CHLOROCLY8TIS. By L. B. Brout. 
ivenicu. E. irenica sp.n. (II li). 24 — 26 mm. Face-cone sliglit. Palpus scarcely li^,. Antenna in ^ lamellate 
ami well ciliated. Abdomen al)ove in places with rather bright brown clouding, the crest very slight; beneath 
very pale. \\ ing-shape recalling that of the Palaearctic rosmarinaia Mill. (Vol. 4, pi. 13 o) except in the slightly 
more rounded costa of the forewing. Forewing with cell-dot very small, but slightly elongate; costal margin 
weakly spotted with brown; lines very weak and uncertain, in places marked with fuscous, outbent near costa 
and about fold, oblicpie inward behind 2nd submedian; subterminal fine and weak; fringe weakly dark-spotted. 
Hindwing with abdominal area at least as dark as forewing and well marked, distal area not quite as dark, 
the rest pale. Both wings beneath pale, with strong cell-dots and more or less strong outer markings. Cape

injeciarkt. E. isifectaria Gum. The largest South African Eupilhecia and further distinguishable by the very long 
fascicles of cilia of the^J antenna and the Collix-Vike raised black scales of the cell-si)ot of the forewing, on which 
characters Guenee foimded a sejjarate genus Lepiodes. As the discocelhdars of the hindwing are more or less 
biangulate, it is possibly a veritable transition towards Eccymatoge, which differs in the doidile areole, den tate

(11 h) is still larger (35 mm), with the angulation of the discocellulars of the hindwing extremely slight and 
its 2nd radial arising nearer to the 1st than to the 3rd instead of central, l)ut otherwise differs so little that it 
may best be regarded as a sid)species. Kikiiyu Escarpment. 
sudiilis. E. sodalis sp. n. was by oversight omitted from p. 101, next to dilucida. Variable, but —■ so far as has 
yet been ascertained — only distinguishable from some small forms of dilucida (G 17—18 mm, $ 20) by its 
relatively shorter wings, jjarticularly manifest in the (J. Structixre nearly the same, palpus perhaps scarcely so 
long. The G type has the head rather paler than in the others and scarcely shows the whitish abdominal band 
which is developed in them. Fernando Po (W. H. T. Tams), 2 1 $• 
23. Genus: Chloroclystis Hbn. 
Probalxly derived from Eupithecia but very distinct in that the 1st subcostal of the forewing runs into 
the costal, or at the least anastomoses strongly with it, a very excejxtional character in the Larentiinae. Areole 
always simple. Distributed almost everywhere in the Old World (see Vol. 4, p. 298). Of aboxit 180 species 
yet described, about 20 are Aethio])ian, to which 9 are here added; an endemic group with specialised costal 
margin in the accounts for a good proportion. 
vidaUicahi. Ch. iTietallicata Fletch. Length of a forewing not qxnte 6 mm. Palpus longish-moderate. ^ antennal 
ciliation minute. In shape and markings very like a diminutive nigella (11 h), ])ossibly a race of the same. 
The metallic scales jxerhaps even more copious. The amount of reddish admixture in the colouring seems rather 
variable. Seychelles. 
n'Kjdla. Ch. nigella J. Joan. (11 h). Apart from the markings brought out in our figure, characterized by a 
s])rinkling of metallic scales which it has not been found possible to reprodxice. Underside grey, with the post¬ 
median line blackish, esixecially on the forewing. Palpus and antenna aliout as in melallicata. Altogether so 
closely similar to inexplicata Walk., a little-known Ghloroclystis from Borneo, and even scinlillala Prout 
from Fiji, that one suspects it to be an insect of commerce. It not, an ancient form and much overlooked. 
iMauritixis. 
lud'dia. Ch. laetitia sp.n. (llh). ^ unknown, bxit ])robably without special modifications of the forewing. 
Face-cone developed; ])alpus heavily scaled, nearly 1 jo times as long as diameter of eye, dark-marked chiefly 
on outerside. The light-brown abdomen with a broad fuscoxis dorsal belt on the middle segments. Wings rather 
short and broad. Forewing with basal area light brown, very feebly marked excejxt costally; the broad median 
area infuscated, though not uniformly, its sinuous white distal boundary line bent inward costally and at fold; 
outer area dark-mixed costally and terminally, the sxdxterminal line narrowly connected Avith margin in front 
of the 1st median. Hindwing predominantly dark, but with simious, doulxle, pale postmedian and a conspi¬ 
cuously paler terminal area behind the 3rd radial, somewhat variegated, quite white in front of 1st median. 
Underside glossy drab-grey, with ill-defined whitish ])ostmedian and sidxterminal bands, commencing on fore¬ 
wing in white costal s]iots. 8ao Thome, November 1932 (W. H. T. Tams), 6 $$ in the British Museum. 
ij risen. Ch. grisea Warr. (Hi). A small and inconsjiicuous species, Ixroader-winged than nigella, much less 
well characterized than either of the three preceding, ajxparently representing the recensitaria, [ Walk.) group 
of the Indo-Australian Region. Hindwing with the margin less irregxdar than in most of them, yet with a quite 
noticeable sinus between the radials; colour somewhat browner than in most. Underside glossy, both vings 
with the postmedian and a pale band outside it distinct, other markings shadowy. Palpus moderate, nearly 
as in the Euroixean rectanejulata L., antenna scarcely ciliated. Coastal regions of East Africa, described from
