somewhat darker green, with pale lunulate-dentate sub- 

 terminal, which is filled in proximally with fuscous shading 

 between the radials and between M 1 and inner margin ; 

 three dark dashes from costa, one on either side of the sub- 

 terminal and one at the proximal edge of the marginal darker 

 green area; terminal line composed of heavy black spots on 

 either side of the veins, connected with black spots in the 

 fuscous-grey fringe. Hind wing fuscous, somewhat lighter 

 towards costa, terminal line less distinct than in fore wing, 

 fringe paler grey. Underside very pale ochreous with the 

 markings fuscous ; fore wing with the beginning of a band 

 from costa at one-fifth, a dark cell-spot, a postmedian band 

 thickened and angled below R 3 , thence oblique inwards, but 

 only reaching to M 2 , an apical cloud reaching to R 3 , con- 

 taining a few pale spots near apex, the largest at the apex 

 itself, further but less distinct clouding below M 1 ; hind 

 wing beneath with distinct cell-spot and narrow marginal 

 band, which is a good deal interrupted, especially from R 8 

 to M', no other markings, excepting two or three indistinct 

 vein-dots indicating the postmedian.

 Nearly related to H. heteroptila, Warr. Nov. Zool. viii. 

 p. 4G3, from Brazil, for which it has doubtless beeu passed 

 over ; larger, fore wing appearing somewhat more elongate, 

 brighter green, not mixed with reddish, central area narrower, 

 its inner edge more concave, its outer projecting less between 

 R 3 and M 1 , hind wing uniform dark grey. I am very 

 doubtful as to the propriety of retaining this and the two 

 following species — together with the large group to which 

 they belong — in Hammaptera. Mr. Warren seems also to 

 have hesitated, having published some of them as Epirrhoii 

 (in err. pro Euphyia) and some in Anapalta, but pending- 

 further revision I leave them in what he now considers the 

 best position. 



Hatnmaptera luxuriata, sp. n. 

 <$ . 32-34 mm. — Exceedingly like the most deeply and 

 richly coloured forms of H. trajectata *, but differing in the 

 following points, some at least of which will prove constant : 

 palpus slightly shorter, scarcely reaching beyond frontal 

 tuft ; metathoracic crest apparently more deeply bipartite ; 

 central fascia typically with more of the vinous and less of tlie
