(lusted with brown and witli lateral green marks on basal segments ; in S dark 

 green flecked with silvery white. 



Expanse of wings : c? 31 mm. ; ? 33 mm. 



Nine cJt?, five ? ?, from Milne Baj', British Kew Gninea, November 1898 — 

 February 1899 (Meek). 



Chloromachia gen. nov. 



Forewim/s : with costa convex at base and before apex ; hindmargin bluntly 

 bent in middle. 



Himlwings : with hindmargin dentate at middle, crenulate on each side. 

 Palpi with second joint rough-scaled, third naked, moderate, longer in ? than 

 iu S ; antennae of S with fascicles of cilia ; hind-tibiae of c? dilated, with a fold 

 containing tuft and with two pairs of spurs ; tongue and frenulum present. 



Nenrrition : first subcostal of forewings free ; the other four-stalked ; last two 

 medians from lower end of cell ; hindwings with the two snbcostals and last 

 two medians stalked. 



Type : C. divapala Wlk. {Comibaena). 



Distinguished from Clilnrosfrofri Warr., by the i antennae. 



40. Chloromachia(?) pallidata sp. nov. 



Foretvings : whitish, varied with very pale bluish green ; the costa broadly 

 ochreons striated with brownish ; basal edge brown : first line near base, oblique 

 outward to subcostal, then vertical ; outer line from three-fourths of costa to middle 

 of inner margin, irregularly crenulate ; submarginal line outcnrved from costa 

 to vein T, then straight to anal angle ; all three lines white : marginal area washed 

 with white, with a row of rather large dark green spots between the veins ; 

 fringe white. 



Ilimltniigs : with a broad white antemedian band, within which the basal area 

 is green, containing a white discal spot, and becoming white itself at base; marginal 

 area white, narrowed to a point at apex and anal angle, witli the marginal spots 

 as in forewings. 



Underside white ; costal area ochreous-brown ; subcostal area greenish ; a green 

 blotch on disocellnlar, partly showing through on upperside ; marginal spots fuscous. 

 Palpi varied with fuscous and green ; face dark green, white below ; vertex and 

 antennal shaft white ; thorax and abdomen green and white. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One S from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, January 1899 (Meek). 



The specimen is somewhat worn, and the description is unavoidably deficient 

 in exactness. It differs from typical Chloromachia in having the hindmargin of 

 forewings nearly straight, and in respect of the palpi and hind-tibiae it is nearer 

 Chlorostrofa Warr., which, however, has the antennae of i pectinated. 



41. Episothalma subaurata sp. nov. 



Forewings : like E. ohscurnta Warr., but yellower green ; the outer line followed 

 by a thick blackish green shade above inner margin. 



Hindwings : with the blackish shade broader and extending from costa to innei' 

 margin ; the outer line preceded also })y a narrower black shade. 



Underside of both wings golden yellow, with a broad velvety black submarginal
