Lepidoptera of the genus Hypsa. 323 
by pale nervures; all the black spots considerably enlarged ; 
primaries with an additional black spot just below the base 
of first median branch; secondaries with two large subanal 
black spots, the upper one oblique: expanse of wings 
2 inches 8 lines. 
Sarawak (Wallace). Type, B.M. 
A local representative of H. egens, but much deeper- 
coloured than males from N. India, our largest examples of 
which measure 2 inches 6 lines in expanse. Examples 
of the females sometimes attain to 1 inch 7 lines, 
but are brighter iu colouring and less heavily spotted, 
whilst both sexes from Jaya are very small and brightly 
coloured, with the black spots of the under surface small,

Java (Horsfield). 
Type, B.M. 
Our smallest Javan example measures only 1 inch 
10 lines in expanse. If it be proved by breeding that the 
Indian form is distinct, the name must be retained for the 
Javan insect, as Mr. Moore has figured the metamor- 
phoses in his Catalogue (pl. xii. figs. 7, 7*), thus fixing it 
as the type of Walker’s species.

Bourbon. 
HI. insularis is evidently closely allied to HZ. egens, but 
appears to differ on the under surface ; it is not at all 
likely to be the female of ZH. borbonica; in my opinion, 
the latter is not even congeneric with Hypsa.
