 margin sinuate, hardly o]dir|ne, with a very faint bend at vein 4 ; anal angle 

 rectangular. 



Himlwings : with apex curved, hindmargin nearly straight from vriii d tn anal 

 angle, just bent at vein 4 ; anal angle lobed.

 of face ; tongue and frenulum invisible. 



Kciirution : forewings, cell not half as long as wing; discoci'llular angalatcd,

•">". Chlorodrepana rothi sp. nov. 



Forewings: witli basal two-thirds deep green; costa broadly stone-colour, 

 dusted with black atoms ; marginal third, except an elongated green patch between 

 costal streak and vein 6, stone-colour densely dusted with fuscous scales, and witli 

 a small dark blotch between veins 3 and 4 ; the colours are separated by a pale 

 line from co.sta at two-thirds, oblique outwards to vein 'i, vertically curved to vein 4, 

 then curved inwards to inner margin at two-thirds ; a marginal row of blackish 

 lunules between the veins ; fringe fuscous with a pale base. 



Ilindtvings : with only the basal half green ; costa broadly rosy ; inner margin 

 narrowly rosy with fuscous speckles ; marginal area darker than in forewings, 

 towards costa mixed with rosy, and with an oval black spot on each side of

One ? from Warri, end of April 1897. 



Sent by Dr. Ruth, in whose honour I have named the species. 



ol. Comostolodes subhyalina nom. nov. 



Eucldoris inductaria Ilnipsn., Fauna Brit. Ind., Mothx, 111. p. 499 (^nec Guen.). 



The examples wliich have for some time been standing in the British Museum 

 Collection as inductaria Guen. expand 30 mm.; but (Juenee gives the size of Ids 

 insect, the type of which came from Borneo, as 20 mm. These can hardly be 

 identical. And again, though he acknowledged that his single specimen was in bad 

 condition, Gueuee did not call it semihyaline, but green with a yellow tinge. On 

 the other hand, Ilamjjson's description of his smaragdux, from the Xilgiris, agrees 

 both in size (Is mm.) and colour (yellow-green) almost exactly with Gnenee's own
