592 Sir George H. Kenrick on 
Chrysopsyche pratti, n. sp. (Plate XXXI, fig. 14.) 
Head, legs, palpi, thorax greenish-golden; shaft of antennae 
pale; pectinations black; abdomen golden. F.w. greenish-golden 
varying a good deal; faintly indicated darker median and post- 
median lines in some specimens hardly visible; beyond this is 
an irregular band of silvery scales not reaching the costa. H.w. 
similar in colour with a broader, and less well-defined band of 
silvery scales: the base and inner margin clothed with golden hairs. 
Exp. 54 mm. 
Gastropacha malgassica, n. sp. (Plate XXXI, fig. 8.) 
Head, legs, and palpi pinkish-brown; shaft of antennae black, 
pectinations orange. Thorax pinkish-buff, collar rather greyer, 
abdomen chestnut. F.w. bright chestnut, a whitish basal patch 
followed by an angulated antemedian line dark edged internally 
with paler. At the end of the cell is a distinct white figure of 8. 
There is a fine oblique dark line running from apex to middle of 
inner margin slightly angulated at the end, beyond this line the 
wing is broadly iridescent with a purplish gloss, and beyond this 
again, is a line of 5 faint dots, while at the margin the colour is 
again chestnut. H.w. pale chestnut with darker hairs at base and 
inner margin. Fringes edged with white. 
Exp. 66 mm. 
Taragama olivacea, n. sp. (Plate XXXII, fig. 15.) 
Head, legs, and palpi smoky olive; shaft of antennae black, 
pectinations orange; thorax olive-grey. F.w. olive-grey dusted 
with paler shining scales; a faint oblique angulate antemedian line 
darker. An irregular white dot at end of cell; a fine dark oblique 
line extending from costa before apex to middle of inner margin. 
H.w. dark grey with a faintly defined darker transverse line. 
Fringes of h.w. edged with white. Underside uniformly smoky 
with transverse shade. Some specimens are of a browner tint. 
Exp. 46 mm. 
Taragama deceptrix, n. sp. (Plate XXXII, fig. 16.) 
Head, legs, palpi, thorax and abdomen dark chestnut; shaft 
of antennae black, pectinations reddish. F.w. ground colour, 
pinkish-chestnut, paler along the costa and on the inner margin, 
where a patch of paler hairs continues the outline of the h.w. so 
as to give the impression that these extend over the f.w.; above 
this patch the wings are of a rich chestnut; at the end of the cell
