2) Agrees in most characters with Zwcrosíes, but M! of hindwing is not stalked. The hindlegs are lost. We know only the type specimen. 
3 €ucrostes rhodophthalma, nov. sp. — OQ,22 mm. Face crimson. Palpus crimson, pale beneath, third joint long. Antennal shaft 
whitish, pectinations short. Vertex broadly white, occiput green. Thorax and abdomen green above (damaged). Thorax beneath, and upper side of fore- 
and middle-legs reddish. Wings bright green, slightly more bluish than in zzZigenata, etc. Forewing with costal edge broadly white, only at extreme base 
green and at extreme apex narrowly marked with rosy (in continuation of the terminal line); a pale sinuous postmedian line at two-thirds faintly indicated 
discal spot rather large, rose-colour, narrowly surrounded with white; terminal line fine, dark, tinged with crimson; a small white, rosy-margined terminal 
spot between M?and SM?; fringe rosy. Hindwing similar, the discal spot considerably larger, termen with a series of the white, rosy-margined spots 
between the veins, though all except the tornal one very small. Underside much paler, costal half of forewing flushed with red. Cape of Good Hope, 
probably Transkei presented by Miss F. Barrett). Type in coll. Brit. Mus. A typical Escrostes in all respects, except tbat the palpus is longer than usual.
