Distinguished from the type species ramiculata Warr. by the much less pro- 

 duced apex and more rounded hindmargin of wings ; the antennae are broken, but 

 the basal joint appears much swolleu ; at base of forewings beneath are two tufts 

 of white scales.

3. Gathynia auratiplaga sp. nov. 



Foreivings : ashy grey, dusted with darker, and with very indistinct dark lines ; 

 the costa darker grey ; faint traces of darker lines at one-quarter aud one-half ; a 

 crenulated line at two-thirds is more distinct, and another, indistinctly double, 

 beyond it ; a fine black, reddish-tinged submarginal line from just before apex along 

 hindmargin ; all these lines are iuterrnpted in the middle of the wing along a 

 wedge-shaped area from near base to hindmargin, extending there from vein 3 to 5 ; 

 fringe concolorous, with two darker lines. 



Hindwinffs : with the inner marginal area as far as the submedian fold, as 

 well as a similar wedge-shaped space to that of the forewings, pale and devoid of 

 markings ; in the grey area between are three black lines, one antemedian, short, 

 a postmedian, longer, and a very fine submarginal one ; the costal area grey, with 

 darker grey freckling ; beneath the pale hairs of the inner marginal fold can be seen 

 a tnft of reddish hairs before the anal angle ; beyond the cell the upper pale space 

 bears a patch of pale gilded ochreous scales. 



Underside of forewings cinereous, of hindwings much paler, with tlie costal 

 shoulder, the apex and a tuft at anal angle speckled with black. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen dull grey ; palpi darker. 



Expanse of wings : 23 mm. 



One cJ from Fort Johnston, Nyassaland, February and March 1896 (Dr. P.

4. Chlorodrepana angustimargo sp. nov. 



Forewings : deep green ; a costal stripe and a somewhat broader marginal 

 border bone-colonr speckled with grey ; the latter with some green patches at 

 apex and middle, and separated from the green ground-colour by a blackish line ; 

 a row of large black triangular marks along hindmargin between the veins ; fringe 

 bone-colonr. 



lUiulwings : similar, but the mottling of the ma,rginal border is denser and 

 darker: the costal area broadly dull red. 



Underside dull rosy, becoming dull fuscous in the forewings before the fuscous 

 dividing line ; this is thicker in both wings than above, and composed of luuules ; 

 the marginal triangles are also swollen into a thick lunulate line ; the marginal 

 border dull white, nnspeckled, with the veins across it ditt'nsely fuscous. Face
