Type (female) from Howlett collection, Shillong, Assam, and 

 another in Howlett collection from same locality. 



A species allied to H. latifascia, n. sp., but distinguished from 

 it by the narrower, more irregular apical band, by the first joint 

 of antennae being less cylindrical but more incrassate or globular, 

 as long as the first annulation of the third joint, b}^ the band of 

 face being indistinct, broken up into brown spots, and the hind 

 tibiae are not incrassate and are less heavily fringed. Length 8 mm. 



Face grejnsh with white pubescence, the band is represented 

 by an upper and a lower brown spot. Palpi reddish yellow , slender , 

 with black pubescence, and some longer white hairs below. 

 Antennae reddish yellow, the first joint shining, slightly nar- 

 rower at base, incrassate, almost bare of pubescence, the second 

 joint small with black hairs, the third joint dull red at base and 

 then blackish , narrow ; the difference between the antennae and 

 those of the preceding species is not very marked. Forehead grey- 

 ish with black pubescence. Frontal callus blackish brown, narrow, 

 almost straight on both its borders, spot between antennae 

 black ; paired spots black, touching eyes and frontal callus ; unpaired 

 spot present. Thorax blackish with short appressed yellowish 

 hairs, and some grey tomentum. Scutellum similar. Abdomen 

 reddish brown, redder on basal segments, with distinct pale seg- 

 mentations clothed with short yellowish hairs which are also 

 scattered over dorsum, sides with white hairs ; under side reddish 

 yellow. Legs reddish yellow, fore pair blackish, the base of fore 

 tibiae white, middle and posterior tibiae with faint brown typical 

 rings which are fairly distinct however on the other female, apical 

 joints of all tarsi blackish. Wings very similar to those of H. 

 latifascia, but the apical band is not band-like but narrower and 

 irregular, reaching across the whole width of wing however or ver}- 

 nearly so, broadest at its base, the inner border with a less pro- 

 nounced pale edging.
