Hindwing : smooth, lilac grey, tiuged with pluui-coloui' ; a dark bracket- 

 shaped basal line ; outer line angled ou vein 4, sinuous on each side, ferruginous, 

 edged on both sides with pale, from middle to inner margin edged inwardl}- by 

 a broad dark brown streak ; discal mark long and curved, like the upper part of 

 outer line, ferruginous with pale edges ; a ferruginous line along cell above vein 4, 

 and an angulated ferrnginous mark below the cell-spot ; the angle of outer line 

 with some grey and ochreous scales ; dark brown marginal lunules from upper tail 

 to vein 2, with three slight pale dashes. 



Underside lilac-grey, with dark speckling. 



Face and palpi black ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen grey. 



Expanse of wings : 18 mm. 



1 c?, 1 +, from Mombasa (Doherty). 



Forewing excised from apex to vein 4 ; hindwing toothed at veins 4 and 7 ; 

 antennae of c? with close clavate-serrate teeth, of ? lamellate. 



Family GEOMETRIDAE. 

 Subfamily GEOMETRINAE. 

 5. Agathia pauper spec. nov. 



Forewing : apple-green ; costa broadly greyish brown ; a dark brown basal 

 patch ; a narrow red-brown band from the costal streak just before the middle, 

 kneed outwards on vein 4, then concave outwards to inner margin, nearly touching 

 the outer band ; this runs obliquely outwards from four-fifths of costa to a brown 

 blotch at middle of hindmargin, then curves away sinuous to just before anal 

 angle, leaving a small elongated greenish patch between it and the bi'owa hind- 

 margin ; both this and the median baud are traversed by a pale Hue along their 

 centre. 



Hindwing : with no median band ; the outer band as in forewing, but bent 

 above middle, and below middle coalescing with the marginal band to anal angle, 

 and running narrowly half-way up the abdominal margin. 



Underside whitish green, with the outer baud showing through. 



Face, fillet, and antennae ochreous ; vertex marked with brown ; shoulders, 

 patagia, thorax, and basal segments of abdomen green ; rest of abdomen ochreous, 

 with a reddish tinge. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



1 (S from Warri, November 1899 (Dr. Ansorge). 



The usual tail at vein 4 of hindwing is reduced to a mere blunt tooth. 



0. Agraptochlora pallida spec. nov. 



Forewing : pule whitish green, powdered with darker green, with very faint 

 indications of two darker lines, the first from one-fourth of costa carved to one-third 

 of inner margin, the outer from four-filths of costa to three-fourtlis of inuer 

 margin, the intermediate space being slightly darker, with a deep green cell-spot. 



Hindwing : like forewing, but the darker green powdering more evident. 



Underside similar. 



Face grey -brown ; vertex and antennae white ; thorax and abdomen pale green. 



ExjJanse of wings : 30 mm.
