dorsally, especially the 2nd. Eighth segment with two lateral, con- spicuous prominences on which the spiracles are situated. 6. Manatha subhyalina [Janse). Psyche (Manatha) subhyaliua/(/Hse. Ann. Natal Mus., 1917, vol. hi, pt. 3, p. 601. This species was described by Janse from three specimens (type and two co-types) captured at Umkomaas, Natal, January 4th to 24th, 1914. Through the courtesy of Mr. Janse I was supplied with a specimen of a bag, collected by Mr. Robinson at Grahamstown, and said to be that of this species. The bag contained a dead larva from which the accompanying- drawings and descriptions have been made (text-tig. 16, d). In February, 1918, the writer obtained a couple of bags, very similar in appearance to the one from Graha
