Annals of the Transvaal Museum. 
As var. (?) ruficristata, n. var., I describe a form with two red 
dorsal crests, the white lines sometimes thick, the antemedian often dis- 
tinct, postmedian generally almost straight, hindwing beneath perhaps 
less whitish. Pretoria, 28th November, 1907 (type <^) ; 14th December, 
1912 (cotype (J, in my collection). These measure 22-23 mm. A small <5 
(18 mm.) from Durban, November, 1908 (coll. Janse), and an old Natal & 
(also small) in the British Museum collection are likewise referable here. 
Neromia unilinea Warr., ab. inornate , n. ab. 
In typical unilinea the crests are red, sometimes topped with some 
black scales, especially the posterior one. Transvaal (Barberton, Three 
Sisters, Waterval Onder) should be added to the known localities. Together 
with it (Barberton, Three Sisters, Sarnia [Natal]) occur small specimens 
which I name ab. inornata, in which the crests are green, only with a few 
scattered red or black scales discoverable with the microscope. 
Neromia cohaerens, n. sp. (PL XXV, Fig. 2). 
<J, 23 mm. ; $, 30 mm. Face red. Palpus very short, red above, 
yellowish-white beneath. Tongue rather short and slender. Crown pale 
green, narrowly white between antennae. $ antenna simple, closely 
lamellate ; base of antenna white. Thorax and abdomen pale green 
above, white beneath. Foreleg, and to a less extent middle leg, red on 
upper and inner sides ; hindleg of rather short and strong, but not 
dilated. Forewing pointed, termen very little curved, rather markedly 
oblique, the wing therefore slightly narrower than in rubripunctilla Prout ; 
SC 1 anastomosing shortly with C; costal edge narrowly whitish-yellow; 
the rest uniform delicate pale green (a shade lighter than in Chloeres citro- 
limbaria Guen., otherwise similar), only in one $ with a faint pale post- 
median line at about 3 mm. from termen ; fringe very pale green in 
proximal half, white in distal. Hindwing with apex well rounded ; 
M 1 quite shortly stalked ; like forewing, except costa. Under surface 
rather paler green, costal edge of forewing about as above. 
Pretoria, 2 $£ (A. J. T. Janse), type, 7th December, 1907 ; cotype, 
8th January, 1909, the latter in coll. British Museum. Waterval Onder, 
2 $$, 21st and 26th November, 1910 (A. J. T. Janse), one in coll. L. B. 
Prout. Natal (W. H. Heale), 1 <J, without more exact data, in coll. 
British Museum. 
Lophorrhachia , n. gen. 
Palpus in (J rather short, but with the third joint distinct, relatively 
well developed (in the unknown § therefore probably elongate). Tongue 
well developed. Antenna in $ pectinate with tolerably long branches, 
apical part simple. Pectus slightly hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia 
in (J thickened in its distal third, apparently with only one median spur,^ 
the terminals moderate, the tibial sheath extending slightly beyond them 
along proximal part of tarsus. Thorax smooth. Abdomen with well- 
developed crests. Frenulum in short, in $ no doubt wanting. Fore- 
wiri g broad, apex not acute, termen gently curved, tornus well expressed ; 
* In the unique example both hindlegs are too closely oppressed to the body to allow 
of absolute certainty without injury.
