as follows: A dark brown marginal line along exterior margin; an ir- 

 regular transverse line from near apex to interior margin, outwardly 

 toothed at intersection of nerves; at costa, this line starts with an ir- 

 regular, square, dark brown spot. The space between this line and 

 exterior margin is yellowish grey, having a dark brown marginal 

 maculation at centre of exterior margin and a more prominent, nearly 

 triangular, dark brown blotch at inner angle. Through the centre of 

 the space an irregular, transverse row of light brown dots. A second 

 transverse line curvmg around base, starting with a dark brown blotch 

 at costa and terminating with dark brown maculations at interior 

 margin. 



The interspace between the anterior and inner, basal transverse 

 lines filled up with vivid light brown and having a large brown dash, 

 pointing inwardly and resting on submedian nervure. A large, irre- 

 gular square discal dot, surrounded inwardly by a prominent dark 

 brown blotch, fringes yellowish grey, toothed with dark brown. 



Secondaries uniform black, fading somewhat into greyish black 

 toward base, fringes light brown. 



Beneath, primaries dark brown fading into light brown at base and 

 along interior margin. Indications of the anterior transverse line. 



Secondaries light brown with a dark brown marginal band and a 

 small, but distinct dark brown discal dot.

Type S . coll. B. Neumoegen. 



In appearance ranking near to H. Bridghamii, G. & R. 



Hadena Smaragdwa, n. sp. 



Antennae light brown. Head and thorax grey black. Abdomen 

 and legs grey, with a blackish shade. 



Primaries of a beautiful smaragd green, especially at base, along 

 costa and exterior margin and at inner angle. Maculations, dark 

 black, surrounded by brownish shades, giving the green wings much 

 the appearance of being checkered with black, irregular square spots. 

 Three transverse lines. The most anterior from apex to inner angle, 

 undulating and consisting of irregular dots. The second, more m- 

 wardly, resting on middle of interior margin and similar to anterior 

 line. The third curving around base from costa to interior margin. 

 The interspaces between the transverse lines filled up by irregular 

 checkers of brown shades, those between the inner curving line and 

 the middle transverse line alternating in black and green. Fringes 

 brown. 



Secondaries greyish white, with broad, blackish marginal band from 

 apex to anal angle, fading towards centre. Lightest at base. Fringes 

 blackish, with a marginal line along exterior margin, of small, distinct 

 black dashes. Faint indication of an undulating, transverse line through 

 the centre.
