above is salmon-colour, here rather free from blackish irroratiou and slightly tinged 

 with reddish, distal half of submedian area also rather free from irroratiou, but not 

 reddish. 



N. Kavirondo, Maramas District, Ilala, British East Africa, 4oii0 ft., Jnne 2U, 

 11)11 (S. A. Ncave). Type in coll. Brit. Mus. 



A very distinct species, entirely without the discolorous distal borders of the 

 other species of Chlorodrcpana. 



58. Gelasma insulsata (Warr.). 



Euxcna iiixithiifa Warr., Nov. Zuol. iv. p. 39. 



This sjiecies is clearly a Gelasma by all characters. On my first examination 

 of Warren's type I noted the basal e.xpansion of the hiudwiug, which would place 

 it in my Group V., but by some nnacconntable oversight I ignored this note later, 

 and left the species in Euxena {Gen. Ins. 129, p. 64), although with a query ou 

 account of the pectinate S antenna. I have recently re-examined the type. 



S9. Gelasma albitaenia spec. nov. 



c? ? , 28-34 mm. Face ochreous, with lower edge white. Palpus ocbreous 

 above, white beneath. Antennal shaft white proximally, ochreous distally ; 

 j)ectinations ochreous. Vertex white, a band posteriorly concolorous with thorax. 

 Thorax above olive-green mixed with white ; abdomen paler ; both beneath white. 



Foreu'ing coloured and marked nearly as in spumata Warr. {Nov. Zoo/, xiii. 

 p. 88), but wanting the dark cell-spot and with the white snbterminal line broad 

 and conspicuons, somewhat inbeut at R'^ and in snbmedian area. In this it more 

 resembles thetydaria Guen., which has longer, more fuscous pectinations, much 



broader, differently jjlaced lines, rather broader hindwing, etc. Hindwing 



slightly narrower than in spumuta, the tail at 11^ slightly less pronounced ; coloured 

 and marked similarly to that species, cell-spot wanting ; the white snbterminal 

 much narrower and less conspicuous than on forewing. 



Underside whitish, similarly but much more faintly marked, almost 

 unicolorous. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type S in coll. Rothschild. Also a ? 

 from Setekwa River, September 1910 (coll. Rothschild), and a further example in 

 coll. Brit. Mus. 



60. Gelasma smaragdina spec. nov. 



?, 29 mm. Face green. I'alpns rather slender, twice diameter of eye, 

 terminal joint moderate ; green, paler beneath. Head green ; a fillet and base of 

 antenna white. Thorax and abdomen green above, the latter with small white 

 spots. Fore-femur and tibia green above. 



Forewing with apex sharj), termen almost smooth, oblique, scarcely convex ; 

 SC curved, successively approaching (! and SC- (ou the right wing in the uni(|ue 

 type touching the former, thus certainly variable in the species), DC deeply incurved, 

 R'' much before middle, M' separate; rather bright, light blue-green, costal edge 

 (except at base) liglit pnri)lish-fnscous strignlated witli whitish ; lines and discal 

 spot (ratiier near first line, cell being short) much yellower green; first line from 

 before one-fourth costa to one-third hiudmargin, excurved and sinuous, accom- 

 panied proximally by faint pale shading ; postmedian at three-fifths, slightly
