56S Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker on 



Miresa unicolora, sp. n. 



^ . Head, thorax, and abdomen pale reddish brown, quite 

 unicolorous, almost like fresh-cut bark, and without any 

 markino^s. Secondaries paler and with a tinge of ochreous. 



$ . Head, thorax, and both wings uniform pale ochreous 

 grey. Primaries with a series of raised scales all over the 

 wing. Secondaries decidedly paler than primaries. 



Expanse, ^ 39, ? 48 mm. 



Hah. Gunnal, West Africa ; June. 



Types in my collection. 



Near M. pyrosommoides, Holl. At first I thought this 

 must be the same species as tiiat described by Holland, of 

 which I have a fair series of quite typical specimens from 

 the same locality ; but these two (taken in copula) have a 

 different look about them, and this led me to examine the 

 neuration, when I found that both, in addition to their 

 uniformly even colour, had the fork of veins 15 and 9 excep- 

 tionally short, arising much nearer the cell than in pyro- 

 sommoides, this character in all the other specimens being 

 quite typical. 



Parasa serratilinea, sp. n. 



S . Head, thorax, and abdomen Paris green ; palpi and 

 legs grey. Primaries Paris green, with a restricted basal 

 area of grey, its border being erect ; a subterminal sharply 

 serrate line from the apex to the tornus, the apical serrations 

 being small, those in the lower radial area larger, the line 

 being projected inwards in this region. Secondaries paler 

 green. 



Expanse 36 mm. 



Hah. Northern Nigeria. 



Type in my collection. 



I have described this species as entirely green ; my speci- 

 men is slightly yellowish at the tornus of the primaries and 

 the secondaries, but I am convinced from the appearance that 

 it is simply a damp stain. 



Pai'asa caton, sp. n. 



^. Head and thorax bright green ; antennas red-brown ; 

 abdomen yellow ; legs, breast, and ventral surface red-brown. 

 Primaries with the base obliquely pale red-brown, the outer 

 edge being angled twice; central area broadly bright pale 

 green ; terminal and subterminal areas broadly pale red-
