57. Racheospila pulchrifimbria spec, do v. 



Forewing : uniform green ; costal edge white, diffusely underlined with deep 

 reddish and before apex crossed by three or four red spurs from the red streak, 

 which itself on each side of the middle is interrupted by white spots; a marginal 

 row of semi-elliptical snow-white spots between the veins, edged inwardly by a 

 deep red dentate-lunulate line, before which the green is stained with vinous ; each 

 marginal spot is followed by a corresponding white spot in the fringe, the rest of 

 which is vinous ; the spots above the middle are rounder than those below. 

 •- Hindwing : with the marginal spots all rounder. 



Underside pale green, with the marginal markings and fringe all dull. 



Palpi white with a few reddish scales externally ; face olive-green, with a red 

 line above; fillet and antennae snow-white, the back of vertex scarlet; thorax, 

 shoulders, and patagia green ; dorsum deep red, each segment but the second with 

 a large snow-white spot, that on basal segment small ; anal tuft white ; abdomen 

 at sides and beneath white, like the legs. 



Expanse of wings : 17 mm. 



1 S from Aroewarwa Creek, Maroewyn Valley, Surinam, April 1905 (Klages). 



I have seen specimens of this species from various localities before ; hitherto 

 it has, I thiuk, been passed over as a form of sigillaria Guen., but both that species 

 aud sitellaria Gn. have only three white dorsal sjjots. 



58. Racheospila semiornata ah. brunneilinea nov. 



Differs from the type-form of semiornata Warr. in that both lines of the 

 forewing are marked by brown spots on the veins, partially connected, and ending 

 on inner margin in brown blotches reaching to subniedian fold, the outer line not 

 connected with the blotch at anal angle, which is smaller thau in the type-form. 



In the hindwing these two brown extremities of the lines are united along the 

 inner margin and form a shallow blotch.

 season (Ockendeu). 



50. Rhodochlora unicolor spec. nov. 



Forewing : apple-green ; costa fiuely white, red at the extreme base : inner 

 line marked by a red dot on the median and submedian veins and on subniedian 

 fold ; these iu the ¥ are connected by a waved red line ; cell-spot red ; outer line 

 lumilate-deutate, red, parallel to outer margin, not reaching above vein 0, and 

 marked mainly by the red teeth on the veins ; this line plainer in the ? , where the 

 luuule between veins 1 and 2 is thick and filled up with yellow scales edged 

 with red ; fringe pale green, with a red spot at apex. 



Ilindwing : with the usual yellow basal area green like the rest of wing ; the 

 purple subbasal band pear-shaped, broader below, aud edged with yellowish, 

 reaching from middle of cell to vein 1, aud larger in ? ; outer line marked by 

 red teeth on veins ; fringe pale green. 



Underside whitish green, especially in hindwiugs; cell-spot of forewing 

 reddish ; a faint green ceutral baud on hindwing; costa of forewing red at base.
