inwardly and obtaining on the cell between the two blotches. A third yellow- 
ish-white spot on the cell nearer the base of the wing, at about basal fourth. 
Hind wings with the spots much smaller than in H. suetus, the upper one 
notably reduced. A third spot nearer the base of the wing. [This accessory 
spot may be wanting in other specimens, since it is distinct on one wing, 
and I can find no trace of it on the opposite side, while my specimen is in 
perfect condition.] Beneath, much as in H. suetus, but the costal edge is 
black, and on either pair the black color predominates; the inner white 
spot of the primaries is very distinct; on the hind wings is a trace of a 
subterminal line continued above the abbreviated marginal band.

4 .—Resembles the preceding two species, but the white bands and spots 
of the primaries are here wanting, and the normal two median lines are 
perceivable as paler flexuous lines, the transverse anterior arcuate, the 
transverse posterior subsinuous. The wing wants all purple tints and is 
dull sericeous olivaceous, the basal and subterminal spaces darker. Paler 
shades on the median space indicate the discal spots. Fringes darker-shaded 
at base. Hind wings black, with two small sub-equal yellowish spots situa- 
ted rather nearer the base of the wing than usual, Fringes whitish. Be- 
neath, much as in H. persimilis.
