BUTTERFLIES FROM THE IXDO-MALAYAN REGION. 389 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings dark shining brown. 

 Cilia ochreous, black at the tips of the veins. Forewing with five 

 semi-transparent lustrous yellowish spots ; two small quadrate equal- 

 sized closely-adjacent subapical spots ; a large spot towards the end 

 of the discoidal cell, constricted in the middle, its anterior portion 

 smaller than its posterior portion ; a spot in the second median in- 

 terspace equal in size to the subapical spots ; a larger spot in the 

 first median interspace. Hindwiny unmarked. Underside, forewing 

 fuscous, the costa somewhat narrowly, and the apex reddish-ochreous ; 

 the spots as above. Hindwing reddish-ochreous throughout ; a pro- 

 minent pale yellow small rounded spot below the first subcostal 

 nervule ; some very indistinct streaks darker than the ground-colour 

 on the disc between the veins. Antennae black, the tip of the club 

 reddish, the upper portion of the shaft below ochreous. Body con- 

 colorous with the wings. 



This species is perhaps nearest to II. kumara, mihi (Journ. A. S. B., 

 vol. liv, pt. 2. p. 121, pi. ii, fig. 10, male (1885) ), from Sikkim and 

 Bhutan, with which it agrees exactly in the character of the oblique 

 inconspicuous "male-mark " on the upperside of the forewing across 

 the submedian interspace ; differing, however, from that species 

 in the much larger size of the spot in the discoidal cell of the fore- 

 wing, across which the spot in question entirely extends instead of 

 being reduced to a small spot touching the subcostal nervure. 

 There are considerable differences on the underside also, the presence 

 in the hindwing of H. hyrie of a prominent subcostal sj)ot being 

 particularly noticeable. 



Described from a single male taken by Mr. W. Doherty in the 

 Nao-a Hills at 5,000 — 6,000 feet elevation in August — September, 

 1889, kindly given to me by Mr. H. J. Elwes, who possesses other 

 specimens fiom the same locality.
