the margin of both wings are also several whitish lunules ; within 

 the central band, crossing the cells of both wings, is a rufous 

 band edged with black and surrounded with white ; between it 

 and the central band on the lower wing across the cell is a second 

 short band of the same colour. Expansion 2 inches 8 lines.

Heterochroa Cestus. PL XXI. fig. 7. 



Wings light brown with a broad central band of white com- 

 mon to both and extending from the anterior margin of the upper 

 wing to the anal angle of the lower and of nearly equal breadth, 

 curved slightly outwards on the upper wing, rounded at the anal 

 angle of the lower. Between the white band and the tip of the 

 upper wing is an oblong irregular fulvous spot trifid by black ner- 

 vures, the two lower portions the largest and cordate, surrounded 

 by dark brown, which is continued in three equidistant zigzag lines 

 parallel to the posterior margin till they reach the anal angle of 

 the lower wing, where the middle one terminates in two lunular 

 spots, between which is a T-shaped fulvous mark ; the space be- 

 tween the two outermost of these zigzag lines is of the lightest 

 brown, especially on the lower wing, where it is almost white. 

 On the upper wing between the white band and the body are the 

 usual black lines, two of which cross the cell and are prolonged 

 beyond ; the space within them is tinged with red ; on the lower 

 wing four similar lines in pairs cross the cell. 



Underneath much lighter; instead of the trifid fulvous spot 

 are five white spots, two of which are red in the middle, two 

 brown ; the lightest zigzag marginal line is quite white, and be- 

 tween it and the margin is another broken white line ; across the 

 cells of both wings, as in the last species, is a continuous rufous 

 band edged with black and broadly margined with white. Ex- 

 pansion 2 inches 2 lines.

Heterochroa Alala. PL XXI. fig. 8. 

 Wings dark brown with a central narrow band of white inter- 

 sected by black nervules ; common to both, commencing at the 

 third median nervule of the upper wing by a nearly round distinct 

 spot, and extending to the anal angle of the lower, where bending 

 slightly inwards it terminates in a point. On the upper wing 

 between the commencement of the white band and the subcostal 

 nervure are two small oval white spots, and between them and the 

 tip of the wing an oblong fulvous band divided by black nervules 

 into five distinct parts, the anterior small and hastate, the next 

 three larger and cordate, the fifth small and lunular followed by 

 two lunules of light brown sometimes tinged with red. Parallel
