Wingspan 11–13mm. Scaling of labial palp snow white. Externally resembling Neonamasia cryptica sp. n. (see below), but forewing narrower, speculum with fewer white scales and therefore contrasting less strongly with rest of wing. The genitalia of the two species show huge differences. In both sexes they are much more elaborate in N. cryptica sp. n. Remarks. Meyrick (1909) described Eucosma monitrix from Pretoria in SouthAfrica.Unlike most publications by Edward Meyrick, the descriptions in this paper were accompanied by beautiful colour illustrations performed by the collector, A.J.T. Janse. The type specimen, a male, was dissected and the genitalia figured by Razowski & Krüger (2007). The valvae in the male genitalia are strongly three-dimensional. Consequently the genitalia look different according to how they are compressed on the slide (Figures 11, 12).
