Anterior wings subtriangular, the costal margin somewhat strongly convex, the apex subacute, outer 

 margin oblique, inner margin coucavcly sinuate. Costal uervure extending to about two-thirds the length 

 of costal margin ; first and second subcostal nervules emitted close together at about one-fourth before the 

 end of cell, third emitted close to end of cell, third and fourth bifurcating near apex; upper discoidal 

 nervule emitted at upper end of cell, lower a little above middle end of cell ; upper disco-cellular 

 nervule oblique and slightly concave, lower disco-cellular concave, obliquely bent outwardly at its 

 lower half; upper median nervule moderately convex and emitted at end of cell, second rather nearer 

 first than third, which is emitted a little beyond middle of cell ; submediau nervure strongly recurved ; 

 cell long and broad, extending a little beyond middle of wing. Posterior wings broadly obovate ; 

 costal margin arched at base and then nearly straight, being very slightly oblique; outer margin 

 convex and moderately waved, abdominal margin oblique. Costal nervure convex and extending 

 to near apex, precostal nervure prominent, and curved and directed outwardly; first subcostal nervule 

 emitted a little beyond middle of cell, second at about end of cell; disco-cellular nervules long and 

 oblique, lower about one-third longer than upper; cell long and extending to about two-thirds the 

 length of wing ; upper median nervule slightly convex and emitted from end of cell, second much nearer 

 first than third, which is emitted beyond middle of cell; submediau nervure nearly straight, internal 

 nervure slightly recurved. Body long and robust ; prouotum clothed with long hairs ; head pilose and 

 tufted anteriorly ; palpi clothed with long and stiff hairs beneath, the apical joint minute ; legs long and 

 slender ; anteuuffi long and gradually thickened into an ill-defined and truncated apical club. 



Hcbomoia is a genus of moderate extent, is found in Continental India, Ceylon, tlie 

 Andaman Islands, and the Malay Peninsula, and is distributed more or less throughout the 

 Malayan Archipelago. Considerable variation ensues in the amount of sexual difference 

 among the species. Thus in H. glaucippe (a species found in this fauna) the female more or 

 less resembles the male, with additional dark markings, but in H. borueensis and H. celcbcnsis 

 (species whose habitats are denoted by their names) the females are altogether without the red 

 subapical markings to the anterior wings,
