Page 229 : LopAostola. The study of a pair of examples of « Hemitlea » atridisca, Warren, which 
we tentatively placed (p. 182 supra) in Neromta, satisfies us that it is quite nearly related to anuuligera, 
Swinhoe, the type of Lofhostola, differing little except in its rather smoother wing-margins. The well- 
developed abdominal crests, long Q palpus and absence of c frenulum separate it essentially from 
Neromia. On the strength of this generic union, we are able to confirm the placing of LofAostola 1n 
Group VI, and to complete our diagnosis thus : hindtibia in both sexes with terminal spurs only.

Page 244 : 6. M. xanthostephana. A Q from Nakutu, British E. Africa. 8 May, r911 (H. A. Badeker), 
recently presented to the British Museum by the African Entomological Research Committee, agrees 
well with the Transvaal examples of this species, although having the postmedian line slender and 
slightly less oblique. 
1) Prasinocyma (?) ceeruleotincta, nov. sp. — 2, 2; mm. Face olive-fuscous, narrowly white below. Palpus with second joint 
stout, third joint quite moderate; olive-brown, first joint and base of second white beneath. Vertex and base of antenna white. Body white, thorax 
tinged with green-blue above. Forewing broad, SC! connate, anastomosing strongly with C, SC? normal, anastomosing strongly with SC!, R! well 
separate, M! nearly connate ; rather thinly scaled, delicate blue (nearly as in the genus Derxexa, but slightly more greenish], costa bright ochreous, 
lines consisting of large grey-black spots at costa and on veins, antemedian from about one-fourth costa, rather straight, postmedian from costa before 
two-thirds, strongly outcurved; cell spot large, black; some minute grey dots at termen. Hindwing elbowed at R?, cell short, DC? rather oblique 
outwards, DC? incurved, C approximated to cell at little more than a point, rapidly diverging, R? from near R!, M! rather longer-stalked than SC?; 
marked like forewing, but without the first line. Underside almost concolorous with upper, unmarked. Mimika River, New Guinea, July, roro 
(A. F. R. Wollaston). Type in coll. Brit. Mus. A very distinct species. 
2) Omphax shorti, nov. sp. — c, 32 mm. Face pale ochreous, reddish above. Palpus very minute, but rough-scaled, reddish, dark- 
marked. Vertex, antenna and front of thorax pale ochreous; thorax and first segment of abdomen dorsally green. abdomen otherwise white, with 
strongly developed white crests on second. third and fourth segments. Wings above bright green. Forewing with costal margin for a breadth of 
about r mm. creamy white, the extreme edge ochreous; distal margin the same, broadening into a small blotch anally and extending a llttle way 
along inner margin, traversed throughout by a thick pale ochreous line which likewise broadens anally; terminal line fine, brighter ochreous, extending 
along inner margin as far as does the blotch; fringe ochreous whitish. Hindwing similar, the costal margin broader and whiter, not ochreous edged, 
the distal broadening slightly towards apex, the extension along inner margin very narrow, but reaching nearly to base, not ochreous-edged. Under- 
side whitish green, with all the margins whitish ochreous, not sharply defined. Selukwe, S. Rhodesia, 20.27 October, roro (F. W. Short). Type in 
coll. L. B. Prout. Not quite a typical O»:sZax, the crests being as in Ce/idom/ax, while the pattern strongly recalls HaycoZsodes acoelopa ; but 
the rest of the characters are typical. The antenna is thick, vein SC! ol forewing free. We have great pleasure in dedicating this lovely species to 
Mr. F. W. Short, B. Sc., F. I. E., of Selukwe, to whom we owe its discovery and by whose generosity it now stands in our collection. 
3) The description given would rather suggest a close ally of CA/or?ssa ulmentaria and faustinata. The cj is not known, and the Q tibial 
armature was not noted. Bred from A/us oxyacatAa.
