199. GENUS ALLOCHROSTES, NOV. GEN., PROUT 
Allochrostes, nov. gen., Prout. 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus short, second joint rough-sca'ed beneath, third joint in 
both sexes quite small, in 9 slightly longer than in g'. Tongue slender. Antenna scarcely over one-half, 
in gf bipectinate almost to apex, with long, shortening branches, the few last being mere serrations; 
in Q similarly bipectinate, but with shorter branches. Pectus hairy. Femora slightly hairy. Hindtibia 
in Cf not dilated, in both sexes with a single pair of long spurs. Abdomen with dorsal pattern, but not 
crested. Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex moderate, termen slightly curved, oblique, cell almost 
one-half, DC? curved, oblique posteriorly, SC! from cell, running into C, which is far removed from 
SC?5, SC? normal. R! short-stalked or separate, M! separate; hindwing rather long. apex and termen 
well rounded, cell nearly one-half, DC? somewhat incurved anteriorly, C anastomosing to near end 
of cell, SC? stalked, R? scarcely above middle, M! separate. 
Early stages unknown. 
Related to Eucrostes, differing in the very strong anastomosis of vein C of hindwing and several 
less essential characters. From Xenochlorodes it differs in the rough-scaled palpus, the venation, etc., 
as well as in the scheme of pattern.

Xenochlorodes. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 4, p. 47 (1897). 
Characters, — Face smooth. Palpus very small, slender, second joint smooth-scaled, third joint 
minute. Tongue slender. Antenna in c bipectinate to near apex, with long branches, apical extremity 
nearly simple; in Q serrate or subserrate. Pectus and femora glabrous. Hindtibia in both sexes with 
1) Eucrostes insularis, nov. sp. — ? Q, 12-16 mm. Face red. Palpus in (c very short, in Q with second and third joints elongate ; 
ochreous, marked with red above and on outer side. Vertex broadly white, occiput narrowly green. Antennal shaft pure white at base, becoming ochreous- 
tinted; 9 with moderate pectinations, Q merely subserrate. Thorax and abdomen green above, whitish beneath and at anal extremity. Wings bright 
green, costal edge of forewing snow-white nearly to apex, margined by a yellowish (or yellow-green) subcostal streak to apex; each wing with a very small 
brown-red discal dot, and a very indistinct (sometimes almost ohsolete) whitish postmedian line, gently outcurved distally to cell and incurved posteriorly : 
fringes ample, concolorous proximally, paler and with a distinct red flush dlstally. Underside much paler, costa of forewing broadly red, and the entire 
costal half (or more) of the wing more or les suffused with that colour. Jena-agahan, 1200 feet, 6 January, 1899 (type &) *); Adho Dimellus, 3500 feet, 
2 Februari i899 (Q); Hadibu Plain, rr December, 1898 (3), 14 December, 1898 (2 Q); all in coll. Brit. Mus. Differs from ruóridisca, Warren, in 
the absence of red terminal line, and in the non-pectinate Q antenna. The two sexes show greater disparity in length of palpus than is usual in 
this genus, each being at the extreme in its own direction.
