NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. «2tt 



Both wings beneath slightly paler, the posterior half of forewing inclining to 

 whitish. 



Diredaua, N.W. of Harar, 1914 (G. Kristensen). A long series, mostly Sd, 

 in coll. Tring Museum. 



The shade of green — almost identical with that of the forewing of Rhadinom- 

 phax divincta Walk. — distinguishes this species at a glance from its allies. 



3. Pseudheniithea exomila spec. nov. 



(J, 24 mm. Face and palpus red. Vertex narrowly white ; occiput green. 

 Antenna wth minute ciliation, less than half as long as diameter of shaft. 

 Thorax and abdomen greenish above, whitish beneath ; crests scarcely developed. 

 Hindtibia with all spurs. 



Forewing with apex very slightly produced, termen little oblique anteriorly, 

 slightly gibbous in middle, oblique posteriorly ; SC connate or shortly stalked, 

 anastomosing at a point with C ; dull oUve green, slightly irrorated with white ; 

 costal edge narrowlj' ochreous ; a thick lunulate-dentate white postniedian line 

 from near costa at nearly three-fourths, incurved between the radials and be- 

 tween M' and SM', the outward teeth at R' and M' strong ; fringe concolorous. 



• Hindwing with termen gibbous, slightly bent at R', but not at R' ; C closely 



approximated to SC for a short distance beyond the point of anastomosis ; post- 

 median line as on forewing. 



Underside whitish, shaded (especially on the forewing) wth olive, the fore- 

 wing with the costal region and both wings with the fringe deeper olive, the 

 forewing with slight indications of the white postmedian line, proximally to 

 which the olive shading is rather strong. 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, 2,000 ft., September — November 1911 (G. L. 

 Bates). Type in coll. Tring Museum. Paratype (wet season, without date) 

 in coll. Joicey, considerably rubbed, but with the postmedian hne evidently 

 rather less thick. 



Quite aberrant in the presence of the median spurs and in several minor 

 characters, but clearly belonging to the Hemithea group and best referred for 

 the present to Psevdhemithea, on account of the minute palpus. 



SuBFAM. STERRHINAE. 

 4. Somatina probleptica spec. nov. 



<J ?, 30-31 mm. Face black, narrowly white below. Palpus short, white 

 above and on outer side brown with a few black scales. Antenna in <J dentate, 

 with fascicles of longish ciUa, in $ minutely ciliated. Vertex, thorax, and ab- 

 domen white ; abdomen in S rather elongate. Hindtibia in S rather strongly 

 dilated, a strong tuft of pale yellowish hairs from femoro-tibial joint, tarsus 

 abbreviated (its extremity lost). I 



Wings shaped as in figurata Warr. (Nov. Zool. iv. 01). 



Forewing with areole single in both the examples,* SO' arising from ex- 

 tremity of areole (?) or barely stalked (cj) ; white, without the grey irroration 

 of figurata ; lines grey, not very strong ; antemedian almost obsolete, scmewhat 

 curved and sinuous, marked between SM* and hindmargin by two or three black
