of dark scales, followoil below vein 4 by a Ueil of shiiiiiijj; scales mixed with dark 

 ones ; a slight dark dot below lower tooth ; marginal line brown.

 wings black-dotted. 



Face, paljii, and forelegs blackish ; vertex, antemiae, thorax, and abdomen

1 c? from Moyamba, S. Leone, May 1903 (Cator). 



Wiiigs siiort and broad ; costa and ajiex of forewing rounded ; onter margin 

 curved ; hindwing with two minute teeth ; costa of hindwing ami inner margin of 

 forewing nearly straight; antennae with short clavate teeth. 



Subfamily PSEUDOTERPNINAE. 

 Nothoterpna gen. nov. 



ForewiiKj : triangular; costa straight; ai)ex and anal angle rounded; outer 

 margin slightly curved. 



Hindwing: ample ; both angles rounded ; onler margin almost im])erceptibly 

 bent at vein 4. 



Antennae bijiectinate to apex; the pectinations stilf and thickened to their 

 tips, ciliated ; the shaft lamellate, semi-opaque between the joints ; forehead 

 somewhat prominent ; paljii qnite short, as in Ayiaptochlora ; tongue present ; 

 frenulum wanting ; legs short and thick ; the femora hairy ; hindtibiae with two 

 pairs of ajiproximate sj)urs. 



Nenr.ation : forewing, cell not half as long as wing; discocellular incurved 

 above, oblique below ; vein "i at two-thirds, 3 at eight-ninths ; vein 5 close 

 below 0, which rises from the depressed end of subcostal ; 7, 8, !), lU stalked 

 from the bond in subcostal ; 11 free, anastomosing with 12, lU anastomosing with 

 11; hindwing, costal and subcostal approximating in basal half of cell; 6, 7 

 stalked ; medians as in forewing ; radial from near toj) end of discocellular. 



Ty])e : Nothoti'rjma crassi squama spec. nov. 



The genus agrees witli Agraptochlora Warr. in the shortness of the palpi 

 and in the structure of the antennae, but the shape and coloration of wings are 

 quite different. From the comparatively large size of the hindwings and thickness 

 of scaling I am inclined to refer it to the neighbourhood oi Pseudotfrjina. 



3. Nothoterpna crassisquama spec. nov. 



Forciviiiij : very pale yellowish green; the scales thick and somewhat 

 roughened ; a dark green cell-spot ; a dark green outer line, interrupted by 

 the veins, from costa shortly before apex to one-third of inner margin ; fringe 

 concolorous. 



Ilirulwimj : whitish with a faint green tinge, which is stronger along outer 

 margin ; cell-spot dark green ; sometimes there are traces of an outer line 

 corresponding to that of forewing. 



Underside mealy whitish green, with traces of the two lines and cell-spots. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen pale green ; vertex and antennal shaft whitish. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm.
