Sir George Hampsou (I.e.) itganls tliis insect iilso as a variety (if. I. hfUcoida 

 (= monijvha Ham])s.): if this be so, it woulil be a very remarkable ease uf variation, 

 as in the mule of xcnalha there is only an extremely faint trace of the lateral 

 impressions and brnsh-like tnfts of fine hairs of the anteuual joints which are 

 invariably strongly marked in all the insects treated in this paper as /icliconia-i'onui>. 

 Tlie harpe resembles that oi' /lelicoma. damta, bnt is decidedly broader; the clasper 

 is also a little broader than in clavata. 



In colour veuolba seems to be pretty constant. The median streak of the 

 forewing is triangular, its onter edge sinuate. The veins in the costal region and 

 the snbmedian nervnre are white ; the breadth of the snbmedian white litu; varies 

 considerably. The border to the outer margin of the hindwing reaches close to the 

 anid angle, and is cut by white veins ; vein 2 is especially broadly white ; besides 

 two black spots iu the cell, there are in two of our three specimens faint indications 

 of two postmedial black spots standing, one beyond vein 2, the other upon vein 5.

26. Asota antennalis sjt. nov. 



S. Up per side: forewing comparatively broader than in both albivcna and 

 (lokerti/i, marked as in .1. albivena, the veins somewhat less heavily white; 

 fringe to hinder margin up to vein 2 consisting of lirowu and white scales ; no 

 white border to hinder margin. Hindwing marked as in ..-l. alb/ve/ia, fringe brown 

 and while; spot at aj)e.\ of cell conspicuous. 



L'nderside.: forewing with a very few white scales behind lower angle of cell. 

 Hindwing yellow at extreme base (like forewing); marginal band and cellular 

 spots as in ulbitemi. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above as iu doherti/i ; no Idack spots on jirotiiorax, 

 and no dot behind centre of mesothorax; abdominal (d(n-sal) spots slightly trans- 

 verse, not band-like; the dorsal segments bear, besides, a row of large black s])ots at 

 the stigmata. Palpi black ; basal half of first joint and under and inner side of second 

 joint ochraceous. Underside of thorax aud abdomen ochraceons; the latter with largo 

 black spots on each side; the ventral spots on segments 4 to 7 merged together, or 

 nearly so, to transverse bands. 



Antennae ofmali; without lateral impressions and tufts of tine hairs, while in 

 both nlbhcnu and doliertj/i the lateral impressions and tufts of line hairs are 

 strongly develojied. Hai'pc nearly as in A. heliconia, asymmetrical at the tip. 



Forewing: length 33 mm.; breadth 15 mm.

A. antennalis, do//erti//, and ulbitena resemble each other suiiorlicially so closely 

 that one can easily mistake one for the other, though on closer examination they are 

 easily euongli distinguishable. The most interesting form of the three is certainly 

 A. antennalis, on account of the different structure of the male antennae (the ? of 

 atitennalii is unknown). AV. R. 



27. Asota dohertyi sji. nov. (PI. IV. fig. 10). 



Comes in colour close to A. nlbirenx Walk., with which it occurs together. It 

 is a larger insect, and can be distinguished as follows : — 



Upperside: forewing with the costal margin quite straight from the base to 

 beyond the middle; veins white, the two lines between the median and subiuedian
