Forewing with costa ocbreous mixed with ferruginous and spotted with 



i'nscous ; an irreguhxr pale line at base ; some fine wliite subbasal markings, 

 tending to form one or two irregular transverse lines ; antemedian line slender, 

 white, lunulate-dentate, the teeth pointing proximad on the veius, the course 

 oblique outwards to snbmedian fold, then incurved to SM- and again oblique 

 outwards to rather before middle of hiiidmargin, here accompanied proximally b}' 

 a flattened, red, black-mixed blotch, slightly variable in extent, but never crossing 

 far beyond SM- ; a crescentic white cell-mark ; postmedian line white, somewhat 

 zigzag, lunnlate-dentate, the teeth pointing distad on the veins ; thickened and 

 produced at R', exceedingly fine from W to beyond R-, a little thickened at R^ ; 

 also thick costally, where it forms a white jiroximal margin to a ferruginous and 

 reddish snbapical blotch which contains distally two black, distally white-edged 

 spots ; a small, flat, ferruginous, black-marked blotch on posterior margin from 

 postmedian line to tornus ; a small white triangle in or close to apex ; a smaller, 

 rounder white dot behind it, between S(''' and R', a series of minute interneural 

 ones (mostly in j)airs) continuing these subterminally ; terminal whitish triangular 

 dots at vein-ends : fringe pale with a broad, interrupted, reddish-fuscous line 



intersecting it before middle and a greyer one distally. Hindtoing without first 



line, white cell-mark or inner-marginal blotches, the rest nearly as on forewing ; a 

 white spot (sometimes minute) at the base of M-; the snbapical blotch of forewing 

 here becomes apical, and is extended nearly to R-, is more black-dusted and contains 

 two or three rather large black spots. 



Under-snrface much paler green, the white markings of upperside present but 

 feeble, the ajiical blotches of both wings present, uniformly blackish. 



Mount Goliath, January — February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Roth- 

 schild; 9 other c? cj in coll. Rothschild and Brit. Mus. 



Possibly a local race oi gracHilinea Warr. (^Xoe. Zool. xiv. p. 127), from which 

 it scarcely differs except that the jiostmedian line of both wings i.s dentate on 

 all the veins, whereas in that species it makes a single bold curve from before R^ 

 to behind M^ and that on the forewing the line is more faint about R" and R^. 

 From (lecorata Warr., which it also resembles, it can be distinguished by the 

 deeper, bluer green colour, clearer white lines, larger blotch on posterior margin 

 proximally to the first line of forewing, larger snbapical blotch on forewing 

 beneath, etc. 



v. A ? whicli I think, on account of the tufted metathorax, position and 

 course of antemedian lino, thin, curved discal mark, approximation of lines on 

 jiosterior margin, separated snbapical sjjiits of forewing, white colour at ape.v, etc., 

 may be referable to this species, should be described here. 36 mm. Face green, 

 thorax partly green, vertex, middle of thorax, metathoracic tuft and abdomen mixed 



with white and dccji flesh-colour. Fori'iviiig with base and costa broadly the 



same, tin; narrow, curved discal mark confluent therewith ; first line white, rather 

 thick, wavy, rather oblique outwards from costal margin to submedian fold, here 

 roundly bent and thence slightly incurved ; accomjjanied proximally in i)osterior 

 lialf of wing by a rather large, deep flesh-coloured blotcli ; [tostmedian line white, 

 from nciirlv twci-thirds rcista, about p;i,rallel with ternien tn !{■', then strongly out- 

 bc;nt, forming a strong rounded [iniminencc, ini-urveil again to and along M-, 

 iipproaching first line, the enclosed green space from here to posterior margin being 

 only about 1 mm. broad; a narrow pale fleshy band follows the postmedian, then 

 three ovate green spots between >S('' and K-', si^paratc'd by pale veins, succeeded
