Hameopis, gen. nov. 



Apparently nearer to Zamacra than to any other Greometrid 

 genus, though differing entirely in neuration, in body clotliing, in 

 character of legs and palpi. Wings broader, shorter, and utterly 

 dissimilar iu character : primaries with veins 8 and 9 out of 7, 

 stalked ; 10 and 11 closely approximated, stalked at base : secondaries 

 with all the veins separate excepting 7 and 8, which coalesce close 

 to base, separating again before middle of cell ; veins 3 and 7 both 

 emitted from cell before the terminal angles, Antennte with long 

 straggling pectinations (as in Zamacra) to about four-tifths 

 of the distance from their base, terminal fifth serrated ; palpi 

 small, porrected, smooth ; thorax coarsely scaled, but not hairy ; 

 frontal process prominent, subquadrate, with bare ^-shaped 

 ridge running between the antennte to back of head and deep 

 facial depression ; legs smooth ; hind tibiaj with median spurs 

 emitted close behind the terminal pair. Type H. rudicornis.

"Wings above sericeous white ; ]3rimaries irregularly speckled all 

 over with grey and blackish, a mottled subbasal baud angnlated

 the same colours, the blackish parts being costal : secondaries with 

 a few scattered dark grey dots chiefly on the veins, indicating a 

 discal transverse line ; an apical patch and some scattered clustei'S 

 of dots representing an external border. Head and thorax white, 

 the horny shovel-shaped process and forked dorsal ridge on the 

 head deep chestnut ; shaft of antennae dark smoke-grey, white 

 barred with dark grey at base, pectinations pale brownish grey ; 

 thorax white, palagia alternately spotted and transversely barred 

 with black, metathorax similarly marked ; abdomen golden testa- 

 ceous, whitish at tlie sides and at anal extremity, with dorsal dusky

This is the first female I have seen of H. rubrifasciata ; the species 

 would seem to be rare, Mr. Crawshay having only obtained two 

 males during his sojourn in Nyasaland.
