Fore wing nearest to H. diffusa of Butler. The black and 

 white fringe on the hind margin is composed of white spots divided 

 by the black nervules, these spots becoming smaller towards the 

 apex ; in the discoidal cell there is one large white spot elongated 

 towards the base of the wing; the whole of the inner is black, and 

 above the first median nervule is a large white spot with a slight 

 streak of white below it. In the centre of the wing from the costa, 

 slanting towards the hind margin, are three oblongate white spots 

 in succession, and there is an additional row of four white spots 

 varying in size near the apex ; there are foiu' small white spots 

 near the hind margin, one between each nervule, beginning with 

 the second discoidal or radial nervule, the fourth spot near the 

 submedian nervure being much the largest. Hind wing has nearly 

 the whole of the basal area and centre of the wing white, with a 

 submarginal brown band ; on this brown band are four white spots, 

 commencing with the subcostal nervure, these spots decreasing in 

 size towards the third median nervule ; the hind margin is white, 

 the nervules being distinctly marked in black; the whole of the 

 hind margin is surrounded by a thin black line, fringed with white 

 between the nervules. Under side is paler in colour than in 

 H. diffusa, but all the white markings are i^uite distinct. The 

 hind wing has only the four white spots marked as on the upper 

 side, instead of a complete row, as in H. diffusa. Exp. 2^^ in.

 general colour much brighter, and the black on hind margin much 

 deeper and of greater extent ; the hind margin has a broad border 

 of deep brown ; at the apex the black extends for a short distance 

 to the subcostal nervure ; from the submedian nervure to the costal 

 margin there is a row of hastate markings ; at the base there is a 

 patch of yellowish green, with three irregular narrow black lines, 

 in the discoidal cell. Hind wing similar to fore wing, with the
