B. excavata Warr. (3 a) One of the smallest species. Both wings with the prominence at the 3rcl radial 
elongate. Forewing rather narrow, the green area mnch duller than in the previous group, more olive and 
quite differently disposed, being costal, broadening to the apex. Hindwing with an ill-defined olive-green post¬ 
median band and green apex. Nigeria. Also known from Gold Coast and Ivory Coast, Ashanti and the Cameroons. 
B. subfuscata Warr. (2 g) has more the shape of Heterocrita, and is very distinct in having a white 
area separating the green ground-colour from the border; the latter less dark and less solid than in the marginaia 
group. Range as that of excavata. - subferrata subsp. n. The green ground-colour and brown borders more 
deeply coloured, the latter on the hindwing more mixed with grey and with a much redder spot at anal angle; 
the white area less sinuous, much narrower, only expanding into a band on the anterior half of the hindwdng; 
underside more iron-grey. 8ao Thome, January-February 1926 (T. A. Barns), 3 (^<5 in the Joioey collection. 
B. chloronesis sp. n. (3 b) Face black. Antenna of ^ simple. Shape and coloration nearly as in sxibfuscata, 
]>iit with only a very fine line separating the green ground-colour from the pale, fleshy-browmish border; border 
of forewing containing a green central patch, that of hindwing less sinuous-edged than in subfuscata. Both 
wings beneath maize-yellow with interrupted fuscous subterminal band; forewing (except at hindmargin) darke¬ 
ned as far as the postmedian line. Zululand: Eshowe, the type S iiiy collection. Natal; Impetyeni Forest, 
a larger $ in that of Prof. A. J. T. Janse. 
B. implumis sp. n. Face black. Forewing with distal margin scarcely sinuate, posteriorly strongly 
oblique (compare torniflorata), deeji dull green, slightly less yellowish than in the allies, the border irregular, 
rather less varied with buff-pink and black than in subfuscata and anisotes. Hindwing with the excavation 
moderately deep, the border broadest in its anterior half. Underside paler, the terminal patches at tornus 
of forewing and anterior half of hindwing infuscated. Escarpment W. of Semliki Valley, 20 miles S. W. of Boga, 
Belgian Congo, 3500—4000 feet, Jidy 1924 (T. A. Barns). Type in the Joicey collection. 
B. acoelopa Prout. Antenna of d* intermediate in structure towards that of the follewing species, bearing 
rudimentary pectinations. The excavations in the distal margin are even slighter than in anisotes, the hindwing 
narrower, both wings with the pale border rather broad, its proximal edge less sinuous, the contained dark 
mark on forewing extended (though narrowly and faintly) almost to the costa. S. Nigeria; Ilesha. 
B. anisotes Prout. Antenna of d with short but true pectinations. Face and palpus dull red, not 
black. The lighter coloration of the wings recalls some South American Racheolopha more than the typical 
Bathycolpodes. Underside similar to upper, but paler. Nigeria (type) and Cameroons. 
B. torniflorata Prout (3 a) has the d antenna simple but otherwise seems best associated with anisotes. 
Larger and recognizable at once by the tornal blotch of forewing and the strongly sjiotted fringes. S. 
Cameroons. - ab. biflorata ctb. n. has the blotch of the forewing reproduced in the upperside of the hindwing. 
Founded bn a d from Bitje, Ja River, May 1922, in my collection. 
19. Genus: Cliloroclrepaiia Warr. 
Closely allied to Bathycolpodes, differing chiefly in shape, Except that the forewing is more or less fal¬ 
cate, the distal margin of both wings is smooth. Antenna of the d simple in all the known species. Confined 
to Tropical Africa. 
C. aequisecta Prout. (3 a) Differs from rothi (3 a) in having the pale costal border mottled with green, 
the proximal green area of both wings bounded by a straighter line, the pale distal area (which is about 
4—5 mm broad) very weakly marked. S. Cameroons. 
C. rothi Warr. (3 a) is an unmistakable species, the forewing with pale, the hindwing with reddish 
costal border, both wings with the very broad purple-grey distal border separated from the ground-colour by 
an irregular whitish line; terminal dots rather large, black. $ larger than d. Southern-Nigeria and Cameroons. 
C. angustimargo Warr. has the distal borders much less than half as broad as in rothi. Sierra Leone. 
C. allevata Prout has the distal borders again much narrower (5 mm), separated from the fringe by a 
fine red line; hindwing with the costal margin broadly whitish ochreous. Lbiderside pale green, whereas those of 
rothi and ayigustimargo are predominantly fuscous shaded with pink. Uganda; Entebbe. 
C. cryptochroma Prout differs from the other species in having the forewing green throughout, the hind¬ 
wing green with the exception of a broad salmon-coloured costal area; underside ochreous, with a dark ter¬ 
minal and strong blackish iiToration, the forewing with a black apical spot. N. Kavirondo. sellata Gaede 
(5 a) has a stronger dark dorsal patch in the abdomen and perhaps darker terminal line in the wings above 
and less powdered hindwing beneath. Cameroons; also in my collection from Gold Coast.
