and a cuneiform, brown, discoidal streak ; secondaries with 
a subcostal nebulous rounded brown spot, and three 
subanal spots as above; pectus creamy whitish; venter 
creamy ochreous, with lateral series of black dots: expanse 
of wings 2 inches 5 lines. 
Java (Horsfield). Type, B.M. 
Mr. Moore has an example slightly darker, and with 
the spots rather blacker.

(1854); Moore, Cat. Lep. E. I. Comp. i. p. 294, 
n. 675, pl. xi. figs. 9, 9* (1858—9). 
Java (Horsfield). Type, B.M. 
We have six examples of this species, exhibiting no 
tendency to vary; the body alone would readily distin- 
euish it from HZ. clara, as the tegule are ochreous, heavily 
streaked with black, and the abdomen is transversely 
banded with black; the wings are, however, differently 
coloured. 
17. Hypsa? tortuosa. 
Neochera tortuosa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soe. p. 570, 
pl. xxxiii. fig. 2 (1872). 
India. Type, Coll. Hope, Oxford. 
This beautiful species seems to me to be related to the 
four preceding species rather than to Neochera; it has, 
moreover, the same extremely long palpi.
