colonr, thickly speckled with grey and olive-green ; the crests dull olive ; lateral 

 lines reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One ? from Sierra Leone. 



Chloroteras gen. nov. 



Closely allied to the Indian genus Chlorostrota Warr. 



Foretcings : with costa straight, slightly curved at base and apex ; apex 

 minutely pointed ; hindmargin crenulate, strongly angled at vein 4. 



Hind wings : truncate at apex, but with the anal angle strongly expressed ; 

 hindmargin crenulate, nearly straight from anal angle to vein 4, and strongly 

 excised between 4 and 6, the teeth at 4 and 6 very prominent. Antennae bipectinate 

 in the ? ; palpi very short. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing ; discooellnlar strongly 

 inaugnlated ; first median nervule at five-eighths, second and third stalked ; lower 

 radial from above centre of discocellnlar, upper from top angle of cell ; veins 10, 7, 

 8, 9 stalked, 1 1 free. Hindwings with 3, 4, and 6, 7 stalked. 



Type : Chloroteras detoliita Wlk. (Comibaena). 



In nenration it agrees with Archichlora Warr., also an African genus, but the 

 shape of wings is entirely different. 



5. Victoria ansorgei sp. nov. 



Forewinqs : yellowish green; costa bone-coloured, broadly pale at base, more 

 narrowly towards apex, speckled with red-brown atoms, which are denser before 

 apex ; basal line ill-defined, except below median vein, where it is angled on the 

 fold and curved to inner margin ; cell-spot oval, with dark scales at centre ; outer 

 line represented by a crescentic mark from vein 4 to 6, bone-colonred with brown 

 edges, ending on inner margin in a large irregular loaf-shaped blotch edged with 

 brown-red, which reaches only to vein 2 ; a large bone-colonred apical blotch 

 extending from apex to vein 4, its edge brown-red and thrice curved ; interspaces 

 on margin between veins 4 and 1, with bone-coloured brown-edged lunules, the lowest 

 • double and larger ; marginal line brown-red, not thickened ; fringe bone-colour, 

 chequered finely with brown-red beyond veins above middle, more broadly below 

 middle, their apices throughout darker. 



Ilindivings : with cell-spot oval, browu-red ; outer line shown by a crescent- 

 shaped mark towards inner margin, as well as beyond cell : a semicircular bone- 

 coloured marginal blotch between veins 4 and 6 ; inner margin with a long narrow 

 bone-coloured blotch edged with reddish ; the rest as in forewings. 



Underside whitish green ; the marginal line red-brown. Face, shoulders, and 

 patagia green ; shoulders edged in front with reddish : vertex and autenual shaft 

 bone-colonred ; abdomen bone-coloured, mixed above with reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 42 mm. 



One ? from Nakabimba, Torn, April 2ud, 1899 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Closely related to V. pulreriplnga Warr. from Warri (described wrongly as an 

 Oospila), from which it is distinguished by the more restricted whitish markings 

 and the unthickened marginal line. The hindmargin of forewings is sinuous, not 

 elbowed at vein 4,
