Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus strong, second joint rather long.strongly rough-scaled 
beneath and somewhat above, third joint in f small, concealed. Tongue present. Anienna in Q bipec- 
tinate to near apex with long branches, last few segments merely subserrate, ciliated. Pectus moderately 
hairy. Hindtibia in gf slender, with four closely approximated spurs. Abdomen not crested. Forewing 
rather broad, costa slightly arched at base, arched distally, straight between, apex moderate, termen 
rather straight, becoming somewhat curved towards tornus, moderately oblique, cell nearly one-half, 
DC rather strongly inbent. SC! from cell, anastomosing at a point with, or running into C 4), 
SC? normal, anastomosing at a point with SC! (or with C -- SC!), R! connate or shortstalked, 
M! separate; hindwing with costa moderately long, apex rounded, termen, except towards apex, hitle 
curved, tornus rather pronounced, cell almost one-halí, DC inbent anteriorly, C anastomosing with cell 
to considerably bevond one-halí, SC? rather long-stalked, M! separate. 
1) Lasiochilora $auxciilimeaía om type label. 
2) Omphacodes cvrvilinea, nov. sp, — 2,-omm. Fsceorange, paler below. Palpus orange vel'ow (apparentiy broken). Antennal 
shaft whitish, with moderate, rather strong, vellow pectinations. Vertex white, tinged with yellow; occiputgreen. lhoraxgreez above, white bencath; 
abdomen whitish (legs lost). Forewing with costa straight, except at base, apex acute, termen curveó, strongly oblique ; bright greez, cosiil eóge yellow; 
a fine white line from costa close to aper, rather oblique to midd:e, there curved and becoming more strongly oblique, reaching inner margin before two- 
thirds. Hindwing rather narrow, costa being long, apex rather prominent, but rounded, termen scarcely oblique, tornus less prorounced thaz in congezers; 
white, tinged with greenish at termen, and especially at torous and tornal half of inner margin. Underside of forewing pale green; of hindwing white. 
Warmbath, Transvaal, soth Nov., roo3 (C. ]. Swierstra). Type im coll. Brit. Mus. A narrower-winged insect than most of ihe genus, shaped zmore nearly 
as Rkadinomghax or Chloresferr ka, but differing in structure. In the absence of perfect material and ofthe Q, itis, however, impossible to state certainly 
thatit is correctly placed here. SC! of forewing is from cell, running into C, Ri separate ; DC? of hindwing islittie obigue, R* uve aboxe middle of DC. 
The marking of the forewing reminds of diverzexs, but that has the bindwing concolorous. 
3) Omphacodes elegans, nov. sp. — C, 20::m. Face and palpus red, slightly paler below. Foreleg orange-red (other legs lost). Vertex 
and antennal shaft whitish, pectinatons moderate, reddish yellow. Thorax green above. Abdomen white, dorsally pale green on fztíew segments. Fore- 
wing bright clear green, slightly tinged with bluish; costa narrowly whitish yellow, the exireme edge rather carker; az mirute white celi-spot ; an obbque 
white line irom below apex to inner marginat nesrlv two-Éíths, narrowly bordered by a bright orange lise distallv; fringe concolorozs. Hizdwing white, 
shaded with green in tornal region and along inner margin; proximal halí oí fringe green from tornus, gradually shading of to white towards apex, 
half of fringe entirely white. Underside similar, the forewing paler (brightest towards costa), with markings feebler. Kangonde, Kitwi, British E. Africa 
31 Dec., 1898 (R. C. Crawshay). Tvpe in coll. Brit. Mus. Super&cially extremely like C&Zorosferr ka Zickroma, bat di&ering in stracture. Palpzs longer 
than diameter of eye ; forewing with SC! anastomosing strongly with C, well away from SC*, R! separate, hindwing with M* very shortiv stailked. 
4) It should be pointed out that in thiscase, and probably others where SC!is said to run into C,it is really ri:her the costal end of C tbst 
is obsolete :ban the continuation of SC!, after tbe point of contact.
