of the examples and could find no difference at all from the Indo-Australian, unless perhaps the wings were 
a trifle narrower. Prol^ably introduced. 
Ch. cryptolopha Prout. Expanse 15 mm. Stumpier winged than grisea, but with the apex of the fore¬ 
wing fairly sharp, the distal margin curved, with faint suggestion of a sinuosity anteriorly, hindwing A\'ith 
shallow concavity nearly as in grisea. Drab, ]3ale with darker irroration and markings, in places tinged with 
yellowish browm. Markings not very strong, similar to those of grisea. Distinguished by the underside of the 
hindwing, which is pale, with a large tuft of brown hair in and behind the posterior part of the cell and a much 
smaller patch of erect hair from the costal vein more proximally. Kilimand jaro at 800 m, only the ^ type known. 
Ch. catoglypta Prout (12 a). A much larger, pale greenish species, startlingly distinct on the under¬ 
side. In addition to the strongly angled ])ostmedian line (a slight exaggeration of that of the European 
rectangulata L.), this shows on each wing a row of black spots (not mere dots) from apex to 3rd radial, sepa¬ 
rated by clear white streaks midway between the veins. Sao Thome, not rare. 
Ch. desiderata Prout (12 a). Nearly as large as catoglypta, brighter green, wdth less excurved post- 
median line, some characteristic red markings and a conspicuous yellow-green longitudinal mark in cellule 3 
of each wing near the margin. Underside grey, tlie dark markings suggestive of those of rectayigulata L., the 
pale streaks in cellule 3 shown in dirty white. Sao Thome. — atisterula /orm. ( ? S'p.) nov. evidently represents 
desiderata on Principe. The smaller size (21 or 22 mm) brought about chiefly by the shortening of the costa 
of the forewing, the termen being conspicuously more rounded; colouring somewhat less bright, the charac¬ 
teristic pale snbterniinal mark very weak above, entirely wanting beneath. C)nly known from 2 imperfect 
collected by W. H. T. Tams. I find, too late for revision, that desiderata is a Gymnoscelis. 
Ch. flaviornata sp. n. (12 a). Head cream-buff. Palpus about 1 ( 2 , Isf and 2ml joint each with a black 
s^iot on outerside. Collar more orange. Thorax and abdomen above variegated. Eorewing grey, with a decided 
tinge of deep plumbeo\is; cell-mark moderately elongate; characteristic bisected pale yellowish bands, largely 
siiffused with grey, bound the median area, which bears, especially in its central part, pale rippled lines; the 
whitish-grey, deeply dentate subterminal line mixed in cellule 3 with yellow and accom])anied distally by a 
yellow' terminal spot; termen and base of fringe with yellowish dots at veins. Hindwdng similar, the median 
rip])led lines suggesting a pale bisected band. Underside rather paler, the markings more blurred, both wings 
more suffused wdth ochraceous-buff at base. Marungu Plateau, S. W. of Lake Tanganyika, 7000 feet, Fe¬ 
bruary 1922 (T. A. Barxs), the type G only. 
Ch. protrusata Wan. (12 a). Characterized by the strongly arched costa (which shows a transition 
tow'ards the following group) combined with highly siiuious hindwing termen and postmedian; Txnderside very 
strongly glossy, w'eakly marked, especially the forewdng. Palpus longish-moderate; antenna scarcely ciliated. 
Founded on a series from the Kikuyu Escarpment. 
Ch. sierraria Swinh. (= insignifica B.-Bak.) (12 a). Another GymnosceUs-\ike species, the forewing 
fairly broad, its costa swollen and slightly tufted near the base; the GG even smaller than the $ as here 
figured. Hindwdng as irregular as in protrusata. This and the extreme projections of the postmedian line w ill 
distingxxish it from the grisea gronp. Sierra Leone to Angola. 
Ch. lita Prout (12 a). Rather variable in size and in the degree of darkening of the median area of the 
forewdng, w hich oftener than not suggests a pretty definite browui band. The $$ in this and most of the follow'- 
ing species are very similar, the GG separable chiefly by the costal specialisations of the forewdng. In lita 
o, as in the entire group, the forecoxa bears a strong hair-tuft; but the costa of the forewdng is almost simple. 
Natal (the type series from Estcourt) and Cape Colony. 
Ch. derasata BasteW. (= ? lita Janse, part., nec Prout) (12 a). A small species, easily differentiable 
in the from lita by the strongly .shouldered costal margin of the forewing. The type, a ^ from Loucoube, 
Madagascar, is unfortunately rulxbed, but our figure of it wdll give the shape, the course of the postmedian 
markings and other essentials. We figure also a good $ from Diego Suarez. —• chlamydata J. Joan. (12 b) is 
certainly close to derasata, probably synonymons, but I have only seen from Mauritixis (the type locality) 
3 9 $ and the figxire and description of the (J suggest that it may have the costa of the forewdng still more strongly 
shouldered proximally, thence very straight to the apex. Somewhat larger than normal derasata, expanding 
about 17 mm (Warren, MS., on one of the types; by an evident mistake, Joannis wTote “9 mm"). Forms 
of the collective s]xecies from continental East Africa (Natal to Rhodesia, ])erhaps to Uganda and Kenya) are 
also larger than the Madagascar race, but I will not give them a separate name until I have studied more 
material from Mauritius. Even in Angola, nearly the same form occurs as in Rhodesia. A small 9 from Bourbon 
(Reunion) in the British Museum should perhaps be chlamydata rather than derasata. 
Ch. consobrina Warr. (12 b). Wings in the ^ short and broad, the costal margin of the forewdng straightish 
in the proximal part, about the middle becoming swollen and prominent, the end of the contorted part bearing
