or dark fuscous suffusion above and before middle of disc; some- 

 times a short blackish streak alonj? upper part of termen : cilia 

 reddish-ochreous-fuscous. Hindwings ochreous-orange ; cilia 

 ochreoiis-yellovvish tinged with reddish-fuscous. 



Q.SOnim. Forewings formed as in H. mermerodes c^; light 

 ochreous-brown, with scattered dark fuscous strigulse. Hind, 

 wings oclireous-yellow; cilia grey-whitish, greyer towards base. 



N.G.: Fakfak, 8t. Aignan 1.(3 males), Woodlark 1.(1 female) 

 (Meek); in November and April. Also from the Philippines. 

 The female specimen is conjecturedly referred to this species on 

 account of the yellow hindwings; but it might be a variety of 

 H. mermerodes; the sext-s in this genus differ so much that it is 

 difficult to be sure of their identity unless taken together.
