134 HETEROCERA. 
Phytomimia may be distinguished from Coptotelia Z., Hyphypena Wrn., and 
Gonionota Z. by the absence of the projecting tuft of scales from the terminal joint of 
the palpi, while Hypercallia Stph. and Pleurota Hb. differ in the lower edge of the 
median joint being roughly clothed throughout. 
1. Phytomimia chlorophylla, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 22.) 
Antennae bright green. Palpi bright green, becoming whitish along their lower edge, which, together with 
the whole terminal joint, is thickly sprinkled with reddish brown scales. Head pale green. Haustellum 
pale green. Thorax bright green. Forewings bright grass-green, the costa narrowly flesh-coloured 
throughout ; a slender, oblique, flesh-coloured line before the termen crosses the veins, but does not 
reach the margins; a single dot of black scales on the disc at the end of the cell; cilia grass-green, with 
slightly darker basal and parting lines. Hwxp. al. 18 mm. Hindwings pearly white; cilia white. 
Abdomen bluish green; anal tuft white. Legs: posterior pair very pale green, the tarsal joints nearly 
white, touched beneath with brownish ochreous ; anterior pair pale green, sometimes with a reddish line 
along the upper side of the tarsi.

2. Phytomimia redundans, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 23.) 
The description of chlorophylla applies in every particular to this species, except that this possesses a 
ferruginous brown ocelloid spot, narrowly rimmed with ochreous, on the dorsum beyond the middle, 
immediately preceding the oblique transverse line; while some few ochreous and brown scales are 
connected with the first discal spot. It is noticeable in the single female specimen before me that vein 2 
of the forewings is a little further removed from 3 than in chlorophylla. I had at first suspected these 
to be sexes of the same species, but without more material, collected in one and the same locality, there 
could be no justification for uniting them. Lap. al. 18 mm. :
