114 Mr, L. B. Prout on new 
have regarded this, and not pannosa, as the Indian race of 
megaspilaria. 
10. Comibena hemictenes, sp. n. 
(Pl. VII. fig. 21.) 
9 .— 34-35 mm. 
Face green, in middle with an admixture of red, below 
rather narrowly white. Palpus as in the other African 
species. Crown green, with a white line in front. Antenna 
pectinate, the branches very short, about equal in length to 
the diameter of the shaft. ‘Thorax and abdomen above green, 
beneath white; the abdomen dorsally with some red irrora- 
tion, especially at the edges of the large snow-white spots of 
the third and fourth tergites; a slight red-brown spot on 
first abdominal. Legs white, more or less spotted (the hind 
pair very weakly) with reddish brown. 
Fore wing bright green, as in leucospilata, Walk., etc. ; 
costal edge white, shading off to yellowish ; lines tine, white ; 
antemedian from SC at 3°5 mm., slightly excurved to SM’, 
then slightly oblique outward to hind margin ; postmedian 
from SC at 4 mm, from termen, slightly oblique outward, 
slightly bent before M!, then straightish to the proximal edge 
of tornal blotch at hind margin ; cell-dot small, black, red- 
mixed ; terminal line strong, red, extending 1 mm. round 
apex, interrupted by white dots at the veins, beyond M? 
gradually expanding into asmall tornal blotch; fringe white, 
with curved or subtriangular red spots, placed so as to connect 
the terminal line on the outer side of the white dots. 
Hind wing without the lines; cell-dot minute; terminal 
line and fringe as on fore wing, but with a small apical 
blotch corresponding to the tornal of fore wing. 
Underside whitish, greener in proximal and costal parts of 
fore wing, especially subcostally (the costal edge itself white, 
as above) ; cell-dotsand terminal markings (except the tornal 
blotch of fore wing) reproduced ; fore wing with the two 
lines faint gieen, the postmedian crenulate ; hind wing with 
a fine, rather weak, crenulate postmedian green line, about 
parallel with termen except after M’, where it runs somewhat 
obliquely in the direction of the tornus. 
Ivory Coast, type and another. 
Distinguished from leucospilata, Walk., and its race (?) es- 
meralda, Warr., by the pectinate antenna. Of rufitornus, 
Prout (Nov. Zool. xxiii. p. 275), from East Africa, which is, 
perhaps, still nearer, the 2 is unknown; but in that species 
the ground-colour is strongly strigulated with white.
