To nox Holl. Black. Wings with a slight green gloss. Antennae finely irrorated with white. Expanse 
20 mm. Cameroon. 
T. fulvithorax Hmps. Wings uniformly blackish-brown, somewhat hyaline. Antennae black, with 
a leaden gloss. Abdomen above yellowish-brown, beneath blackish-brown. Thorax yellowish-brown. Expanse 
16 to 20 mm. East Africa. — As the species is compared to titaea Drc. which is a Heterogynida, probably also 
fulvithorax belongs to it. Cf. p. 40. 
11. Genus: iloiuophylotis Turner. 
Small, with broad wings. Palpi long. Antennae of <$ long-combed. In the hindwing vein 6 is absent. 
Hind tibiae with 1 pair of spurs. Distributed in the Indo-Australian Region. Type: thyridota Turner. Cf. 
Vol. X, p. 46. 
H. leptis Jord. Body above blue, beneath brown. Antenna before the apex white. Palpi and frons 
yellow. Wings very narrow, violettish-brown. Hindwing with a broad hyaline stripe below the cell almost 
to the distal margin. Expanse 16 mm. Angola. 
H. catori Jord. (2 k). Forewing and body above blackish-green. Hindwing with a very broad hyaline 
spot from the base almost to the distal margin and from the centre of the cell to the hind-margin. The greenish 
black marginal band is broadest at the anal angle. A spot before the apex of the antenna, frons, palpi, abdomen 
beneath except at the beginning and end, yellow. Expanse 16 mm. Sierra Leone. 
12. Genus: Metaiiydes Btlr. 
Antennae of $ pectinate, of $ dentate. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. In the forewing all the veins 
are separate. In the hindwing vein 6 is absent, veins 3 + 4 are forked. Type: contracta Wlcr.

Abdomen blackish-blue, apex yellowish. Sierra Leone. 
M. flavibasis Hnvps. (2 k). Eorewing black, with a bluish-green gloss. At the base orange-yellow,

Abdomen orange, at the beginning and end black. Expanse 15 to 17 mm. Central Africa. 
13. Genus: ClBSfclc‘4myt«Ies Jord. 
Similar to Metanycles. Antenna dentate, at the apex pectinate, palpi small. Hind tibiae with 1 pair 
of spurs. Neuration similar to Metanycles. In the forewing veins 10 and 11 rise nearer at the base. In the 
hindwing veins 5 and 6 are absent. Type: vetulina Jord. 
Ch. vetulina Jord. (2 k). Body above and forewing with a bluish-grey gloss. Hindwing violettish- 
blue with a transparent streak below the cell almost across its whole length. Expanse 18 to 20 mm. Uganda. 
Ch. chloauges Holl. Frons bronze-coloured, rest of body lustrous green. Eorewing blackish-brown 
with lustrous green spots: a strigiform spot at the costal margin, 2 round ones before the apex, and an oblong 
one below the cell. Hindwing hyaline, costal and distal margins broad black, except at vein 2, where it is 
narrow. Margin at vein 3 a little concave. Expanse 24 mm. West Africa. 
Ch. anhyalea limps. Blackish-brown, abdomen with a slight blue gloss. Antenna at the apex white. 
Forewing lustrous lead-coloured grey. Expanse 18 mm. Cameroon. 
Ch. albipalpis Hmps. In the hindwing veins 3 + 5 forked. Blackish-brown; palpus white, at the 
apex yellow. Abdomen beneath dingy white. Eorewing with a lead-coloured gloss. Hindwing blackish-brown, 
below the cell and vein 3 hyaline. Expanse 18 mm. Ivory Coast. 
Ch. (?) chalybeia EM. Palpi, head and tegulae yolk-coloured. The long antenna at the base yolk- 
coloured, otherwise steel-blue. Hind tibiae without spurs. Thorax steel-blue. Abdomen light brown, above

at the base hyaline. Expanse 31 mm. Central Africa. 
14. Genus: &aliiuat*elhi Jord. 
Antennae pectinate. Hind tibiae with 1 pair of spurs. In the forewing veins 7 + 8 and veins 9 + 10 
are forked. In the hindwing all the veins are separate, vein 8 is connected with the cell by a fillet.
