whicli the blackish line is subbasal, on subapical and submedian streaks with 

 whitiah spots. Hindwings dark fuscous, sometimes lighter and bronzy-tinged 

 in middle of disc ; extreme apex tinged with fulvous ; cilia light fuscous, with 

 dark fuscous basal line, 



Khasis, from July to September ; eleven specimens. The simple ^ antenna

Hilarographa druiclica, n. sp. 



^9. 13-15 mm. Head dark fuscous, orbital margins yellow. Palpi 

 fuscous, towards base anteriorly violet-whitish. Antennae dark fuscous, in $ 

 strong ly ciliated. Thorax dark fuscous, with a yellow stripe on each side of 

 back, and a short yellow lateral mark on patagia. Abdomen dark fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen 

 rather oblique, sinuate beneath apex ; 7 and 8 separate ; orange-fulvous ; a 

 blackish basal patch, its outer edge sharply angulated above middle, and 

 margined on upper portion by a violet black edged streak becoming yellow 

 on costa, on lower portion by broad yellow streak attenuated at apex and 

 strongly black-edged posteriorly ; within this patch are a curved yellow streak 

 from base of costa to disc and thence to near posterior edge above angle and a 

 short yellow mark from costa near base ; two oblique violet black-edged streaks 

 starting from white marks on costa before and beyond middle, and connected 

 by three irregularly anastomosing black streaks with dorsum beyond middle ; 

 a violet black-edged streak rising from a white dot on costa at f, and curved 

 round to meet an oblique white mark from costa near apex ; a violet-golden- 

 metallic transverse streak from dorsum before tornus reaching half across wing 

 and another along lower half of termen, former nearly followed by a fine black 

 line, latter preceded by four small black spots and surmounted by another ; a 

 white terminal dot beneath apex ; cilia dark coppery-metaUic, above apex white 

 with a black basal line, and with a white spot on subapical dot. Hindwings

 cilia pale grey, with a blackish basal line. 



Khaais, in May and from August to October ; seven specimens. Nearly 

 allied to H. africana. Wals from Central Africa. 

 Glyphipteryx asterias, Meyr. 



(Anticrates asterias, Meyr. Journal Bombay N. H. Soc, XVIII, 154.) 

 Having obtained additional material, I find this to be a true Glyj^hipteryx 

 having the typical palpi (which were in bad condition in the type), with four 

 oblique white rings ; it is however a very distinct form of the genus, 

 Glyphipteryx pyrogaUra, n. sp. 



^ $. 15-16 mm. Head, antennfe, and thorax purple-blackish, face grey. 

 Palpi black lined with white, terminal joint much longer than second. Abdo- 

 men fiery orange towards base purple-blackish. Forewing elongate, narrow 

 at base, posteriorly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen rather 

 strongly oblique, sinuate-indented beneath apex ; 7 and 8 separate ; purple- 

 blackish ; six blue -leaden metallic lines rising from white costal strigulae, first
