( 4;^8 ) 



Forcicinq with SO' connate with SU-~"', anastomosing with 0, Tl' stalked, M' 

 connate; bright gnjen with costal edge white, small white discal dot and wavy 

 post-median line, the latter not well expressed except as white vein-dots, slightly 

 excnrved anteriorly and incnrved in snbmedian area ; termen with white dots at 



the vein-ends ; fringe whitish, dark-spotted opposite the veins. Ilindwing 



similar, the postmedian line still more ill-expressed. 



Underside paler, nnmarked. 



Zungern, Northern Nigeria (G. B. Simpson). Type in coll. Brit. Mus. 



102. Hemistola tricolorifrons spec, no v. 



S, 41-42 mm. Face red above, strongly mixed with green in middle, white 

 below. Palpns minnte (scarcely half diameter of eye), red above, white beneath. 

 Antenual shaft white, pectinations long, ochreons. Head green, with a narrow 

 white fillet between the antennae. Thorax and abdomen green above, white beneath. 

 Fore and middle legs red above and on inner side ; hindleg slender, tibia not 

 dilated. 



Wings nnnsnaJly broad, smooth-margined, thinly scaled, snbdiaphanons ; green, 



strignlated with white, as in Prasinoci/ma, no markings, fringe concolorons. 



Fore/r/tiff with SO' anastomosing shortly with 0, R' shortly stalked, M' connate ; 



costal margin very narrowly ochreons, still more narrowly edged with red. 



Ilindn-iixi with shortly approximated to cell, moderately rapidly diverging, M' 

 shortly stalked. 



Forewing beneath paler green, becoming whitish posteriorly ; costal edge 

 bright red in proximal half Hindwing beneath whitish. 



W. slopes of Monnt Kenya, .5000—8500 fi., February IS, 1911 (S. A. Neave). 

 Type in coll. Brit. Mus. Also a precisely similar S from Lamn Island, February 18, 

 1912 (S. A. Neave). 



Apart from the structure this species strongly recalls Prasinoci/tna ampla 

 Warr. {Sov. Zool. xi. p. 4G5), though even broader-winged. The hindwing shows a 

 very strong basal expansion and no trace of frenulum, otherwise I should have 

 suspected a relationship with the slender-winged species of Heterorachis {diaphana 

 Warr. and (m/llaria Swinh.). 



Lophostola Front. 



Since publishing my revision I have still further confirmed the absence of 

 the frenulum in this interesting genus fcf Gen. Ins. 129, pp. 229, 252). It is the 

 only one, so far as is yet known, which has preserved the .strong abdominal crests 

 (which tend to disap])ear in the specialised forms) with the loss of the c? frenulum, 

 and my " perhaps," in discussing the subject on p. 2 of my work, can be deleted. 



103. Lophostola cara si)ec. nov. 

 S. Differs from (iniiidigem Swinh. {Ami. Mag. Sat. Hist (8) iii. p. 94) in its 

 smaller size, slightly brighter, less bluish green colour, lack of dark spotting on 

 the ochreons costal margin of forewing, bright red discal spot on each wing, not 

 pale-centred and only very finely and indistinctly pale-surrounded, more yellowish 

 (not whitish) fringes, with no prominent fuscous line at base, the spots in the 

 middle of fringe more reddish fuscous ; abdominal crests likewise somewhat more 

 reddish. In addition, the two lines of the forewing do not terminate in markedly
