encloses a small olive-green spot ; an elongate white costal patcli anteriorly to 

 this ; a postmedian band formed as in albiplaga Warr. {Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 

 1893, p. 357, t. 31, f. S), bnt rather broader, a more broken band proximall.y to it, 

 consisting of a broad mark from eosta nearly to R^ (preceded proximally by a 

 small isolated white spot between SC'' and R'), a quadrate, snb-oi)Iong patch lying 

 on (anteriorly to) R' and some smaller spots in posterior half of wing ; subterminal 

 spots small, placed on the veins ; fringe with white spots in proximal half, continued 



more weakly in distal, placed opposite the veins. Uindwbig similar to that of 



albiplaqi(, the postmedian band (correspondingly to that of forewing) somewhat 

 thiciier, especially in the type specimen {S). 



Under-surface white, with extremely feeble traces of olive markings, especially 

 costally on tlie forewing.

Possibly a local race of albiplaga Warr. (of which I only know the ¥), with 

 much more white on forewing. The smaller size and much increased white 

 markings distinguish it from oUcescens AVarr., even if the venational difference 

 prove inconstant ; tlie shorter non-jjectinate part of the i antenna differentiates it 

 at once from the chn/solineata group. 



11 If). Comostolopsis subsimplex spec. nov. 



cj ? , 10-18 mm. Face bright orange ; vertex narrowly white between antennae, 

 crown otherwise green. Palpus bright orange, second joint pale beneath, third 

 joint strongly elongate. Autennal shaft whitish, S pectinations more reddish than 

 in sUllata Feld. Thorax and abdomen green dorsally. Foreleg marked with red 

 above and on inner side. 



Wings rather bright green, much less blue than in sfilhita, slightly darker 

 than in simplex Warr., costal edge of forewing extremely narrowly ochreons ; both 

 wings with dark red discal dot and terminal line, the latter interrupted at the 

 vein-ends and thickened midway between, and with golden yellow fringes (in the c? 

 slightly more reddish) ; forewing with two ill-expressed, wavy, whitish, transverse 

 lines, the outer apparently somewhat dentate, inonrved somewhat between the 

 radials and posteriorly, continued on hindwing. In the S the lines are marked 

 with small red dots on SM'-, that of the antemedian rather larger. 



Under-surface whitish green, the forewing with decided red suffusion except at 

 posterior margin ; fringes yellowish.

Chlorochrnnm (?) marghiaki Warr., Nor. Xnul, vi. p. 21 (I8'J;i). 



This species was accidentally omitted from my revision. Described from a 

 single ?,f'rom Little Key Island. Palpus long and slender; hindtibia with two 

 very unecpial pairs of spurs (Warren overlooked one of the medians) ; wing-shape 

 somewhat intermediate between that of normal Pyrrhorachis and that of 

 Cklotres ; forewing with .S(!' abont connate, M' stalked. I am inclined to snspect 

 it is an aberrant Pi/rrhorachia, bnt until the S is discovered it cannot positively 

 be proved that it is not a Prasinoci/ma {Chlorochroma Warr.), as tentatively 

 suggested by its author. The discocellulars are not at all like those of Comosfola.
