upper radial from toj) end of cell; first subcostal at three-fourths, second at seven- 

 eighths, the first anastomosing with the costal and the second; common stem of the 

 other three subcostals rising halfway between second and end ; the subcostal nervure 

 bent inwards at its origin. Hindwings : costal approximated to subcostal for some 

 distance ; two subcostals on a rather long stem; first median at one-half, second just 

 before the end, the median ner\ure Ijeing bent inwards at its origin ; third median 

 from the end ; fold of the cell produced as a false vein, which in one species is curved 

 upwards and joins the lower subcostal, and in the other is curved downwards, and 

 reaches the hindniargin close to the third median. 

 Type : Hi/alostende lutescens Butler (Stenele). 



Hyalostenele oleagina sp. uov. 



Wings pale oily yellow, semidiaphanous. Forewings with the costa rather broadly 

 deep black; apical half smoky black, containing three oblong elliptical transparent 

 blotches beyond the cell, separated only by the two radials, and a series of six white 

 spots lying in a curve that runs parallel to the hindmargin, the top four of which 

 decrease in size from the uppermost one, and the two at the bottom are largest ; base 

 of the inner margin smoky black. Hindwings like forewings, with a broad costal, 

 and a still broader hindmarginal lilack border, the latter containing five white spots. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen black ; inner orbit of eyes and a spot on each side of 

 thorax white: tongue yellow ; legs black. Underside of abdomen j^ellowish ; imder- 

 side of wings like upper. 



Expanse of wings : 60 mm.

The hindwings have no true radial ; the antennae of the ¥ are pectinated, but 

 more shortly than in the J ; the costal and first subcostal of forewings are united 

 from the base.

Cramer's figure of Phal. siratunlce exactly depicts the species called Vithora 



agmonides by Butler, except that the antennae (of the cJ) are represented as 



pectinated ; and that this was not a mistake of the artist is proved by the text, where 



Cramer expressly calls them, " jilumacees." But there can be little doubt that the 



antennae affixed to the specimen figured were artificial. In the Kelder collection 



there are several old specimens — some of them marked as {'ramer's — in which a 



plumelet of a bird's feather has been attached to do duty for the lost antenna. If 



the plate in question is examined carefully the resemblance of the antennae of 



stratonice, as tliere depicted, to such a plumelet, is apparent at once. The antennae 



are really club-shaped, and blunt at the apex, without any pubescence ; in UaUhia, 



though swollen towards the apex, they end in a point, and the shaft is visibly 



pubescent.
