493, described as an Agraptochlora) is nearer, but that has brown cell-spot 
and fringes and white terminal dots. Most of the group have the face red. 
Prasinocyma inversicaulis, n. sp. 
<J, 30 mm. Face and palpus red, paler below ; palpus short, terminal 
joint very small. Vertex green, very narrowly mixed with white in front. 
Antennal shaft white, becoming pale ochreous distally. Fore and middle 
legs red above and on inner side ; hindtibia without hair-pencil. Thorax 
and abdomen as in chloroprosopa. Wings slightly more bluish than in 
that species, well strigulated with white, form narrower, termen of forewing 
more oblique, hindwing not elbowed, its inner margin rather long. Fore- 
wing with costal edge ochreous, hindwing slightly whitened costally, both 
wings without markings, fringes pale at tips. Underside whitish green. 
Pinetown, Natal, 11th December, 1908 (G. F. Leigh). Type in coll. 
L. B. Prout, presented by the Transvaal Museum, which possesses other 
examples. 
In the forewing, vein SC 1 touches C, M 1 is connate with R 3 ; in the 
hindwings SC 2 is short-stalked with R 1 , M 1 longer-stalked with R 3 . Apart 
from this reversal of the normal proportions of stalking — which may prove 
inconstant — the species differs from vermicularia Guen. in shape, length 
of palpus, simple hindleg, more definitely red face, and slightly darker 
colour. 
Heterocrita deprensa, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 22). 
$, 32 mm. Face red. Palpus rather short, red above and on outer 
side, white beneath. Vertex snow-white, edged posteriorly with red ; 
occiput green. Base of antenna white. Thorax green dorsally. Foreleg 
reddish above ; hindtibia with terminal spurs only. Abdomen dorsally 
violet- white, mixed, especially the first segment, with brown-red ; segments 
2 to 4 with moderate crests. 
Wings bright green. Forewing with costa whitish marked with red, 
and with a small blotch at base mixed with red, violet and blackish scales ; 
discal spot red, moderately large, mixed with violet and blackish scales ; 
postmedian line pale, extremely faint, not dentate, about parallel with 
termen ; terminal line dark, thickest between the veins, accompanied 
proximally by an irregular red line which encloses pale violet marks 
between the veins, those between R 1 and R 2 and at tornus the largest, 
those at apex and between R 3 and M 2 extremely restricted ; fringe white, 
tipped with red, and spotted with red at vein-ends. Hindwing similar, 
without costal markings, but with a red line along abdominal margin from 
near base to postmedian line. Underside paler, almost without markings, 
terminal line and fringe as above, the markings before termen faintly 
traceable, costal margin of forewing more broadly but not deeply red- 
shaded. 
Transvaal (?), without exact locality. Type in Transvaal Museum. 
Very like H. discerpta Walk., for which it might almost have been 
taken for a form, except for the structural differences. Palpus rather 
shorter, termen of forewing more rounded, of hindwing only very feebly 
excised between R 1 and R 3 , forewing with SC 1 well free, SC 2 arising
