Annals of the Transvaal Museum 
Pretoria North (C. J. Swierstra), 20 January 1917, type ^ in coll. Transvaal i 
Museum; 10 January 1917, allotype $ in coll. L. B. Prout. Zululand: Tugela, 
a (5^ in coll. British Museum. 
Scarcely distinguishable from scissaria except in the shorter palpus; face j 
brighter red; wings slightly bluer green, the strigulation slightly less coarse, j 
hind wing with the abdominal margin a little less elongate, SC^-W- longer 
stalked; the non-stalking of certainly and the wider separation of C from 
SC^~^ probably, less constant as distinctions. Anastomosis of SC^ of fore wing 
with C is rare in scissaria, occurring in less than 20 per cent, of a large number 
examined. 
6. Prosomphax^ deuterurga sp. nov. 
d, 33 mm. Face red. Palpus with 3rd joint slender, reaching just beyond 
frons; ochreous whitish, mixed with red. Vertex green, very narrowly white 
in front. Antennal shaft white, more ochreous distally; pectinations about 
3-4, ochreous. Thorax green, paler beneath. Abdomen anteriorly green above, | , 
otherwise white with slight greenish admixture. Fore leg mostly red. (Middle i 
pair lost.) Hind femur and tibia mixed with red. | 
Fore wing with arising close to the stalk of SC^~R^; green, paler than | 
in callista Warr., the silvery irroration and strigulation smaller and sparser, 
scarcely noticeable; costal edge narrowly tinged with fleshy ochreous; fringe > 
pale green, tipped with whitish. Hind wing with connate or barely stalked ; I 
whitish, becoming tinged with green at termen. i 
Both wings beneath pale green anteriorly, becoming whitish posteriorly. ; 
Natal: Krantzkloof, 28 July 1916 (L. Hargreaves). Type in coll. Janse. 
7. Syndromodes oedocnemis sp. nov. 
(J, $, 26-28 mm. Face nondescript dull reddish (dull red mixed with green). 
Palpus pale, slightly irrorated with red on outer side; 3rd joint distinct, dull ; 
reddish above. Vertex white; occiput narrowly green. Antennal pectinations ^ 
in (J slightly longer than in invenusta Wllgrn. Thorax and abdomen above | 
green, beneath whitish; anal tuft whitish. Fore and middle legs mostly red l 
on upper and inner sides, brightest on fore coxa; hind tibia of ^ swollen J 
almost as in Hemidromodes, all the spurs well developed, the terminal pair r 
less long than the proximal. ^ 
Fore wing with SC^ anastomosing with C (costal end of C in the ^ type 
weak or perhaps obsolete), SC^ long-stalked, arising just before SC^\ bright 
green, as in invenusta, with minute white irroration hardly discernible without 
the lens; costal edge whitish buff; lines fine, whitish, faint anteriorly; ante- 
median from before one-third costa to about one-third hind margin, faint, 
gently curved, slightly indented behind M and behind SM^; postmedian nearly 
parallel with termen, just over 3 mm. therefrom, very slightly incurved behind j 
fringe white, distally less pure, in some lights suggesting a slight tinge of 
pink. Hind wing with C anastomosing to about middle of cell, about , 
connate or slightly stalked; first line wanting; postmedian reaching costa, 
about 4 mm. from termen, curved, very slightly incurved behind fringe U 
as on fore wing. S 
1 Warren was mistaken in diagnosing Prosomphax as having terminal spurs only; ■ 
I have now seen his type species and it has all the spurs of the hind tibia developed, S 
both pairs as usual unequal. The genus scarcely differs from some pectinate Omphax 
except in having the palpus less minute (at least i) and C of hind wing approximated fl 
to about middle of cell; from Chlorocoma it differs in the last-named character, as 
well as in the elongate costa of the hind wing (and superficially in the white colour M 
thereof), the extreme position of R^ of fore wing and other, slight characters. m
