Hindtcinqs: with the cell-dot bright red, tiie outer line exenrved in middle : 

 hiudinargin visiblj' elbowed at vein 4. 



Underside uniform pale green. Face and palpi rnfons : vertex, tliorax, and 

 abdomen vivid green ; abdomen with shining brown-red dorsal blotches. 



Expanse of wings : 2n mm. 



One S from Tenimber, July 1S92 (\V. Doherty). 



Ilistingnished from the other species of the genns by the much more developed 

 antennae of the 6. These are subdentate, the teeth with Ion;/ fascicles of cilia. 



ST. Microloxia ruficornis sp. uov. 



Forewings : pale yellowish -. the costu deep ocluvous ; fringe coacolorons. 



Ilhufwifif/s : the same. 



Underside similar. Palpi, antennae, and forelegs reddish ; face yellowish, edged 

 with red ; thorax and abdomen yellowish. 



Expanse of wings : 14 mm. • 



One S from Weenen, Natal, January 1895. Tlie insect is in very good con- 

 dition, and the wings do not seem to be either faded or greased. 



A ? from the same locality, dated December 1893, not in good condition, with, 

 the fringes gone and the wings somewhat greased, must be referred here. This has^ 

 the antennae snbserrate, and expands 19 mm. 



88. Microloxia (?) serraticomis sp. nov. 



Superficially exactly like Nemoria attenuata Wlk., but whereas in that species 

 the antennae of the S are simply pubescent, in this they are subpectinate and 

 pubescent, the pectinations being short, claw-shaped, with a fascicle of cilia at the 

 end ; in this respect the insect agrees neither witli Nemoria nor Microloxia. 

 Walker's two species indecretata from India and latilineata from Australia agree 

 with the present species both in the structure of antennae and in the markings 

 of wings, and it is possible they may be all three identical. 



Several specimens from Natal. 



N. attemmta Wlk. occnrs not only at the Cape, but also in Sierra Leone ; 

 WoUaston's species nubigena from Madeira must be very near it. 



89. Mixochlora alternata sii. nov. 



Forewings: deep green, with four pale hoary green fasciae more or less parallel, 

 the second interrupted above by a deep green discocellular lunule ; the first two dark 

 green fasciae not oblique outwards, as in rittata Butler; costa narrowly yellow : 

 fringe green. 



Hi7idwings ; with the basal area and two fasciae i)alcr. 



Underside pale green, scarcely tinged with yellow. Face and palpi deep velvety 

 green ; vertex and thorax dark green ; abdomen ])ale green, with dark green 

 markings ; base of antennae white. 



Expanse of wings : 45 mm. 



One S from North Luzon, 500U to OUUU feet (Whitehead). 



Distinguished from M. vittata Butler by the absence of yellow below and by 

 the parallel bands above ; nrgentij'usn Wlk. from Sarawak is much more silvery.
