140 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of Agaristide. 
We have a male and two females of the L. victrix of West- 
wood, all from Nepal; and as they agree entirely in pattern, 
I do not doubt that the two species described above from dif- 
ferent localities are distinct. 
3. Husemia nigripennis, n. sp. 
Like EZ. adulatrix, but with the upper division of the central 
yellow band of primaries narrower, and the lowermost division 
much broader; the postcellular yellow spots larger; the discal 
series of white spots reduced to minute points, and the orange 
subanal patch of secondaries reduced to a squamose dot. 
Expanse of wings 3 inches 2 lines. 
Ceylon (Zempleton). Type, B.M. 
We have FE. adulatrix from Nepal and N. India, and the 
nearly allied #. bellatrix from N. Bengal and Moulmein. 
4, Husemia nipalensis, n. sp. 
3- Nearly allied to H. maculatrix of Silhet, but smaller, 
and differmg in the larger and more angular four central yel- 
low spots of primaries, the brilliant orange (instead of dull 
deep-red) secondaries, and the bright orange abdomen with 
narrower transverse black bars: differences below as above. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 
Nepal (Ramsay c&c.). Type, B.M. 
This beautiful species is certainly distinct. 
5. Husemia distincta, n. sp. 
Allied to the preceding, but differs in having the two inner 
yellow spots of primaries narrower and almost touching, and 
the two outer spots white imstead of yellow. 
Expanse of wings 3 inches. 
Silhet (Doubleday). ‘Type, B.M. 
Intermediate between /. nipalensis and LE. trenea of Bois- 
duval: all three, as well as several examples of L. vetula, two 
ot HL. communicans, and the following species, were united 
with L. maculatrix by Mr. Walker. 
6. Husemia communis, n. sp. Pl. XIII. fig. 1. 
Allied to #. communicans (which is closely allied to the 
Bornean #. fasciatrix), but with the inner white (sometimes 
ochreous) bar always irregular, and almost invariably more or 
less interrupted * ; the outer white or ochreous bar dislocated, 
* The examples with ochreous or ochre-tinted band generally have it 
broken up into two small spots.
