Episcardia ehionarga (MEYRICK, 1920) (= Tinea leucomima MEYRICK, 1921, Ann. Transvaal Mus., 8, p. 129), syn. nov. — Two male specimens from 22 and 23 February, Nata (gen. prep. 1288). The genus Cylicobathra MEYRICK, 1920, must be considered as a junior synonym of Episcardia RAGONOT, 1895. The genital structure is in all essentials the same in both taxa. The two slight differences, namely the presence of the eyecap and some deviations in the female genital structure of the former, do not warrant a distinct genus, the more so as there are apparently transitional forms among the numerous Fig. 4. Perissomastix christinae sp. n., holotype, female, laterally, part of ductus and bursa removed, gen. prep. 1975. Fig. 5. Perissomastix christinae sp. n. paratype, male, laterally, valvae opened, gen. prep. 1955. species referable to the latter (e. g. argocoma MEYRICK, 1914). Cylicobathra MEYR., could, at best, be upheld as a subgenus, but the final decision in this regard will turn on the yet hardly known females of the genus in question. Episcardia leucastis (MEYRICK, 1908). — Three male specimens from 23, 26, and 27, February, Nata (gen. prep. 1289, and 1799). Hapsifera ZELLER, 1847 (= Paraptica MEYRICK, 1917, Ann. South Afr.
