tegmina less than three times the length of greatest breadth ; tegmina 

 with the basal cell longer than broad, the postcostal area moderately 

 wide, apical areas eight, transverse vein at base of second apical area 

 vertical ; lower ulnar area long, narrow, its upper vein curved ; wings 

 with six apical areas. 



I place this genus near Dorachosa, Dist. 



Hea fasciata, sp. n. 

 (? . Head above black, anterior margins of front and vertex, and 

 a narrow central line to both ochraceous ; pronotum and mesonotum 

 brownish ochraceous with a broad central greenish yellow fascia 

 margined on each side with black, narrower on pronotum and broader 

 on mesonotum, lateral margins of pronotum pale ochraceous inwardly 

 margined with black ; abdomen dark ochraceous, with a central paler 

 longitudinal fascia and with two black spots near base ; body beneath 

 and legs stramineous, central transverse ridges to face, space between 

 face and eyes, clypeus, apex of rostrum, shadings to anterior and 

 intermediate coxae, and streaks to anterior femora black ; tegmina and 

 wings hyaline with a slight bronzy tint, extreme bases, the costal 

 membrane to tegmina, and basal half of anal area to wings testaceous 

 red ; tegmina with the basal cell and lower ulnar area more or less 

 ochraceous, the margins of the latter and its apex fuscous. Long, 

 excl. tegm. 16 millim. Exp. tegm. 45 millim. 



Hab.* China. 



I have no more precise locality for this species, which was 

 procured at the sale of the collections of Mr. R Cholmondeley 

 some ten years ago. I have refrained from describing it before, 

 trusting that I might receive another better localized specimen 

 from other sources, but this has not occurred. 



In the type one tegmen possesses eight apical areas, and the 

 other only seven. 



NOTES ON HYBRID NOTODONTA ZICZAC- 

 DROMEDARIUS. 



By F. N. Pierce, F.E.S. 



So rarely do hybrids find their way to the microscopist that 

 I would like to place on record the thanks of all structure 

 workers, and those entomologists interested in anatomy, to Mr. 

 L. W. Newman, of Bexley, Kent, who is so anxious for science 

 that he sacrificed two lovely specimens of this rare hybrid 

 N. z'lczac-dromedarius in order that another link might be added 

 to the all too little known structure of the curiously mixed 

 genital organs of hybrids. About the middle of July last Mr. A. 

 Bacot wrote and asked me if I would undertake the examination 

 of two specimens, which I readily assented to. Mr. Newman 

 had written to him as follows : — " Enclosed are two hybrids
