hack, and a short yellow lateral mark on patagia. Abdomen dark fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen 

 rather oblique, sinuate beneath apex ; 7 and 8 separate ; orange-fulvous ; a 

 blackish basal patch, its outer edge sharply angulated above middle, and 

 n]ar<Tined on upper portion by a violet black edged streak becoming yellow- 

 on costa, on lower portion by broad yellow streak attenuated at apex and 

 strongly black-edged posteriorly ; within this patch arc a curved yellow streak 

 from base of costa to disc and thence to near posterior edge above angle and a 

 short yellow mark from costa near base ; two oblique violet black-edged streaks 

 starting from white marks on costa before and beyond middle, and connected 

 bv three irregularly anastomosing black streaks with dorsum beyond middle ; 

 a violet black-edged streak rising from a white dot on costa at ^, and curved 

 round to meet an oblique white mark from costa near apex ; a violet-golden- 

 metallic transverse streak from dorsum before tornus reaching half across wing 

 .ind another along lower half of termen, former nearly followed by a fine black 

 line, latter preceded by four small black spots and surmounted by another : a 

 white terminal dot beneath apex : cilia dark coppery-metallic, above apex white 

 with a black basal hue, and with a white spot on subapical dot, Hindwings 

 blackish-grey, sometimes paler and slightly bronzy-tinged in middle of disc ; 

 cilia pale gvey, with a blackish basal line. 



Khasis, in May and from August to October : seven specimens. Nearly 

 allied to H. africana. Wals from Central Africa. 



Gli/phipteryx asterias, Meyr. 



(Anlicrafes asterias, Meyr. Journal Bombay X. H. 8oc., XYIII, 154.) 



Having obtained additional material, I find this to be a true Glypldiiteryx 

 having the typical palpi (which were in bad condition in the type), with four 

 oblique white rings : it is however a very distinct form of the genus,

 Palpi black lined with white, terminal joint much longer than second. Abdo-

 at ^, short, second at ^, oblique, reaching half across wing, third rather curved, 

 running to dorsum near tornus, fourth and fifth short, sixth violet-tinged 

 running to subapical indentation ; a violet-metallic sometimes interrupted line 

 almost on termen from beneath this to near tornus, and a dot at tornus : cilia 

 bronzy- whitish with a blackish median line, interrupted with white on sub-
