Strepsiclilora gen. now 



Forewing : costa curved throughout ; outer margin straight, nearly vertical. 



Hindwing : with anal angle produced; outer margin bent at vein 4, more 

 strongly in ? . 



Antennae of <S bi pectinate, the apex simple; palpi slender, porrect ; terminal 

 segment longer in ?; tongue present ; frenulum slight; hindlegs of S with tiliiae 

 three times the length of tarsi, thickened with a sheath, with four short spurs. 



Neuration : as in Thalassodes. 



Type : Strepsichlora acutilunata spec. nov. 



The species described as R/wmborista inquinata in Nov. Zoo!, x. p. 303 (1903) 

 should be referred here, though it differs from the type in being more thickly 

 scaled, in the pectinated portion of the antennae of c? being shorter and the hind- 

 tibia less swollen.

3. Forewing: grass-green, towards costa with irregular brown dusting; lines 

 very deeply lunulate-dentate ; first whitish, edged with brown scales on each side, 

 forming two elongated lnnules above and two below median, and half a lunule below 

 vein I, the lunule above vein 1 generally obsolete, the black dots marking the 

 inward teeth on costal and submedian veins displaced far basewards ; outer line 

 still more deeply lunulate-dentate, the outward teeth purplish preceded by white 

 dashes, the purple inward lnnules much nearer base and often interrupted, the 

 lines connecting them deep green ; cell-spot purplish ; fringe green. 



Hindwing : with the lines both present but very indistinct ; cell-spot small. 



Underside shining whitish green ; costal third of forewing deep sea-green, 

 the costal edge fuscous. 



Face, vertex, thorax, and dorsum green ; palpi purple above, ochreous below ; 

 fillet narrowly purplish ; a purple spot on metathorax, and a row of white spots

? yellow-green ; costal edge iu middle white, with clear brown striations ; the 

 lnnules edged with darker brown, the two above median in inner line projected 

 so as nearly to touch the cell-spot, which is large, red-brown, preceded by a white 

 spot, the upper lunule with a brown spot on costa above it ; the double lunule 

 of the outer line in submedian interval is similarly intensified and inwardly marked 

 by a white spot ; fringes pinkish, with slight dark spots beyond the veins ; 

 antennae speckled brown and whitish ; palpi whiter. 



Expanse of wings : $, 35 mm. ; ? , 40 mm.

Forewing: pale green, with an olive-green straight line from middle of inner 

 margin towards apex, before which it is recurved to costa ; on the basal side of
