somewhat pale-centred tornal patch; fringe white, irrorated with red, the 
vein-ends with black-mixed spots. Hind wing rather narrow; approxi- 
mated to R^\ yellowish green; costal margin concolorous; abdominal margin 
narrowly and rather irregularly red, the fringe proximally white; cell-dot 
extremely minute; terminal markings corresponding to those of fore wing, 
but the blotches much reduced, the tornal white-centred. 
Underside paler, with the markings indistinctly showing through.

Janse; Catembe, near Lorenzo Marquez (Habenicht), paratype in coll. Trans- 
vaal Museum. 
4. Chlorocoma eucela sp. nov. 
S, 21 mm. Face red (abraded in middle). Palpus short and rather slender 
(not quite i), reddish, narrowly pale beneath. Vertex narrowly white. Occiput 
green. Antennal shaft white, spotted with red; pectinations rather long (5 
or 6), tinged with ochreous. Body above green, at anal end white; beneath 
white. Legs red above and on inner side, white beneath; hind tibia dilated 
with white hair-pencil and white terminal process, reaching to middle of ist 
tarsal joint; hind tarsus abbreviated. 
Fore wing with SC^ anastomosing slightly with C, not stalked, DC^ 
very oblique posteriorly, connate; colour of didita Walk., pale green, 
minutely and evenly irrorated with deeper green, appearing to the naked eye 
almost smooth and uniform; costal margin narrowly ochreous, in places 
(especially near base) with a slight reddish tinge; cell-dot very vaguely indi- 
cated in darker green, entirely without the black scales of didita. Hind wing 
with termen rounded, 5 C^ moderately stalked, DC^ rather strongly oblique, 
very shortly stalked; as fore wing except costally, the costal fringe whitish. 
Underside similar but paler, the costal margin of the fore wing more 
strongly reddened in proximal half. 
Pretoria, 12 October 1917 (A. J. T. Janse). Type in coll. Janse. 
Might easily be passed over for a small Prasinocyma scissaria Feld., but 
the narrower fore wing and the short palpus warrant its being considered pro- 
visionally congeneric with didita, in spite of the dilated hind tibia. It lacks 
the white strigulation of the scissaria group, has the pectinations (especially 
the inner series) longer than in the species named, the face and legs brighter 
red; P. tranquilla Prout {Nov. Zool. xxiv. 428) has the hind tibia undilated, 
the face and legs of a more nondescript colour, the wings rather lighter (less 
irrorate) ; degenevata Prout has them less bluish, more opaque, the termen of 
the fore wing less oblique, the face and legs less bright. 
5. Chlorocoma clopia sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. i). 
cJ, 24 mm. ; $, 28 mm. Close to the preceding, but still more similar super- 
ficially to Pras. scissaria, the wings being a little broader and with very fine 
whitish strigulae. Face red, as in eucela. Palpus more broadly whitish ochreous 
beneath (in $ scarcely longer than in with 3rd joint very small). Antennal 
shaft not red-spotted, the S pectinations paler, perhaps scarcely so long. Legs 
less deep red, the hinder pair almost entirely white. 
Fore wing with C more widely separate from the stalk of SC^~^, SC^ some- 
times (type) free (shortly anastomosing with C in the other two), R^ stalked, 
DC^ inbent anteriorly, sometimes (?) stalked; slightly more bluish green; 
costal edge paler, at base whitish; cell-dot scarcely indicated. Hind 
5 C 2 -pi longer stalked than in eucela (for one-half their length 
connate (type) or stalked; costal fringe tinged with green.
