The following species are smaller. 
L. dentilinea Wkr. (= attenuatalis Wlcr.) (38 g). Forewing dark brownish green, indistinctly marked. dentilinea. 
Interior line fine, green, strongly notched, obliquely outward. Exterior line dark, edged with green outside, 
outward as far as vein 6, then inward, slightly concave behind the cell. Submarginal line indistinct, brown 
at the margin. Hindwing brown. 26 mm. Borneo. 
L. herbealis Wkr. (38 g). Forewing similarly coloured as dentilinea. Interior line green, just as strongly hcrbeali*. 
notched as in dentilinea , but steeper. Exterior line green, edged dark on both sides, far outward closer below 
the costal margin, otherwise similar to dentilinea. Submarginal line fine, white, with brown spots inside. Hind¬ 
wing greyish brown. 25 mm. Ceylon. 
L. submuscosa Wkr. (= graminalis Wkr.) (38 f). Forewing yellowish green, densely dusted with black, submuscosn. 
Interior line light green, edged dark on both sides, notched, obliquely outward. A black dot at the cross-vein. 
Exterior line edged dark only inside, extra-angular at vein 6, then straight, notched inward. Submarginal line 
indicated by its dark edge inside. Hindwing greyish brown. In the $ the exterior line shows two pointed angles 
at vein 6. 20—25 mm. Ceylon, Tonkin, Java. 
L. semipars Wkr. G laticincta Wkr.) (38 g). Forewing reddish brown, paler in the median area. Interior seminars. 
line vertical, somewhat undulate, black, whitish inside. A black streak at the upper cell-angle. Exterior line 
white outside, oblique as far as vein 7, then vertical, undulate. Submarginal line whitish, with dark spots inside. 
Hindwing greyish brown. — In pamphosalis Wkr. the median area of the forewing is whiter. 24—30 mm. India, : paviphosalis. 
Ceylon, Tonkin. 
L. nebulosa Candeze. Forewing uniformly brown as far as the exterior line, lighter behind it, intermixed nebulosa. 
with dark brown spots. The interior, exterior and submarginal lines feebly marked light. Reniform macula 
dark brown. Hindwing brown, white at the costal margin. 30 mm. Tonkin. 
L. umbrosa Hmps. (38 g). Forewing reddish brown, tinged with olive brown in the median area. Interior umbrosa. 
line double, filled with light, broadly edged with blackish brown inside, vertical, straight. A black streak at 
the cross-vein. A diffuse dark band from the costal margin above the cell-end to the inner margin. Exterior 
line blackish, notched, excurved behind the cell, steeper from vein 3. Submarginal line light, with dark spots 
inside, with a streak behind the cell to the exterior line. Hindwing dark brown. $ 30 mm. Burma. 
40. Genus: ISIeniissi Wkr. 
Palpi erect, differently shaped. Antennae of finely ciliated. Thorax behind with a lying tuft. Fore¬ 
wing broad. Neuration normal. Type: donans Wkr. from India. Most of the species are green on the forewing 
yellowish orange on the hindwing with a dark margin. Two species of the genus penetrate into the Palaearctic 
Region. In the Indo-Australian Region there are considerably more species than in Africa. The species are 
partly variable or very diffusely marked. The hindwing is important for the determination. We have already 
been informed about this variability and the habits in Vol. 3, p. 292, and Vol. 15, p. 188, and there are numerous 
figures on the plate 53 of Vol. 3 and on pi. 18 of Vol. 15. 
1. Palpi of G cut out at the end of the second joint. Distal margin of 
forewing below vein 4 oblique and undulate. Hindwing angled at veins 3 and 2. 
B. chrysochlora Wkr. (38 h). Hindwing yellowish orange with a relatively narrow black marginal band, chrysochlora. 
Forewing of a very bright green, more or less dusted with white, typically with a dark median band. Int erior line 
far towards the middle, double, oblique, undulate. A black streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line also double, 
semicircularly excurved, somewhat inward at vein 3, then outward to the inner margin, undulate. Submarginal 
line diffuse, blackish, with intense white spots outside. 44—48 mm. Described from ceram according to 1 
apparently more common in New Guinea. 
B. chlorophila Hmps. (38 h). Hindwing blackish brown with a narrow orange median band. Mostly chlorophila. 
somewhat smaller than chrysochlora. Almost the same marking on the forewing. Only the submarginal line 
seems to be different, being more spotted in chlorophila , not so notched, more introangular in the submedian 
fold. In chlorophila as well as chrysochlora there occur specimens with a dark median band, and such with a 
diffuse blackish band extending from the base to the middle of the costal margin and bent to the anal angle. 
40—45 mm. Ceylon, Singapore, Borneo. 
2. Palpi of <d more c u t out a t the e n d , the t hire! joint 1 o n g e r t h a n i n 
the 1st group. Forewing without the feeble angle at the distal nr a r g i n , 
hindwing without points at veins 2 a n d 3. 
B. lichenosa Mr. (38 h). Hindwing similar to chlorophila, very variable. Forewing dark green, brown lichenosa. 
and whitish in a variable proportion. A black dot in the middle of the cell and a streak at the cross-vein distinct . 
Interior line excurved at the lower edge of the cell, inward in the submedian fold, far outward to the inner margin. 
Exterior line outward as far as vein 4, introangular in the submedian fold, both lines often indistinct. The black
