Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus short, very slender, scarcely rough-scaled. Tongue wanting. 
Antenna less than one-half. in Q bipectinate to near apex, with rather long branches (gf unknown). 
Pectus hairy. Hindtibia with terminal spurs only. Abdomen robust. Forewing broad, costa slightly 
arched, apex moderate, termen curved, not very oblique, cell almost one-half, DC incurved, SC! from cell, 
free, SC? normal, R! connate or just stalked, M! separate; hindwing broad, apex and termen rounded, 
tornus rather pronounced, cell broad, not quite one-half, DC slightly incurved, C approximated to cell 
in second quarter, rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, M' separate. 
1) Hemistola perviridis, nov. sp. — OQ, 3; mm. l'ace and palpus red; palpus minute. Vertex and antennal shaft whitish ochreous, 
pectinations rather long. Occiput green. Thorax and abdomen bright green above, white beneath. Legs largely deep red, except hindtibia and tarsus. 
Wings uniform bright green, without markings (the colour formed by dense bright deep green irroration on pale green ground); costa of forewing narrowly 
ochreous; fringes concolorous with wing proximally, narrowly ochreous whitish distally Underside similar, but somewhat paler green. Pretoria, Transvaal, 
25 February, 1905 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in coll, Brit. Mus. Probably closely related to Za//oa, agreeing in venation, etc., but with longer antennal 
pectinations and proximal part of fringe green [no red tinge in distal part). Shape and aspect are rather near OrrgAax, and it is of course possible that the 
discovery of the c will show that sex to possess a frenulum, in which case a re-arrangzement will be necessary. The same remarks apply to the next species, 
of which also unfortunately only the Q is known; it differs from Jervirifisinits smaller size, much shorter antennal pectinations and more regularly 
rounded hindwing; in the present species the costa of hindwing is rather long, apical region therefore rather prominent. 
2) Hemistola simplicissima, nov. sp. — 9,33 mm, Extremely like the preceding species, also reminding much (except in the somewhat 
less sharp apex of forewing and tornus of hindwing] of. QmgAax Zeucocraspeda. Antennal pectinations much shorter than in fervir:dis — scarcely as 
long as diameter of shaft, which is rather stout ; face and legs as in fexvzr£is ; dorsum of abdomen green excepting anal extremity, which, together with 
venter, is white; costa o! both wings relatively shorter than in Jervir:Zis ; fringes green in proximal half, white in distal, entirely without the pinkish-grey 
tips of Zagloa. In both wings M! is well separate from R?; in the hindwing C is less closely appressed to cell than in 4a4/oa and Zerviridis, but continues 
approximated for more than a point — i. e. the venation is more typically that of. /Zemzs£oía; in the forewing SC! anastomoses shortly with C, but is 
well separate from SC?. Pretoria, 3 February, t9ro. Type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. 
3) Hemistola incommoda, nov. sp. — O, 22 mm. Face deep red. Palpus scarcely longer than diameter of eye, deep red above, paler 
beneath. Vertex and antennal shaft pale ochreous ; pectinations moderate, reaching to about two-thirds, giving place to subdentate structure, with short 
ciliation. Thorax green above. Legs ochreous, fore-and middle-leg deep red on upper and inner sides; hindtibia not dilated, the spurs very unequal, only 
the inner terminal long. Forewing uniform bright green, of the same shade as in typical O»t^zax; costal edge narrowly crimson ; fringe concolorous with 
wing proximally, pale distally Hindwing ochreous, paler towards base (possibly discoloured from green!. Underside of both wings ochreous, more reddish 
than above, costal red shade of forewing much broadened, especially towards base; a greenish shade pervading the cell of forewing (again suggesting the 
possibility that the ochreous colouring may be artificial). Transkei, Cape Colony (Miss F Barrett). Type in coll. L. B. Prout ; cotype hopelessly disco- 
loured, but easily recognizable by structure) in coll. Brit, Mus. An interesting, somewhat anomalous species, which might be taken, but for the absence of 
frenulum, for a small, pectinate O »24ax, while in coloration it is curiously like the Australian Mixoc/roa gratéiosata, Both cells one-half, C of forewing 
well separate from SC, SC! arising well back, anastomosing shortly with C, SC*5 well before R!, M! well separate; C of hindwing approximated to about 
one-half, then moderately diverging, R? not extreme, M! wellseparate. Evidently very susceptible to moisture, a discoloured patch on forewing resembling 
in colour the hindwings and suggesting the query raised above, although we understood Mr. C. G. Barrett that no change in hindwing had occurred in 
relaxing.
