scarcely so long), nearly of the same green, only slightly deeper or more blnish. 



Foretoing with costal edge narrowly oc.hreons, slightly dark-dotted ; anteniedian 

 line white, obsolete in anterior half, forming a white spot on M at one-third the 

 wing-length, fine and excurved between M and SM', thick and slightly obliijne out- 

 ward from SM- to hiiidmargiu scarcely before middle ; postniedian broken into 

 ill-defined wLite vein-dots, that on R' 5 mm. from termen, that on M- 3 mm. or less 

 from termen, that at SM^ close to tornns, prolonged to hindmargin ; a fine red-brown 

 terminal line, scarcely interrupted at the veins ; fringe ochreous-whitish, with 

 brown spots opposite the veins. Ilindiciiig withont first line. 



Underside whitish green, palest at hindmargin of forewing and on hind wing ; 

 costal and distal margins and fringes as above. 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 ft., October— November, 1910 (J, type), 

 September — November, 1911 (?, paratype). Both in coll. Rothschild. 



Large and deeply coloured for the gcnns. 



17. Metallochlora (?) grisea sp. nov. 



?, 23 mm. Face red. Palpus red above, whitish beneath. Crown olivaceous, 

 narrowly whitish between antennae. Antennal shaft whitish proximally, red 

 distally. Thorax and 1st segment of abdomen dorsally olivaceous; 2nd and 3rd 

 segments of abdomen dorsally orange, with a few reddish dots on sides, the 3rd 

 segment also marked with red beside the base of the crest, posterior segments light 

 greyish olive ; 2nd and 4th segments with strong but not metallic crests, slightly 

 paler than the surfaces on which they stand. Foreleg red ou upper and inner 

 sides. (Other legs lost.) 



Forewing grey, at base tinged with green, costal edge orange ochreous dotted 

 with black ; no difl:erentiated discal spot ; both lines white, mostly broken up into 

 vein-dots, the postmedian continuous from before M- to hindmargin ; accompanied 

 on their aj)proximated sides by narrow olive-green shades ; antemedian line irregular, 

 best marked in posterior part, bending outwards on fold and inwards on SM-, the 

 green band which accompanies it reaching the discocellulars ; postmedian from 

 three-fonrths costa, somewhat incurved between the radials and between M- and 

 SM-, then excurved, reaching liindmargia close to tornus ; termen with white dots at 

 the vein-ends, the posterior two or three elongate ; fringe grey, narrowly olive-green 



at base. Ilindwiiig shaped as in typical Ilemitliea : coloured like forewing, except 



the costa ; inner margin narrowly green for some distance from base ; antemedian 

 line replaced by an elongate green cell-mark, postmedian corresponding to that of 

 forewing. 



Under-surface dirty white, forewing slightly tinged with ochreous in cell and 

 costal region, costal edge deeper ochreous, dotted with black. 



Congella, Durban, September 4, 1905 (G. F. Leigh). Type in coll. 

 Rothschild. 



In the absence of the hindleg the exact position is conjectural, but it is 

 apparently very close to M. glacialis Btlr., from Madagascar ; abdomen and crests 

 quite differently colonred, postmedian line of forewing running nearer tornus, tail of 

 hindwing stronger. 



IS. Neromia impostura sp. nov. 



cJ, 27 mm. Curiously similar to Lophostola utriclisca Warr., the antenna and 

 some other points of structure enhancing the similarity, yet the frenulum, venation
