green, with very narrow white fillet between the antennae; lower part of head 
reddish. Thorax above green, beneath whitish. Abdomen above green at base, 
then pale, red-brown, as far as middle with some blackish irroration; the two 
anterior crests strong, blackish, glossy. Legs white, the fore leg strongly and 
the middle moderately mixed with red; hind tibia dilated, with hair-pencil, 
the sheath projecting slightly over the extreme base of tarsus, the spurs rather 
short, especially the outer of each pair. 
Fore wing with termen more curved posteriorly than in most of the group, 
tornus in consequence less pronounced; SC^ arising well before 5 C®, W- just 
separate, about connate ; dull green, like a Hemithea ; costal edge narrowly 
ochreous; fringe green proximally, paler (more white-greyish) distally. Hind 
wing with termen rather straight from apex to R^, here bluntly angled, at 
still more bluntly (scarcely appreciably) angled, not excised between the 
angles; R^ and R^ both very shortly stalked; dull green; fringe as on fore wing. 
Portuguese East Africa: Magude, October 1918 (C. J. Swierstra). Type 
in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
By the shape, the antenna, and even the palpus, probably more of a 
Pseudhemithea than a Metallochlora, but the hind tibial armature should have 
more weight in the present system of classification. 
2. Andro zeugma (?) mollior sp. nov. 
22-25 mm. Similar to Neromia ruhripunctilla Prout, differing as 
follows. 
Build rather more delicate. Frenulum of c? wanting. Abdomen dorsally 
green, entirely without the whitish ridge. Face slightly more orange. 
Fore wing with costal margin slightly more arched; the irroration finer, 
so that the insect looks almost smooth green to the naked eye; no cell-dot 
the weak whitish lines slightly crenulate, the antemedian rather more oblique, 
in the type rather near the postmedian at hind margin, but individually 
variable. Hind wing with termen more regularly rounded; ground-colour and 
postmedian line correspondingly differentiated; no cell-dot. 
Rhodesia: Umtali (A. J. T. Janse), 5 January 1918, type S in coll. Janse; 
II January 1918, allotype $ in coll. L. B. Prout. 
Differ from typical Andro zeugma in having SC^ of the fore wing arising 
from the cell; C of hind wing scarcely anastomosing in either sex. Palpus in 
both sexes rather shorter than in the type species; the wings of a less trans- 
lucent green. 
3. Neromia rhodomadia sp. nov. 
<3, 24 mm. Face red. Crown broadly white, with a red line behind. Palpus 
about I ; whitish, marked with red on outer side. Tongue developed. Antenna 
lamellate. Thorax above green, beneath white. Abdomen above mixed with 
red (at base with red and black), on sides and beneath white; a subdorsal 
white patch on 2nd somite and white dorsal crests on 2nd~4th. 
Fore wing rather narrow, termen oblique, straightish to M, then more 
oblique, slightly waved; SC^ free, R^ connate or just stalked, DC^ strongly 
oblique posteriorly, separate ; yellowish green ; costal edge narrowly white, 
with a large patch of red and black scales at base and a few red scales beyond ; 
lines obsolete; a minute red cell-dot; terminal red, black-irrorated markings, 
consisting of a slightly interrupted line, which continues round the apex, a 
small, proximally roundish edged mark from R^ to behind R^, enclosing a 
pair of white spots which are divided by a line on and a larger, roundish, 
1 But this is also occasionally obsolete in aberrations of N. ruhripunctilla.
