A key to the fully grown larvae of 11 species of Phycitinae is given. Of these, the following eight are known in Britain either as stored-products pests or associated with imported food:— Ephestia elutella (Hb.), Anagasta kuehniella (Zell.), Cadra cautella (Wlk.), C. calidella (Gn.), C. figulilella (Gregson), Plodia interpunctella (Hb.), Mussidia nigrivenella Rag. and Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zell.). The key is preceded by a brief account of the economic importance of these species in Britain.The other three species are Ectomyelois decolor (Zell.), E. muriscis (Dyar) and Paramyelois transitella (Wlk.). Although these are native to the Americas and are unknown in Britain, they comprise, together with E. ceratoniae, the economically important species formerly of the genus Myelois Huebner.The larvae of Mussidia nigrivenella, P. transitella and of the three species of Ectomyelois are described.

The cryptic arboreal castianeirine genus Echinax Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 (Araneae: Corinnidae), previously known only from South-East Asia, is recorded from the Afrotropical Region for the first time. The female of Copa longespina Simon, 1909 is redescribed, the male is described for the first time, and the species is transferred to Echinax as E. longespina (Simon, 1909) comb. nov. It occurs widely throughout equatorial Africa, from Kenya and Tanzania in the east to Liberia in the west. Six new species are described from both sexes: E. clara sp. nov. from D.R. Congo and Ghana, E. hesperis sp. nov. from Ivory Coast, E. natalensis sp. nov. and E. similis sp. nov. from South Africa, E. scharffi sp. nov. from Tanzania, and E. spatulata sp. nov., widespread across tropical Africa. The available ecological data indicates that all seven species are mainly arboreal and represent a prominent component of corinnid assemblage collected by canopy fogging, especially in forests.
