316 KOVITATES ZOOI.OQICAE XXII, 1!)15. 



12. Prasinocyma oculata sp. nov. 



{?, 38 mm. Face greeu. Palpus with tliird joiut long; reddish brown above, 

 white beneath. Vertex green. Antennal shaft white proximally (one-third or 

 less), reddish distally ; {)ectinations of moderate length. Thorax and abdomen 

 blue-green dorsall)', white ventrallj' and anally ; foreleg red above and on inner 

 side ; middle and hindlegs largely duller and paler reddish ; hindtibia dilated, 

 witb short terminal process and ratiier strong white hair-pencil. 



Fovewing of moderate width, apex less acute than in pupillata ^V'arr., not 

 at all produced ; termen oblique, slightly curved ; SC free, R' just stalked, II' 

 about connate ; light blue-green, not very opaquely scaled, covered with fine 

 white irroration and strigulation ; costal edge very narrowly ochreous , discal sjiot 

 rather large, red, very finely and somewhat incompletely white-ringed and in its 

 centre overlaid with black ; fringe concolorous, only with feeble suggestions of 



paler spots. Hindwlng with termen rather strongly bent at R^ faintly waved 



in posterior half ; DC- as oblique as in Thalassodes, DO' less so, M' well stalked ; 

 coloured and marked like forewing. 



Under-surface paler, the costal margin of forewing rather brighter, more 

 reddish ochreous ; discal marks faintly showing through. 



Daro Forest, Toro, Uganda, 4000— 4500 ft., October 20, 1011 (S. A. Neave). 

 Type in coll. Brit. Mns. A ? from Kumasi, W. Africa (J. D. G. i^aunder.s), al.s<i in 

 coll. Brit. ]\Ius., is possibly referable here, agreeing except in having the face 

 reddish, mixed with green, the wings broader, with rather more rounded termen, 

 the white strigulation less developed, a small white spot on middle of hiudmargin 

 of forewing. The third joint of the palpus — as would be expected in the ¥ of this 

 species — is extremely long. 



Very like pupillata Warr., from British East Africa, bnt differing in much 

 longer palpus, less acute apex, mach blner-green colour, and absence of a white line 

 in fringe. 



13. Prasinocyma centralis sp. nov. 



?, 31-34 mm. Still closer to pupillata Warr., agreeing in the abbreviated 

 third joint of palpus, bnt showing sufficient differences to prevent its being treated 

 as a subspecies. Face dull red, very narrowly white below. 



Forewing with costa somewhat more arched, apex less acute, termen much 

 more curved ; slightly bluer green (though much less so than in oculata), the dark 

 distal edging of the white hindmarginal spot better developed ; fringe green, only 



slightly paler distally. ■Ilindwing with apex more rounded, termen less straight 



anteriorly and posteriorly to the bend at R' ; fringe as on forewing. 



lluwenzori, 6000 ft., Febrnary 24, 1906 (type), January 13, 1900 (paratype) ; 

 Entebbe, Uganda, 1905, 1 ? (E. A. Minchiu) ; all in coll. Brit. Mus. 



14. Prasinocyma niveisticta adornata subsp. nov. 



Differs from name-typical niceisticta Front {Gen. Ins. 129. p. 150) in having 

 both tornal blotches considerably enlarged (about as in Comibaena pustulata Hufn.), 

 and in addition on the hindwing an apical blotch, rather larger than the tornal 

 ones, and a dark discal dot. 



Ashanti (Mrs. D. Hoaston). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Possibly a separate species, as the cells are rather shorter, DO more oblique, 

 R' of forewing stalked, M' of forewing shortly, of hindwing longer stalked.
