Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus minute. Tongue rudimentary. Antenna in both sexes 
simple, slightly pubescent. Pectus hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in cf somewhat dilated with 
1) Bathycolpodes vegeta, nov. sp. — C, 24 mm. Face and palpus blackish, the latter rather longer than in most of the genus. Antenna 
red-brown proximallv, blackish distally, the teeth quite slight, ciliation regular. Vertex red-brown, blackish posteriorly. Thorax green. Abdomen marked 
with green (discoloured). Forewing with termen crenulate, shghtly excised between R! and R?, gibbous at R? and Mt, then very oblique; rather dark 
blue-green, costa red-brown coarsely spotted with black, termen with red-brown, black-sprinkled and coarsely black-edged, crescentic markings, the first 
between apex and SC*, the second between SC* and R!, the third (larger) between R! and R?, the last (a moderate-sized blotch at tornus) reaching to M*; 
a very feebly indicated, diffuse darker green cell-spot; terminal line black; fringe brown, tinged with red and chequered with black at the vein-ends. 
Hindwing rather elongate, the teeth at R! and R? strong, the excision between deep; similar to forewing, but with the anterior two blotches larger, 
confluent, and the tornal one very small. Underside dirty pale green, the forewing somewhat clouded (except at margins) with greyish; cell-spots conspi- 
cuous, fuscous, terminal markings nearly as above, but paler, centred with the ground-colour instead of with reddish, their dark edges broad and difluse. 
Ilesha, S. Nigeria (L. E. H. Humífrey). iype in coll. Brit. Mus. Nearest to £abarza, Swinhoe, the shape more extreme (intermediate towards excavafa), 
the dark borders narrower, underside greenish not pink, etc. 
2) Bathyco podes acoelopa, nov. sp. — d,22 mm. Face an | palpus black, mixed with red. Vertex and antenna reddish ochreous, 
the pedicels of the fascicles of cilia elongate, forming slender, rudimentary pectinations. Occiput paler ochreous, margined anteriorly by a narrow black 
band on crown. 'Fhorax and base of abdomen green dorsally, the rest of body, wi: h legs, ochreous somewhat mixed with reddish; a deep brown-red lateral 
streak on second abdominal segmen., slightly margined beneath with green. Forewing with termen not excavated in anterior half, merely very feebly 
sinuate; blue-green, costal margin from SC pale ochreous, becoming much redder costally, coarsely speckled with blackish; terminal one-third pale 
ochreous, clonded with darker, especially in its middle, and speckled with blackish, a blackish mark near costa and an elongate blackish blotch from 
tornus ; the green:area is bounded by a blackish line from costa at three-fourths to inner margin at two-thirds, dentate outwards on the veins (most weakly 
on R3) and slightly incurved between radials and in submedian area; the space immediately following the line is narrowly whitish; no distinct terminal 
line; fringe ochreous. Hindwing with the tooth at R! and the excision rather slight; similar to forewing, but with the blackish line bounding the green area 
not dentate, but slightly incurved from apex at two thirds, then more strongly outcurved, approaching termen at M? and still more closely at tornus, slightly 
recurved between; the tornal blackish blotch very minute, an elongate one, on the other hand, running from apex to R1; inner margin very narrowly 
ochreous nearly to base. Underside of forewing with basal two-thirds vaguely clouded with reddish except at inner margin, costal edge red, terminal 
area nearly as above, but with the fuscous blotch extended (though gradually narrowing and becoming slightiy interrupted) from tornus to SC4; of hindwing 
with the fuscous blotch from costa to beyond R?. Ilesha, S. Nigeria (L. E. H. Humífrey). Type:n coll. Brit. Mus. 
3) Bathycolpodes anisotes, nov. sp. — O9, 28 mm. Face dull red. Palpus dull red above, ochreous beneath. Tongue developed. 
Antenna with short, but true pectinations, bearing cilia. Head reddish, with a black band across crown. Thorax green above. Abdomen pale ochreous 
brown, the crests well developed, tinged with reddish. Forewing with termen very weakly crenulate, not excised below apex; rather dark bluish green; 
costa light ochreous, shaded with red, and coarsely speckled with blackish ; distal margin for an average width of 2,5 mm. ochreous, centrally traversed by 
a red-brown shade, and irregularly speckled with blackish, the speckling sometimes concentrated close to tornus to form a vague blotch ; proximal edge 
of this margin marked by a narrow white, proximally finely fuscous-edged line which is toothed outwards on SC* and R!, incurved between radials and 
again posteriorly to M1, toothed again on M? and SM?; terminal dark spots between the veins; fringe ochreous. Hindwing with termen subcrenulate, the 
tooth at R! acute, but the excision following not very deep; coloured as forewing, the ochreous margin broadest in anterior half, and sometimes with a. 
curved grey blotch from apex to R?. Underside much paler and more uniforn, but with the tornal blotch of forewing and apical of hindwing strong fuscous, 
thelatter extended to beyond R?. W. Africa (Bonny). Type in Oxford Museum, ex coll. Saunders. Old Calabar (S. D. Crompton). Co-type in coll. Brit. 
Mus. Nearly allied to the preceding species, but differing somewhat in shape and in the form of the terminal bands. and especially in the pectinate antenna.
