18. Omphacodes (?) anomala sp. nov. 



Fnveivi'iigs : blue -green ; cell-spot deeper green ; fringe grev. 



Ilindwinrjs: whitish, tinged with green ; fringe whitish. 



Underside like upper. Face, palpi, and forelegs dull reddish ; thorax ami i)atagia 

 green ; abdomen whitish green. 



Kxi>anse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from the Escarpment, British East Africa, January 1901 (Doherty). 



This species differs from typical Omphacodes in having the costal and subcostal 

 of hindwings touching one another merely near base, not anastomosing; the antennae 

 are long and very slender; but in shape and colour of wings it agrees, though more 

 delicate in structuie; veins 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are stalked, and 11 anastomoses with 12. 



Paragathia gen. nov. 



Su[ierticially, both in shape and markings, like Aijathia, from which it is at 

 once distinguished by the pectinated antennae of the cJ ; herein it agrees with 

 Af/athiopsis Warr., but is separated from both by the neuration. 



Foreivings: cell not quite half as long as wing; discocellular running at first 

 obliquely inwards in two sliglit curves, the junction of the curves forming a slight 

 outward angle, the lower half oblique outwards ; first median nervule at two-thirds, 

 second at five-sixths, not from the end of cell ; lower radial fiom up^jer angle of 

 discocellular, up]ier from upper angle of cell; 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 11 from close before 

 them, anastomosing distinctly with 12. 



Hmdimngs: with costal approximated to subcostal for half of cell; veins 7 and 

 3 both well before the angles of cell. 



Hindtiliiae with four short spurs; aiipaicnlly wiliioul tuft of hair or piuces.s at 

 the end; palpi weak, jiorrect, terminal joint in <S invisible. 



Type: Paragathia alhiriiar<jin.ata sp. nov. 



19. Paragathia albimarginata sp. nov. 



Fureunngs : bright green; costal area and transvcr.se markings ])urplish grey; 

 basal i)atch narrow, dark purple, its outer edge straight, from costa to inner margin; 

 a median band from costa about middle to inner margin slightly beyond middle, 

 conca\-e outwards and with a slight protuberance outwards at middle ; this purple-grey 

 band is edged \evy finely outwards with white and more broadly basewards, this 

 inward white edging being itself edged with a fine red line; an outer band from costa 

 at tlu-ee-fourths joining the marginal band below vein 4, the inner edge of the 

 outer band regularly concave basewards to anal angle; all three bands of equal 

 thickness, except just below the junction of outer and marginal; the outer band and 

 the marginal band along the triangular apical green area both edged distinctly with 

 white ; fringe white and grey ; the green space between middle and outer bands oval, 

 the bands united at anal angle by a narrow grey line. 



Hindwings : costal area broadly' white; a broadisli, purplish grev, nearly straight 

 baud from apex to anal angle, its inner edge twice curved from \ein 4 to 2, cutting 

 off an elongated green patch along margin from alsove 6 to below vein 4, and 

 continued along inner margin to one-third from base, where it ends in a point, 

 internally edged with white throughout; the small tooth at vein 4 filled with 

 chocolate brown ; a fine dark marginal line; fringe white from apex to tooth, grey 

 below; fringe of inner margin white.
