204 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptums of 



whitish, somewhat mixed with oehreous, towards base green. 

 Fore wings broad, triangular, hind margin gently rounded ; veins 

 3 and 4 soparatc, 11 anastomosing with 12, free from 10; rather 

 dull green ; costa narrowly white, beneath ochreous-tinged ; lines 

 indistinct, very slender, whitish, denticulate ; first from one-third 

 of costa to middle of inner margin, where it forms a small spot ; 

 second from three-fourths of costa to hind margin above anal 

 angle ; a small dark reddish fuscous discal spot ; a small snow- 

 white semicircular spot on anal angle, bordered with fuscous- 

 crimson ; a small dark reddish fuscous apical spot ; cilia whitish 

 oehreous, with a waved dark fuscous-crimson subbasal line which 

 encloses white dots on veins. Hind wings moderate, hind margin 

 evenly rounded; colour, discal dot, and cilia as in fore wings 

 lines absent. 



Fiji {Mathew, Lucas) ; two specimens. 

 Thalassodes, Gn. 



Face smooth. Palpi moderate, second joint obliquely ascending, 

 with short rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint rather 

 long, cylindrical, obtuse. Antennae in male bipectinated, towards 

 apex simple. Thorax hahy beneath. Fore wings with vein 6 

 rising out of 9, 10 rising out of 9 between 6 and 7, 11 free. Hind 

 wings with veins 3 and 4 stalked, 5 rising nearer to 6 than to 4, 

 6 and 7 stalked, 8 very closely appressed to 7 towards base or 

 approximated. 



21. Thalassodes chloropis, n. s. 

 5 , 36 — 40 mm. Head and antenna? whitish oehreous. Palpi 

 pale green, beneath whitish. Thorax and abdomen light sea- 

 green, abdomen with an obscure whitish dorsal line. Legs whitish 

 oehreous, anterior tibiae reddish. Fore wings broad, triangular, 

 hind margin slightly rounded ; rather light sea-green, with 

 numerous very obscure small irregular green-whitish strigulae ; 

 costal edge very pale whitish oehreous ; a straight slender obscure 

 whitish line from beneath middle of costa to three-fifths of inner 

 margin ; cilia ochreous-whitish. Hind wings broad, hind margin 

 very obtusely angulated in middle ; veins 7 and 8 closely appressed 

 near base ; colour, strigulae, and cilia as in fore wings ; a straight 

 slender obscure whitish line ft-om beyond middle of costa to vein 3 

 midway between its origin and hind margin. 



Appears very closely allied to 7', piUiria, Gn., and the 

 group of similar species, but is probably sufficiently
