the Lepidoptera of the Khasia Hills. 325 
Khasia examples, the variation referred to by Elwes, 
Trans. Ent. Soe. Lond., 1888, p. 453, is observable, the 
cell-spot in the fore wings above being sometimes absent, 
and sometimes there is a small white lot above the two 
subapical spots ; and in some specimens the cell-spot is 
reduced to a dot, but the discal elongated spots and the 
two usual subapical spots do not seem to vary in size. 
478. Halpe aucma, u. sp. 
3. Closely allied to the preceding; of the same uniform brown 
colour above; fore wings with no cell-spot, two discal spots less 
than half the size of these spots in H. homolea, the lower the 
larger, and slightly excavated on the outer side, as obliquely placed 
as in H. gupta, de Nicé.; three subapical spots, the uppermost 
one very minute. Hind wings uniformly coloured, not paler in 
the centre, as in homolea; cilia grey, patched with brown in the 
fore wings. Under side darker than in homolea; spots of fore 
wings as above; otherwise the markings of both wings are of the 
same character as in homolea, but more suffused and less distinct. 
Expanse of wings, 1; in. 
One example. Shillong. 
479. Halpe marta, n. sp. 
g. Closely allied to homolea, similarly coloured, but without 
the paler shade in centre of hind wings. Fore wings shorter; 
discal spots much shorter, the bottom one nearly square, slightly 
excavated on the outer side, not nearly so obliquely placed, con- 
sequently the cell-spot, whichis present and small, is not above its 
inner end, but well to the inner side of the wing; subapical spots 
two, and nearly of equal size, as in homolea ; cilia similar. Under 
side darker; spots on fore wing as above. Wings with similar 
markings, but not nearly so diffused with yellow atoms, and the 
markings on hind wings very obscure. Expanse of wings, 1 in. 
One example. Shillong. 
480. Halpe wantona, n. sp. 
g. Allied to homolea. Wings similarly coloured, with the 
paler space in the centre of hind wings; discal and cell-spots as in 
marta ; subapical spots all very small, the upper one very minute ; 
cilia of fore wings not patched either above or below, but brown 
with pale tips, palest towards hinder angle ; cilia of hind wings 
grey. Under side: fore wings with spots as above, the usual sub- 
apical band of yellow spots slightly recurved and not uniform ; 
otherwise the general coloration and markings much as in homolea,
