without exception deep green ; bnt it agrees with them in the extreme shortness 

 of the palpi and in the structure of the pectinations of the antennae of the c?, 

 which are thickened towards their apices and strongly ciliated. In shape of 

 wings it is much like the following species. The fringes were probably cou- 

 colorous : in tliis genus they are always short, and appear peculiarly apt to be 

 worn away. 



7. Agraptochlora rubriceps sjiec. nov. 



Forewing : deep green ; the costa yellow ; small brown dots at the ends of 

 veins ; a deeper green cell-spot. 



Hindioing : deep green, with similar dots ; fringes grey. 



Underside pale green, the costa of both wings yellowish. 



Face and vertex deep red ; antennae reddish ; thorax green ; abdomen 

 (greased) apparently reddish ; legs dull reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 3U mm. 



1 <S from Bihe, Angola, November 19ul (Pemberton). 



The species is near A. nigricornis Warr. ; the wings are short and broad. 



Chlorochaeta gen. nov. 



Forewing : costa straight, curved towards apes, which is bluntly rounded ; 

 hiadmargin oblique, slightly curved. 



Hi ml wing : with long inner margin, the anal angle rounded, but prominent; 

 hindmargin slightly curved. 



Antennae (t?) with long pectinations ; palpi porrect, second segment roughly 

 and loosely scaled, third short, drooping ; frenulum very slight ; tongue small, 

 ill-developed ; legs stout, roughly scaled ; hindtibia with four stout spurs and 

 a long process ; abdomen with traces of brown and white spots, roughly scaled. 



Neuration : forewing, cell two-fifths of wing, discocellalar oblique below ; 

 first median nervule at three-fourths, second from end of cell with third; lower 

 radial from above centre of discocellular ; njiper stalked with 10, 7, 8, 9 ; 11 free: 

 hindwing, 3, 4 and 6, 7 short stalked. 



Type : Chlorockaeta longipennis spec. nov. 



In the shape of the hindwing this genus approaches the S. American Tachypkyle 

 Butler. 



8. Chlorochaeta longipennis spec. nov. 



Forewing : bright yellow-green ; custa white ; cell-spot and marginal Hue red- 

 browu ; fringe red-browu, mixed with paler scales towards apices. 



Hindwing : with cell-sjjot, marginal Hue, and fringe as in forewing. 



Underside whitish green ; costal lialf of lorewiug tinged with yellowish green ; 

 both wings with brown cell-spot and yellowish green postmedian line ; slight 

 red-brown marginal dashes between veins; fringe white, varied with red-brown. 



Palpi white, dusted with red-brown above ; head, thorax, and abdomen green ; 

 lower part of face, fillet, and tips of shoulders whitish ; dorsum varied with reddish 

 hairs; a red-brown tuft on second segment and a white spot on third and fourth; 

 abdomen below, pectus, and legs white ; tarsi spotted with red-brown ; antennae 

 (broken) white, with red-brown pectinations. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.
