graph of Thunberg’s type, in which I immediately recognized — what ought, indeed, to have been recognized 
from the careful description given by Lampa half a century ago — that it belonged to the present species and 
not, as had been conjectured, to smaragdaria. The wing-shape is decisive and further confirmation is offered 
by the small palpus, snow-white fillet between the antennae and stalking of veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing. Un¬ 
fortunately immaculata is the oldest name for the species and not preoccupied. The absence of the white lines 
can scarcely be due to its imperfect condition, as the green colour is retained. Thus it would seem to represent 
an extremely rare aberration, parallel to smaragdaria ab. alinea. Type from Upsala. — ab. chrysoprasaria Esp. chrysopra-

a few localities in the Great Atlas. 
p. 20, after H. malachitaria : 
H. stathima sp. n. (17 b). Expanse 26 mm. Face light-brown above, lower half white. Palpus slender, stathima. 
moderate (somewhat damaged), 3rd joint well developed. Tongue well developed. Forewing with 1st sub¬ 
costal from near the end of the cell, 2nd to 5th long-stalked, 1st median connate with 3rd radial; a little faded, 
probably coloured about as in malachitaria: a white mark on 3rd discocellular, containing a few red-brown 
scales; lines white, antemedian very slightly curved, postmedian feeble at first, posteriorly broad and straight; 
traces of a fine, interrupted red-brown terminal line. Hindwing bluntly angled at the 3rd radial; markings 
as on forewing, the postmedian somewhat curved. Underside similar or little paler; no trace of terminal line.

p. 20, after Hemistola: 
33a. Genus; Eecliloropsis gen. nov. 
Palpus shortish-moderate, 2nd joint heavily scaled, 3nd joint small (3). Tongue well developed. Antenna 
in $ pectinate, apical 1 / 5 or less non-pectinate. Hindtibia not dilated, all spurs present. Abdomen not crested. 
Frenulum wanting. Forewing with cell about %, 1st subcostal from near end of cell, anastomosing slightly 
with costal and well with 2nd subcostal, 1st median just separate. Hindwing with termen bluntly bent at 
1st radial and rather less bluntly at 3rd; costal vein very shortly approximated to cell near base, 2nd subcostal 
stalked, 1st median about connate. Genotype: xenophyes sp. n. Agrees in most characters with Hemistola; in 
shape nearer to Dyschloropsis, from which it differs in the well developed tongue and the presence of proximal 
spurs on the hindtibia. 
E. xenophyes sp. n. (17 c). Face dull reddish brown. Vertex and antennal shaft cream-whitish. Fore- xenophyes. 
wing olive-green, costal edge narrowly cream-buff; cell-dot black; postmedian line indicated by small white 
vein-dots; terminal line blackish, interrupted by small whitish dots at the veins; fringe with rather strong dark 
dots opposite the veins. Hindwing whitish proximally; a thick white postmedian line, well defined clistally, 
the wing beyond being concolorous with forewing. Forewing beneath olive-green anteriorly, greyer posteriorly, 
hindwing continuing whitish to termen. Szechuan: Wushi, 12 000 feet or upward, 21 May 1929 (H. Stevens), 
2 <$<$; type in the Tring Museum. This is evidently the “gen. et sp. indet.” of Sterneck (Iris, Vol. 41, p. 31) or 
a close relative; the palpus may be less long and there are some deviations in the account of the colouring.

his recent work on the Lepidoptera of the Great Atlas. 
p. 22, to Xenochlorodes: 
X. graminaria Koll. (18 h). This species (described on p. 17 as HierocEhonia ?) certainly belongs rather graminaria. 
to Xenochlorodes , although the 1st subcostal of the forewing arises from the cell and both wings are narrowed. 
Palpus minute. Frenulum wanting. ES agreeing in every detail with my notes on the type, except that the 
face is largely red-brown, have been taken by Mr. F. H. Brandt in S. Persia. Larger and narrower than petitaria 
Christ., which may possibly be its $, although I now doubt it. In any case the latter is probably also a Xeno¬ 
chlorodes.
