FAM. GEOMETRIDZES 51 
NorE. — Agathia (2?) divaricata, Moore, Lep. Coll. Atkinson, p. 250, t. 8, f. 15, belongs to the

3l. GENUS PARAGATHIA, WARREN 
Paragathia 1). Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 9. p. 495 (1902). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus moderate to long, second joint densely scaled, third joint 
smooth, in cf quite moderate, in Q long, rather slender. Tongue present. Antenna in both sexes 
bipectinate, in cf with moderate, in Q with rather short branches. Pectus hairy. Hindtibia in gf not 
dilated, in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen weakly crested. Wings shaped and decorated as in 
Agathia. Frenulum fully developed. Forewing with DC deeply iacurved, very oblique posteriorly, 
SC! free, SC? normal, R! separate, M! separate; hindwing with DC incurved, oblique posteriorly, 
C approximated to cell to less than one-half, SC? separate, M! separate. . 
Early stages unknown. 
Differs chiefly from Agat/ia in the pectinate antennze of both sexes. 
Type of the genus : Paraegat/ia albimarginata, Warren (1902). 
Geographical distribution of species. — lropical Africa.

32. GENUS LOPHOCHLORA, WARREN 
Lophochlora. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. r, p. 389 (1894). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in c moderate, second joint shortly rough-scaled, third 
joint rather small (in Q probably elongate). Toneue present. Antenna in both sexes almost simple. 
Pectus densely hairy. Hindfemur in gf terminally thickened with a tuft of hairs, hindtibia much dilated, 
with short thick terminal process and strong floccous hair-pencil, all spurs present, terminals rather 
short, tarsus rather short. Metathorax crested. Abdomen with two tall crests, succeeded by three shorter 
but thick ones; cf with strong tufts of hair from posterior wall of basal cavity, the spine in the cavity 
very strong. Frenulum fully developed. Forewing somewhat elongate, costa somewhat arched, apex 
prominent, termen subcrenulate, oblique, very slightly elbowed in middle, DC incurved, fully as oblique 
anteriorly as posteriorly, SC! free, SC? normal, R! connate or separate, R? slightly above middle of DC, 
M! approximated to R?; hindwing elongate, termen crenulate, strongly toothed at R! and R*, excised 
between, inner margin long, cell almost one-half, DC rather deeply inbent, oblique posteriorly, C shortly 
appressed to SC near base, then rapidly diverging, SC? connate or separate, R* normal, M! approx- 
imated to R?. 
Early stages unknown. 
Another offshoot (scarcely more than a subgenus) of A4gafhzs, distinguished by the crested 
metathorax and the highly developed anterior crests of abdomen..
