Rhombochlora geu. nov. 



Distinguished from Racheoloplin Warr. by the shape of the hiiulwings : these, 

 instead of being broad, with the enter margin well rounded, are diamond-shajjed, 

 the outer margin being strongly angnlate at vein 4, which ends in a broad blunt 

 tooth ; the forewing has the outer margin bent at vein 4, the lower half more 

 obliijne. 



Type : Rhombochlora granulata spec. nov. 



The type species bears a strong superficial resemblance to Drueia semispurcata 

 Warr. from French Guiana.

Forewing : dull green, covered with rather coarse rusty brown granulated 

 specks, more sparsely before and beyond the centre (where they are slightly 

 confluent), snggesting an antemedian and postmedian band, and thickest along 

 outer margin, which is narrowly brown from vein 4 to anal angle ; costal edge 

 white ; cell-spot largo, black ; fringe white, with a brown-black line at base, 

 and chequered with brown beyond veins. 



Ilindwing : with basal third nuspecklcd green, the outer third very densely 

 speckled ; marginal shade irregularly brown throughout ; cell-spot black ; fringe 

 as in forewing. 



Underside uniform whitish green. 



Face and palpi pale brown ; vertex and antennae white ; patagia green, 

 their edges and the thorax pale brown ; dorsum green ; the crests metallic red 

 tufted with green. 



E.Npanse of wings: 40 mm.

S5. Tachyphyle flaccida spec. nov. 



Foreicing : pale dull green, somewhat transparent ; basal two-fifths suffused, 

 except on inner margin, with grey-brown, and along the costa irrorated with white 

 scales ; first line thick, brown, from two-fifths of costa to one-third of inner 

 margin, bluntly angled outwards on median vein and inwards on the two folds, 

 with an inward edging of white scales, and followed in cell by a diffuse brown 

 cell-mark ; outer line starting from a broad brown costal streak at two-thirds, 

 oblique outwards to vein 6, there angled, and oblique inwards, parallel to outer 

 margin, to three-fourths of inner margin, slightly darker than the ground-colour, 

 and lunulate-dentate, the teeth marked by rust-coloured dots on veins ; between 

 the lines a few rusty brown dots on the veins, partly forming a median line 

 parallel to outer line ; costa brown before apex ; fringe pale green. 



Ilindwing : pale green, whitish along costa ; a rust-brown spot at base, a 

 straight antemedian line of the same colour, followed by a brown cell-spot and 

 some obscure striae ; outer line at three-fourths, very obscure, darker green and 

 dentate ; fringe pale green. 



Underside pale mealy green, with the brown markings slightly showing 

 through. 



Palpi, frons, vertex, and base of antennae brown ; shoulders, patagia, thorax, 

 and abdomen green ; the patagia on outer sides and the dorsum brown-tinged.
