The membrane of wings mostly greyish brown, and the colour forming FIG. 7.—Forceps of Centroptiluni bifasciatum. <?. Three imagines and three subimagines found at M'fongosi, Zulu- land, by W. E. Jones. Of the subimagines one male was captured in September, 1911, one female in October, 1911, and one in Decem- ber, 1911. Of the imagines one female was captured in October, 1911, and two males in December, 1911. Although the species does not agree with the other species in the genus in regard to the shape of the hindwing, I place it in the genus Centroptilum. Possibly a new genus ought to be established for the species, but I postpone doing so, because probably more allied species will also be found in South Africa. This species is the first Centroptilum recorded from this part of the world. GEN. CLOEON, Sam. CLOEON AFRICANUM, sp. nov. Imago. 3 .
