braBches are the same, but the transverse black line with grey spot at 

 the end of the cell ia absent, and beyond this there are three longi- 

 tudinal wedge-shaped grey spots, wanting in H. Serpn. The outer 

 borders of both wings are distinctly grey, or rather present a double 

 row of distinct grey lunules. The rufous belts of the hind-wing are 

 not edged with black, although they are nearly the same in position as 

 in H. Serj)a.

cJ ? . 2" 1'". Very closely allied to H. Iphicla, Lin. (Dmry 111. 

 vol. I. pi. 14, f. 3, 4), but smaller, the fore- wing more produced and 

 pointed at the apex, and the dentations of outer border of hind-wing 

 longer and more acute. Colours and design the same, except that the 

 sub-apical orange spot is broader, and is not sinuated on the inner edge 

 behind the lower radial nervure. Beneath : the only differences are 

 the more distinct tracing and the blacker colour of the fine outer 

 marginal line of the wings, which embraces distinct whitish lunules 

 between the dentations; and the constant presence of a slender arcuated 

 rufous line on the inner side of the discoidal rufous streak of the 

 hind-wing.

^ . Expans. 2" 4'". Similar in shape and colours above to H. 

 Iphicla, Lin., but differs in the pale belt being pure white, and ending 

 in a point on the median nervure of fore-wing, and in the sub-apical 

 orange spot being elongate, and extending parallel to the outer border 

 from the costa to the second median branch. Beneath : the colours 

 and markings differ from those of all the allied species. The general 

 colour is pallid ochreo-rufous and grey, with the white belt same as 

 above, but edged with a brown line. The cell of the fore- wing has a 

 thin brown line across the middle of the space between the two double 

 lines, and there is an oblique brown line beyond the end of the cell ; 

 the basal part of the space between the sub-median nervure and the 

 first median branch is crossed by three bi'own lines ; the sub-apical 

 orauge spot is visible beneath, but paler. The cell of the hind-wings 

 is crossed by four fine brown lines, two of which extend to the costal 

 nervure. The outer border of both wings is greyish, and has two rows 

 of faint dusky lunules, the hind-wing also having a sub-marginal and 

 marginal rufous line.
