Type (female), Northern Bengal, 42, 25 (Lieut. Campbell). 



A small yellow-brown species, with large grey spots at the 

 sides of abdomen and an indistinct median stripe. 



The type is in very poor preservation, which makes any des- 

 cription of it incomplete. 



Face grey, no spots ; the frontal callus brown, both its borders 

 somewhat irregular ; a small brown spot is situated between the 

 antennae ; the paired spots are brown, large, oblong, the unpaired 

 one is small. Forehead grey. Antennae brown, the first joint yel- 

 lowish, stout, not quite so long as the third; the palpi yellow, 

 with black pubescence. Thorax blackish, with three grey stripes, 

 the sides and breast greyish. Abdomen yellowish, darker at the 

 tip, with large hoary grey spots on the sides ; the median stripe 

 appears incomplete, the hind borders of the segments narrowly 

 yellow. Legs yellow ; the fore coxae very long ; the femora brown- 

 ish ; the fore tibiae brown, yellow at the base ; the tarsi brown at 

 the tips. Wings gxQy, the veins yellow, with an appendix; the 

 light rosettes and spots fairly distinct. Length 8 mm. Ricardo, 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), xviii, p. 116. 



This type being so deteriorated it is impossible to place it even 

 with any certainty in this group. The wings bear some resem- 

 blance to those of H. r oralis, Fabr., the basal cells being largely 

 pale, the apical band is single lineal, curved towards the apex 

 where it joins the first small transverse band, which joins the 

 succeeding one, all these bands forming a nearly continuous line 

 round the border of wing, no pale openings are visible in the pos- 

 terior cells, three rosettes are distinct; only one wing remains.
