Gozmány, L.: The results of the zoological collecting trip to Egypt in 1957, of the Natural History Museum, Budapest. 8. Egyptian Microlepidoptera II.

Ascalenia satellita sp. n. Alar exp.: 9 mm. Head, thorax dark, yet shining greyish brown, palpi whitish inside, more greyish outside, third joint wholly blackish on tip. Basic color of fore wing a dark brownish grey, but tip of single scales white ; pattern consists of a very oblique and rather indistinct white line from base of costa to middle of cell ; a twice broken, angular, white line in 2/3, one blackish dot each at 1/3 in fold and at 2/3 in end of cell, both bordered by white (first terminad, second basad) ; finally a very indistinct whitish line from angle of preterminal line to extreme apex Ciliae dark. Hind wing very light grey, ciliae yellowish grey. The seemingly nearly related A. antiqua Meyr. has opposite costal and tornai spots instead of an angular postmedian line ; while the pattern of Mompha (?Ascalenia) seeboldiella Rag. is ochreous yellow. Holotype female : "idfu, Egypt, 28 Oct. 1957, leg. Dr. Gozmán y". In the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Bedellia somnulentella Z. -— Sids, 15 Oct. Acrocercops imperfecta sp. n. Alar exp.: 10 mm. Head, thorax snow white, antennae light yellowish grey, hardly ringed ; labial palpi large, porrect to slightly ascending, white, upper half of third joint black. Basic color of narrow fore wing white, with rather indistinct marmorate pattern of light yellowish brown color, covering wing in transverse and much broken bands, their edges delimited by black scales ; these eventually accumulating in certain places in middle of wing ; apex with a large black blotch, surrounded by black apical hairs as an eye-spot ; ciliae light yellowish (fig. 4 : B). Hind wing dark grey, ciliae light yellowish. Legs white, with brown spots. Of the very few North African ^crocercops-species described up to now, it is nearest, as far as I could find out, to horrens Meyr., described from Abyssinia. Its labial palpi are differently colored, third joint ornamented by two dark rings ; also the pattern of the fore wing is, though similar, construed otherwise (cf. Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 1932, p. 117). Holotype male : "Sids, Egypt, 14 Oct. 1957, leg. Dr. Gozmán y". In the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Tischeria noviciata sp. n. Alar exp.: 8 mm. Face, labial palpi, basal joint of antennae light yellowish ; third joint of labial jialpi with a black terminal ring ; antennae simple, brown ; vertex, scapulae, thorax dark greyish brown. Basic color of fore wing covered by equally distributed dark brown and yellowish scales, pattern consisting of a short black streak in fold at 1/3, and a dark dot at end of cell ; ciliae light yellowish grey, with some protruding long black scales on termen. Hind wing dark grey, ciliae yellowish. Nearest T. longiciliatella Rbl., but it is monocolorous, either dark brown, or yellowish, and the hairs on its antenna very long (five times the diameter of the shaft). Male genital organ quite conspicuous in the digitate valva, long and simple acdoeagus, and rudimentary uncus 4- tegumen -j- gnathos complex (fig. 4 : C).
