li.tS. Pyrrhorachis rhodometopa spec nov. 



<S , 22 mm. Face green, forehead partly crimson. Vertex crimson, between 

 antennae, the rest of the head green. Antennal shaft crimson in basal half, slightly 

 spotted with whitish. Thora.x above red in middle, patagia and tegnlae green. 

 Base of abdomen green dorsally, dorsum otherwise red. 



Wings bright apple-green. Forewing with costal margin yellowish, densely 



sprinkled throughout with deep crimson ; distal margin red, preceded by a very 

 fine yellow line which runs out into dots at the vein-ends ; fringe pink proximally, 

 paler and duller distally. Ilim/wing with termeu and fringe as on forewing. 



"Wings beneath paler, forewing with costal margin fuscous, both wings with 

 elongate fuscous interneural spots at termen, fringe lighter fuscous. 



Mount Goliath, January— February 1911 (A. S. Meek), 2 c? c? in coll. Rothschild. 



Closely related to ruficeps Warr. {Nor. Zool. xiii. p. 89), possibly a local race, 

 but larger, with less of the face red, the red borders of the wings much narrower, 

 the costal more crimson red, not dotted with fuscous ; termen of forewing rather 

 less rounded, hindwing rather less elongate, etc. 



Androzeugma gen. nov. 



Face smooth. Palpus rather slender, with appressed scales ; in 3 rather short, 

 in ? moderate, third joint in both sexes distinct, in 3 rather short, in ? more 

 elongate. Tongue present. Antenna in c? thick, almost simple, shortly lamellate ; 

 in ? simple. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in S not dilated, in both sexes with 

 a pair of short terminal spurs, medians wanting. Abdomen not crested. Wings 

 delicate, rather thinly scaled, termen almost smooth, that of hindwing very slightly 

 bent at R'. Frenulum wanting in both sexes. Forewing with cell rather short, 

 8C'~'' stalked, SC free or anastomosing with 0, SC- normal, R' stalked with 

 subcostals, M' stalked ; hindwing with cell short, D(J^ moderately oblique, C in 

 the c? anastomosing with SC, shortly or to less than one-half cell, in ? merely 

 appressed, SC- rather long-stalked, M' stalked. 



Type of the genus : Androzeugmn Iiapala spec. nov. 



Belongs to my Group VI. Although the more slender build, thinner scaling, 

 coloration, etc., strongly suggest that it has no really near affinity with Mixocera 

 Warr., the structural variations in the last-named leave few characters which can 

 be rigidly enforced as difterential in all cases. The pali)al diflerences are the 

 most convenient ; the anastomosis of C of tlie hindwing with the cell in the male 

 is stronger than has been observed outside the five genera separated off at No. 2 

 in my key, but, curiously enough, is not shared by the ? . To adapt my key to the 

 receptioti of this new genus it will be necessary to read {(li'ii. f//s. 129, p. is) : 



18. Palpus in both sexes (piite short 19. 



Paljius moderate to long, especially in the ? . . . . 20. 



2IJ. Face and femora smooth ; both wings with M' stalked or at least 



connate .......... 20A. 



Face rough-scaled, feuKira hairy, both wings with M' widely 



sejiarate at origin ........ Ttilops. 



20a. Antenna in lioth sexes pectinate (or in ? sometimes serrate), 



build rol)UKt, sealing thick, forewing with SC from cell Eucrostes. 

 Antenna in both sexes sim|)le, build slender, scaling thin, fore- 

 wing with SC stalked ..... Androzeugimi t.
