Orange. Head black, ascending, as long as the body, green beneath, 

 with orange streaks on each side by the eyes. Thorax with a broad black 

 stripe. Prothorax with a black baud on each side. Mesothorax with a 

 black streak and three black dots on each side. Anterior tibiae black. 

 Fore wings black, very thickly reticulated with orange, and adorned with 

 six orange bauds ; first and third bands regular; second slightly dislocated 

 hindward, where it is occasionally joined to the third ; fourth consisting of 

 three small widely separate dots ; fifth composed of four or sometimes of 

 five large spots, which are most often cunnectcfl ; sixth very irregular, 

 composed of three, four or five spots and dots of various size. Hind 

 wings with the apical third part black. Length of the body 17 — 21 lines; 

 of the wings 30—36 lines. 



This species belongs to the first division of the genus, and is most 

 allied to H. viridirostris, from which it may be distinguished by lis 

 brighter orange colour, by its longer head, and by its lore wings, where 

 the bands are more regular, and not bordered with white. The first 

 division contains the species where the head is compressed and channelled 

 to the tip; in the second the head is globose and smooth towards the 

 tip.
