SuBFAMiLV TEPHROCLYSTIINAE. 



47. Cliloroclystis oblongipennis sp. nov. 



Forewingfi : deep green, the markings purplish fusc-ous (several of the inter- 

 spaces are flesh-coloured ochreous, but these are probably faded) ; the dark edge of 

 basal iiatch angled on median vein, then oblique inwards, the patch dark at base 

 and crossed hy two dark Hues ; central fascia with inner edge parallel to edge of 

 basal patch, its outer angled at, veins (i and 4, then obliquely curved inwards; the 

 green of the central fascia and basal patch is mixed with puri]lish scales in cell and 

 on submedian fold; a pale green band with a central line precedes and follows the 

 central fascia; submarginal line obscurely paler, preceded and followed by purplish 

 patches at costa, beyond cell, and on submedian fold ; marginal line blackish ; fringe 

 dark green, mottled with purple. 



Himhvioir/s : with costal area paler; the lines purplish; the two antemedian 

 short and indistinct; the postmedian and submarginal strongly curved and thick; 

 discoeellular marked as an oblique blackish line; fringe as in forewings. 



I'nderside of forewings greenish grey with a lilac sheen, of hindwings greenish 

 white; all the markings distinct and thick, especially the outer line, greenish fu.scous; 

 fringes chequered with shining white. Head, thorax, and abdomen, greenish, tinged 

 with purple. 



Expanse of wings : 25 mm. 



One c?, one ?, from the Escarpment, British East Africa, the c? dated October — 

 November 1900, the ?, much worn, March 1901 (Doherty). 



The <S may be distinguished at once by the peculiar shape of the hindwing. 

 The inner margin is short, from anal angle to vein 3 the hindmargin is absolutely 

 parallel to costal margin, and between the rounded bends at veins 3 and 7 the 

 margin is nearly straight. The shape is similar in the ?, but is not so noticeable 

 owing to the greater length of inner margin and the proportionately greater breadth 

 of wings. Unfortunately neither example is perfect. 



48. Chloroclystis protrusata sp. nov. 



Fm'enmigs : dull grass-green, the lines and markings blackish green ; basal patch 

 small, indistinct, edged and crossed by blackish lines; central fascia with inner edge

 vinous and black beyond the cell ; marginal area green, paler between 3 and 4 ; 

 marginal line thick, black; fringe greenish fuscous, chequered with pale dashes 

 beyond veins. 



HindiL'im/s: similar, the band beyond central fascia much narrower.
