legs are concolorous. The primaries on the 

 upper side have a large, irregularly triangu- 

 lar, sub-basal spot of dark brown on the costa 

 its base resting on the costa, and its apex on 

 the submedian vein. This spot is marked 

 with a golden dot on the costa and is edged 

 externally by geminate parallel lines of pale 

 purple, each of which is defined outwardly by 

 equally narrow darker lines. On the inner 

 margin this spot is defined by an irregular 

 silvery line. The middle area of the wing is 

 purplish grey, clouded with darker brown 

 toward the outer margin. There is a well- 

 defined reniform spot at the end of the cell. 

 Running obliquely from the apex to about 

 the middle of the inner margin is a broken 

 series of golden lines beyond which the outer 

 third is heavily shaded with dark maroon 

 spots, separated by a purplish grey area near 

 the middle of the margin and by a golden 

 subquadrate spot at the outer angle. There 

 is a narrow whitish marginal line below the 

 apex to about the middle of the margin . The 

 fringes are brown, minutely checked with 

 whitish at the tips of the nervules. The 

 secondaries on the upper side are uniformly 

 plumbeous. 



?. The female does not difl'er from the 

 male except in having the abdomen one- 

 fourth shorter than the male and much stouter.

readily be distinguished by the greater 

 breadth of the wings, by the scalloped form 

 of the external margin, and by the fact that 

 the posteriors are provided with triple frenula, 

 whereas in Deva the frenulum is simple. 

 The males are further characterized by hav- 

 ing the length of the abdomen relatively 

 much shorter and stouter than is the case in 

 the genus Deva. Type H. barbata, Holl. 



II. H. baibata, sp. nov. <J. Upper side 

 of thorax dark brown, upper side of abdomen 

 fuscous. The lower side of the thorax and 

 abdomen are whitish. The legs are concolor- 

 ous. The primaries upon the upper side have 

 the costa at the base yellowish olivaceous. 

 The remainder of the wing is brownish heav- 

 ily marked with darker brown on the inner 

 half of the wing and at the apex. There is a 

 well-marked reniform spot at the end of the 

 cell, and beyond it touching the costa a sub- 

 triangular grayish spot. The dark inner area 

 of the wing is traversed by a short basal ray 

 of pale gray, terminating where it meets an 

 irregularly curved median line, which runs 

 from the end of the cell to the inner margin 

 one third of its distance from the base. This 

 line is succeeded outwardly by a similar nar- 

 row curved line the direction of the undula- 

 tions in which is the reverse of the inner line. 

 There is a series of interrupted waved sub- 

 marginal lines. The fringes are paler than 

 the rest of the wing, and shaded with ashen. 

 The secondaries are uniformly fuscous with 

 the fringes pale gray. Upon the underside 

 both wings are prevalently fuscous. The 

 primaries are narrowly margined at the apex 

 upon the costa with ochraceous, and more 

 broadly margined with the same color upon 

 the inner margin. Besides there is a con- 

 spicuous spot of the same color on the costa 

 just above the end of the cell. The second- 

 aries are laved with pale ashen gray near the 

 base, and have a pale ochraceous spot on the 

 costa beyond the cell, and a narrow ray of the 

 same color running inwardly to the base from 

 this spot, parallel to the costal margin. In 

 some specimens there is a trace of a dark
