.in ? with third joint rather long and slender, but much less extreme than in 

 alboviridata Saalm., mostly purple-red. Anteunal shaft white in proximal half, 

 more reddish in distal ; <S with rather long pectinations, ? not pectinate. Thorax 

 and base of abdomen dorsally green ; abdomen otherwise whitish, mixed with 

 purple-reddish dorsally and with two or three small narrow crests. 



Foretcing bright green, costal edge white mixed with purple-pink (lighter 

 than in viridalbata, but otherwise similar) ; discal dot white, a smaller white 

 dot anterior to it on DC^ (as in viridalbata) ; lines nearly obsolete, the postmediau 

 faintly indicated by a few minute white vein-dots ; a fine dark reddish terminal 

 line interrupted by minute white dots at the vein-ends ; fringe nearly as in 



viridalbata. Ilindwing with (J anastomosing with SO to middle of cell ; marked 



as forewing, except the costal edge. 



Under-snrface whitish green, costal edge of forewing reddish, becoming pale 

 distally ; both wings with tine fuscous terminal line, interrupted at the veins. 



Johannesburg (J. P. Cregoe). Type (cj) and ",' ? ? in coll. Brit. Mus., ex 

 coll. Distant. 



In the nearly unmarked wings, with pnrjilish fringes, this species rather 

 recalls a Heterorachis than a Rhodesia, and even in structure it is not absolutely 

 typical, the less extreme palpus being an irregularity. 



99. Hierochthonia robusta spec. nov. 



?, 16 mm. Face ochreons, head otherwise whitish. Palpus fully as long 

 as diameter of eye, rather stout, ochreons, more wiiitish towards base. Anteunal 

 shaft whitish at base, becoming more ochreons ; shortly jiectinate. Thorax and 

 abdomen green above, whitish beneath ; abdomen robust. Legs more ochreons. 



Forewing shaped as in petifaria Chr., or termen slightly more oblique ; SC 

 well free, R' connate with SC'-'^', D(J' curved, becoming strongly oblique, M' connate 

 or nearly so ; pale yellow-green, closely irrorated with bright grass-green, the 

 resultant tone about as in petitaria. ; costal edge pale yellowish ; no markings, 

 only in some lights a faint suggestion of a paler postmediau line, placed rather 

 far distally, and of a darkening of the green colour in the position of the cell-spot. 



Fringe green proximally, more yellowish distally. Ilindwing less elongate 



costally than in pHitaria ; C anastomosing with SC to about one-half the cell ; 

 DC^ somewliat curved, becoming oblique, R- from little above middle of UC, 

 M' short-stulked ; concolorous with forewing, unmarked or with faint indication 

 of cell-spot.

The cotype is a sport in venation, SC- in both wings bifurcate from rather 

 near its point of origin.

('oncerning this genns I wrote ((Jivn. Ins. \2'.), p. 140): " It is unfortunate to 

 be (wnijiellcd to found a genus upon a species of which we have only the ? before 

 us, but the (-oniliirjation of (characters marks it out as abundantly distinct. Should 

 the (f frenulum prove to be absent, it must be transferred to the vicinity of 

 Thalera, from which it differs widely in venation, but little otherwise." I have 

 now seen a 6 in coll. R(jthscliild (also from Burma, the only known habitat), 

 and find, as I susjiected, that the frenulum is wanting; anteunal i)e(tinati(ins 

 long. I propose [ilacing it ue.xt after Tlialcni, and in my key to (iroup VI.,
