IIEBOMOIA. 20 1 



four inches across the wings, which are white or yellow, and 

 more or less reddish or orange towards the tip of the fore-wings, 

 the orange tip, however, being absent in the females of some 

 of the species. They are not very numerous ; the type, H. 

 ghmcippe, Linn., a white "Orange-Tipped" species, being 

 found throughout India, Malacca, South China, Java, &c. 

 The hind-wings are white above, and the under side is yellow- 

 ish-grey, with dusky mottlings, giving it somewhat of the ap- 

 pearance of a dead leaf when at rest. It is an insect of very 

 rapid flight. The female is yellower, with a row of marginal 

 and sub-marginal black spots on the hind-wings. Other species 

 inhabit the Indo-Malayan and several of the Austro-Malayan 

 Islands, as far as the Moluccas and Bouru. 



The body is stout, hairy, and rather short ; the palpi are 

 short, scaly, clothed with long and stiff hairs beneath, and the 

 terminal joint is very small. The antennae are long, not clubbed, 

 as in all the other genera of this group, but only very gradually 

 thickened towards the end. The sub costal nervure of the fore- 

 wings is four-branched, the two first branches being thrown off 

 close together before the cell, while the first almost touches the 

 costal nervure ; the third and fourth form a fork towards the 

 tip of the wing. The cell of the fore-wings is rather broad, and 

 the upper discoidal nervule is thrown off from the cell, the 

 upper disco cellular nervule being distinctly present ; the cell 

 of the hind-wings is narrower and more pointed. 



The larva of H. glaucippe is stout, tapering at both ends. It 

 is green, with a pale red-dotted stripe on the sides, and is 

 shagreencd on the upper surface. It feeds on a species of 

 Capparis in Java and Ceylon. The pupa, which is likewise 

 green, is boat-shaped, like that of Etichloe ; it is much arched, 

 and is produced into a long point at both ends. 



I have figured one of the handsomest species of this genus, 

 \yhich is found in Amboin^i and Cerani,
