THEATEOCOPXA Wals. 
Having obtained an example of the typical species roseoviridis 
Wals. for study, I find that the genus, which on the faith of the 
characters given by Lord Walsingham and Hr. Durrant I had 
merged in Cryptolechia, is really distinct, as veins 7 and 8 of hind- 
wings are connected by an oblique bar (not noticed by them), and 
is therefore nearly allied to Ccdliphrcictis, Epiphractis, and Orygo- 
cera, an interesting African group, all showing this same structure ; 
it differs from Epiphractis by the stalking of 2 and 3 of forewings, 
from Calliphractis by the absence of thoracic crest, from Orygocera 
by the presence of vein 11 in <y . 
Orygocera propycnota, n. sp. 
8 . 20 mm. Head white, sides of face dull crimson. Palpi dull 
crimson, tip white. Thorax white, posterior margin suffused dull 
crimson. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex 
obtuse, termen straight, scarcely oblique; shining violet-white ; 
costal suffused pale reddish-ochreous, costal edge white, a fringe 
of dense whitish hairs from costa covering costal fourth of wing 
from base to |; a dark reddish-fuscous streak along basal fourth of 
dorsum, suffused white and ferruginous beneath; a very oblique 
dark crimson streak crossing white area about middle of wing, 
continued along dorsum to tornus, and from middle of posterior 
edge sending a curved streak which meets dorsal portion at tornus, 
these markings partly suffused ferruginous : cilia white, outer 
half tinged rosy and ferruginous, with two median lines of dark 
purplish points, on tornus a dark crimson bar. Hindwings 
whitish, tinged ochreous towards apex ; cilia ochreous-whitish.
