after No. 14 (" Hiiidtiliia with terminal spurs only"). Its separation can ipiite 

 simply bo effected thus : 



Forewing with SC- arising after SO"' Chloropaida. 



Forewing with SC- arising before SC .... the rest. 



Dysdamartia gen. nov. 



Face smooth. I'alpiis in both sexes quite short, hairy beneath. Tongue 

 present. Antenna not (piite one-half length of forewing, in both sexes bipei'tinate 

 almost to a))ex, the earlier branches long in c?, moderate in ?. Pectns and femora 

 glabrous. Hindliliia in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Abilomen slightly 



crested. Freuuhnu wanting in both sexes. Forcwiin/ with costa arched, especially 



at base, apex roundly prominent, termen strongly excised between, ape.x and R', 

 strongly prominent between R'' and M' ; cell about one-half, DC curved, becoming 

 oblique, SC from near end of cell, anastomosing at a ■i)oint or shortly with C, 



SU"^^ long-stalked, S(_!'-' separating first, R' separate, M' well separate. UiiKhciiuj 



with termen rounded, only straight between U' and R^, tornus rather pronounced ; 

 cell about one-half, DC shortly inbent anteriorly, then rather strongly oblique 

 outwards ; C anastomosing at a point or scarcely more with cell near base, SC- 

 stalked, R- from near R', M' well separate. 



Type of the genus : Dijsdamartia qmaesita spec. nov. 



Near Chloroparda^ but with SC- of forewing arising before SC*, termen of 

 hindwing not excised, etc. Differs also from Thalera in shape, abdominal crests, 

 etc. The sexes differ greatly in markings in the only known species, which, is not 

 at all the case in those genera. In my key, Group VI., the wording under No. 13 

 had better be slightly changed, as Dysdamartia is in a measure intermediate. If 

 we read "Abdomen strongly crested " for Lophostola and " Abdomen not or slightly 

 crested" for the rest, no confusion can arise. The new genus can then be introduced 

 at No. 19 : 



Abdomen somewhat crested ; forewing with termen deeply excised 



Dijsdatnartia. 



Abdomen not crested ; forewing with termen smooth . Ci/nmtoplex ; Mixocera. 



100. Dysdamartia quaesita spec. nov. 



c?, 22-^3 mm. Face and palpus red. Antennal shaft j)ale straw-colour 

 spotted with red. Vertex and thorax above green. Thorax beneath, with legs, 

 largely reddish. Abdomen ochreous, mixed with reddish, especially dorsally. 



Fom/vinr/ v'lch deeji green, the costal edge reddish ochreous, a small (occasionally 

 larger) whitish spot between R' and M' at their base, edged, irregularly and variably, 

 with a rim of mixed black and red scales : fringe shining pale yellowish, mostly 

 purple-blackish at base, and with spots of the same colour extending irregularly 

 and to variable distances across the fringe, the largest and most prominent covering 

 it between R' and M'. IlindiciiKj j>ale fleshy, sometin:es whitish, always darken- 

 ing at termen and especially at tornus and inner margin, the dark tornal lilotch 

 sometimes mixed with fuscous, always separated from the inner-marginal darkening 

 by a narrow pale space ; fringe concolorous with that of forewing, none of the dark 



spots (or only that at apex) crossing it completely. Underside, bright reddish. 



l)aler towards inner margin of both wings, especially of forewing ; costal edge of 

 forewing bright ochreous.
