NOVIIATES ZOOLOQIOAE XXII. 1915. S2\ 



from Mt. Elgoii, Uganda, the ? much hirger. //. prouti B.-Baker {Ann. Mag. Nat. 

 Hut. (8) xi. 571) shows similar size-variation, and is not unlike dichorda in shape 

 and markings, but very much paler, the abdominal crests white, rather sliglit, 

 forming au almost continuous ridge, recalling that of some Neromia species, M' 

 stalked, etc. 



23. Heterorachis (?) carpenter! sp. nov. 



?, 20-24 mm. Marvellously like a miniature //. hinatimargo Front, but with 

 third joint of palpus long. 



Foreiviiig ai)jiears slightly narrower, the distal margin curving rather more 

 strongly in middle so as to become more oblique posteriorly. The brown line 

 which proximally bounds the ornate border is on both wings more strongly Granu- 

 late, being curved or almost angled inwards on the veins and outwards between ; 

 the dark terminal spots opi>osite its inward projections are rather more marked (in 

 the Lagos specimen partly black). 



Lutoboka (Fort Stanley), Bngalla Island, 0-25 ft., Sesse Archipelago, Victoria 

 Nyanza, larva, forest edge, spun September 1-1, emerged October 1, 1912 (Dr. 

 D. G. Hale Carpenter), type in coll. Oxford Mns. ; Lagos, July 30, 1906 

 (G. L. Boag), 1 ¥ in coll. Brit. Mus. 



24. Celidomphax prolougata sp. nov. 



cj, 31 mm. Face pale green, a band on upper part, together with vertex and 

 proximal part of antennal shaft, deep maroon brown. Thorax and first abdominal 

 segment green above, the rest of the body ochreons, crests of the second and third 

 segments blackish, that of the fourth less dark, redder. Legs (especially the 

 tibiae) marked with dark red-brown. 



Forewing with costal and distal margins relatively rather long, the latter 

 scarcely convex ; SC free, R' free ; smoothly scaled, bright green, with slight white 

 strigulation ; costal margin ochreons, deeper at extreme edge, basally deep maroon- 

 brown ; a few reddish-fuscous scales near tornus, a slight indication of a small 

 reddish-fuscouB spot near termen between R' and R- ; fringe pale ochreons proxi- 

 mally, more reddish distally, especially opposite the anterior veins, where ill-defined 



reddish sjjots are formed. Hindiuing with termen and inner margin relatively 



long, the former bent at R^ (shape of genus Thalassodes) ; concolorons with fore- 

 wing, except costally ; the reddish-fuscous spot between R' and R- slightly better 

 expressed, the tornal obsolete. 



Underside whitish green. 



Kojokaji, Lado Enclave, June 1912. Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Distinguished from the other species especially by its shape. 



25. Lasiochlora bicolor maculosa subsp. nov. 



Differs from name-typical bicolor Th.-Mieg, from Durban, in having the 

 jiostmedian row of minute dark dots of forewing enlarged into spots on the radial 

 and median veins, those on R' and M' the largest, containing some pale scales ; 

 hiudwing without discal dot. Further distinctions, which perhaps betoken a 

 separate species, are that the row of spots is rather more obliquely placed than the 

 dots of bicolor bicolor, and that R- of both wings is much less approximated at its 

 origin to R', R' of forewing close to SC-~^ 



Nairobi to Mt. Kenya. Type ? in coll. Rothschild.
