Forewing green, apparently nearly as in Xenochlorodes beryllaria 

 Mann (a little faded) ; a single white line, interrupted between the 

 veins and apparently not reaching costal margin, at R 1 scarcely 2 mm. 

 distant from termen, more oblique than termen and very gently 

 curving, reaching hindmargiu just over 3 mm. from toruus ; dots on 

 veins, very slightly darker than ground-colour, accompanying this line 

 proximally. Hindwing white, with faint tinge of green. Forewing 

 beneath paler green, posteriorly whitish, base of costa reddish ; hind- 

 wing beneath as above. 



Cape, Kalk Bay, April, 1904 (E. M. Lightfoot). 



A very worn $, Clauwilliain, October, 1901 (Mrs. Marchant), 

 seems also to belong here, rather smaller, slightly narrower, C of hind- 

 wing anastomosing still more shortly than in $ .

 Collar ochreous brown. Thorax and abdomen dirty white ; fore and 

 middle legs more mixed with brownish. 



Forewing not very broad, costa somewhat shouldered at base, apex 

 pronounced, termen oblique, nearly straight, at tornus curved ; white, 

 in places (especially in median area) with coarse but rather sparse 

 fuscous dusting ; lines brown, irrorated with fuscous ; autemedian fine, 

 from before one-third costa, very acutely angulated outward in cell, 

 then very oblique inward to one-fourth hindmargin, sometimes 

 slightly sinuous ; median thicker, from costa much beyond middle, 

 slightly out-bent subcostally, then almost straight to hindmargin 

 slightly beyond middle ; postmedian from costa rather near apex, on 

 the veins dentate outward and marked with fuscous dots, between 

 R 1 and R 3 incurved, behind M 2 more feebly incurved ; a pure white 

 line distally to this ; subterminal line quite near termen, white, 

 almost straight, bounded proximally and distally by a narrow brown- 

 grey shade ; terminal interneural dots strong, slightly elongate. 

 Hindwing with costal margin long, apex rounded ; SC' J and R 1 connate;
