Do 31. c a t a r a c f a e : 
rhusiodocha Prout is probably a distingRishable race; greener than tlie name-type, forewing witli the rlmPio- 
2nd subcostal stalked (in cataraciae type connate), both wings with complete, though unequal, series of r e d 
spots outside the postmedian, underside in the ^ weakly marked. Kenya: the type and 2 $$ from Kibwezi, 
1 $ from Makindu, S. of Nairobi; all are in the Tring Museum. From Tsumebi (S. W. Africa) comes more 
typical cafaracfae. 
To p. 12, after X. d y s c h I o r a t a : 
X. roseimargo Janse. Janse has separated the Rhodesian (Salisbury) Xenochroim from dyschlo- roiHp'inifiri/n. 
rata and, although he did not know the latter, I find that he is qiiite correct in this. The forewing in true 
dysclilorata (only definitely known from a Mfongosi ^ in very poor condition) has tlie termen appreciably bent 
at the 3rd radial, while in the present species this is not at all the case (cj) or quite unnoticealy ($); the hind¬ 
wing in both sexes of roseimargo is shaped as in flanimargo (2 b), with a slight bend at the 1st radial, while that 
of dyscMorata is more fully convex, with no bend at the 1st radial. The upper lobe of the valve lacks the 
"‘curved claw” which is developed in both candid,ata and dysclilorata. The type of roseimargo is a weakly marked 
example, with the irroration and lines grey, the latter weak (on the hindwing scarcely discernible) only the 
costal margin rosy, the fringes not described (perhaps defective). The species is variable in colour and in the 
strength of the markings. — ab. roseilinea nov. (2 b, as dysclilorata) has the irroration, strong or moderately roseUinra. 
strong lines and tips of the fringes much more pink; the line of the hindwing provides a further distinction, 
in that it always runs straight across the wing, while in dysclilorata it is bent about the 1st median. Besides 
the Salisbury examples I know only a fine $ from Zomba. 
X. palimpai's Prout. Considerably smaller and combining nearly the shape of candidata with nearly palimpms. 
the coloration of dysclilorata. Only the type known, a $ from Gadau, Northern Nigeria. 
After V. t r i p la g a : 
V. argopastea sp. n. (15 b) has about the size of sematoperas, the shape of triplaga, the violet-grey borders argopastea. 
continuous, only a little constricted in the middle, that of the hinclwing narrow; cell-spots, costal border of 
forewing and abdominal of hindwing, a line though fringe and weak grey lines (one only on hindwing) sprinkled 
with silvery scales. Tanganyika Territory: Morogoro, 16 January 1910 (S. G. Reuss), type $ in Zool. Mus. 
Berlin. 
V. compsa Prout. $, 42 inm. Near immunijica (2 c). Pectinations rudimentary. Crests rather strongly rompsa. 
dark, with some metallic admixture. Wings rather less bluish green than in immunijica; cell-marks somewhat 
enlarged;, postmedian dots enlarged, rather strongly accompanied distally with white; terminal line broken 
into spots or dots, strongest posteriorly; forewing with a large dark spot at tornus, almost reaching the 1st 
median. Bn]a, Belgian Congo, only the type known. 
V.rhodoblenimasp. n. (15 b). Very near immunijica and harloivi; hindwing with abdominal margin relatively rJwdohtem- 
a little longer, concavity between the radials (and tooth at 1st radial) slighter; rosy costa, cell-spots and fringes 
less mixed with blackish than in immunijica, the cell-spots smaller; whitish lines better expressed than in the 
allies, almost continuous, with no dark dots, the fuscous terminal line slight, but not noticeably interrupted 
by pale or white dots at the veins. Vertex rosy, mixed with black, as in immunijica; abdominal crests blackish 
Riscous, little mixed with reddish. Zomha (H. Barlow), the unique ty])e (a in tlie British Muserim. 
To p. 13, after A. engenes: 
A.hemistrigata il/of>. (18 a). I have now seen a specimen and am able to figure it; its affinities are as I as- hemistriga- 
sumed. Palpus minute. Tongue vestigial, or possibly wanting. 1st abdominal crest developed. Very like 
a diminutive engenes (which may possibly have to sink), perhaps slightly narrower, apical patches slightly 
broader, that of the forewing more suffused (excejjt the white proximal border), that of thehindAving with the 
AA'hite proximal patch rather more rotund. Madagascar, the type from Antongil. 
To p. 14, after A. z o n a t a : 
A. (■?) epicydra sp.n. (5e). Palpus minute. Tongue wanting (?). Face reddish broAA’n; veiTex Avhite. epicydra. 
Crests large, glossy, AA'ith projecting hairs above. Hindtibia \Adth the proximal spin’s apparently atrophied. 
Forewing with the 1st median vein very shortly stalked; pale green, somew’hat hyaline, the pattern entirely 
unlike that of any species heretofore knowm, the coloration slightly recalling that of Peratopliyga xantliyala 
(Hmps., 1896), the crests more as in some South American Oospila (Vol. 8, p. 55—59). Underside AA'hitish, 
the foreAving Avith a blackish srdAterminal spot betAveen the radials, a smaller one in front of it and a third at 
hindmargin, as on the upperside; reminiscent of Hyaloclilora (Vol. 8, p. 50). S. Cameroons: Lolodorf (Konrad 
S. G. Erich), type a A Zool. Mus. Berlin. Probably a specialised development of A.rliiclilora.
