Subfamily TRICUOPTERYGINAE. 

 151. Remodesf?) confxisidentata sp. nov. 



Foretoings : dnil grey-greeii, with darker green confusedly dentate vertical 

 lines ; basal patch edged by a dark green line, and containing two or three less plain 

 lines ; inner edge of central fascia formed by a similar dentate line, marked with 

 very dark green on costa, median and snbmedian veins ; the paler green band between 

 the basal patch and central fascia traversed by a fine similarly dentate line : enter 

 band of central fas(^ia consisting of three irregularly dentate dark green lines, the 

 middle of the fascia remaining pale green and containing a small dark green cell- 

 spot ; snbmarginal line dark green, very distinct, irregularly bent and dentate, 

 preceded and followed by a paler green band traversed by a fine green waved line ; 

 a marginal row of deep green lunnlcs between tlie veins, which are pale green ; a 

 row of black marginal spots at ends of veins ; fringe yellowish green, with a yellowish 

 basal line. 



Hindwings : brownish grey. 



Underside reddish grey. Paljii witli the very long second joint straight, pale 

 green, terminal joint black with ochrcous tip ; face and vertex pale green ; thorax 

 darker green ; abdomen cinereous green ; antennae ochreons green at base, becoming 

 black in the outer half. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One ? from Pieter Jilaritzbnrg, Natal. 



The hindmargin of the hindwings is decidedly crenulate. This species some- 

 what resembles Remodes (?) angulosa Warr. from Amboina ; but the dentations of 

 the lines are neither so regular nor so deep, and the lines are nearly vertical 

 tliroughout. The type being a ?, the genus must for the present remain doubtful, 

 like that of angulosa. 



152. Remodes (?) denigrata s}). nov. 



? . Forewings : pale whitish green, the cross lines bright yellowish green ; a 

 green spot on c^osta at base, followed by a broadish diffuse fascia, its inner edge concise 

 and angled on subcostal vein ; separated from central fascia by a broad band of the 

 ground-colour, traversed by two green lines, the first denticulate, the second waved: 

 central fascia composed of first a green shade, broad on costa, narrowing to a point 

 on inner margin, next a narrow almost obsolete band of ground-colour, and last a 

 series of three or four waved lines, wliich at the costa form two green bands : these 

 four lines become purple from vein fi to the snbmedian, the inner shade being purple 

 only below the median ; following the central fascia comes a band of the ground- 

 colour, traversed by a single denticulate green line and two curved green fasciae, the 

 first the broadest, diffusely waved externally, both concisely edged externally ; a 

 row of dark green spots at the ends of the veins ; fringe green, the inner half darker. 



Hindwings : pale grey, with ochreous fringe. 



Underside rufous cinereous ; forewings in cell and along costa dull olive-green. 

 Face, palpi, thorax, and base of abdomen bright green : abdomen grey, tinged with 

 green ; antennae ochreous, becoming dark grey towards tips. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm.
