16. H. semialbida, nov. sp. 4), Prout. — Pl. 5, Fig. Il. Griqualand. 
1) So determined by Werneburg, Bei. ScAmett. Vol. x, p. 304, but the description is in opposition thereto. 
2) Hemistola chrysoprasaria lissas, nov. subsp. — Termen of hindwing without the elbow at R?; average size smaller, lines of 
forewing inclined towards approximation (but this last occurs as an aberration in the type form, and is probably also variable in the race Z/ssas). 
3) This may possibly prove to be a brightly coloured JVo/Zo£er?za; we have not been able to give it much study. The palpus is minute in both 
sexes, C of hindwing anastomoses at a point, then gradually diverging. 
4) Hemistola semialbida, nov. sp. — 92, 4o mm. Face, palpus and inner side of legs red. Head bright green, narrowly ochreous white 
between antennz. Antennal shaft ochreous white, pectinations long, reddish ochreous. Thorax green above, whitish beneath; legs whitish externally, 
forecoxa marked with green. Abdomen ochreous white. Forewing above uniform bright green, the costa narrowly pale ochreous; fringe ample, green 
proximally, white distally. Hindwing white, faintly tinged with green, becoming green at inner margin, especially towards tornus; fringe nearly as in fore- 
wing. Underside of both wings very pale green, darkening towards the margins, especially the anterior part of forewing ; costa of forewing pale ochreous. 
Matatiele, Griqualand East, East Cape Colony, November, r905 (E. H. Bazeley). Type in coll. Oxford Mus. Agrees with Section II as here characterized, 
except that the second joint of palpus is slightly rougher scaled below, and the wings (particularly the hindwing) are somewhat differently shaped, the 
hindwing having the costa longer and termen less convex. Suggests in shape, and in the whitening of the hindwing, a connecting link between Zertisfola 
and CA/orosterr ka (?) semralba, Swinhoe.
