PI. VI. fig. 2.2, type (female). 



Hmnatopota cilipes, ? , Bigot. 



One female from near Nhatrang^ Annam, 22. x. 1905 

 {Dr. Vassal). 



The type came from Laos. 



Bigot suggests that this species and H. pachycEra should 

 properly belong to a new genus. Certainly this handsome 

 small black species with densely hairy legs, and the striking 

 brown wings with faint pale streaks, but no rosettes, differs 

 considerably from other species of Hcemaiopota from the 

 Oriental Region as yet known to me ; but the shape of the 

 antennse is very similar to those of H. rubida, sp. n., and 

 H. lata, sp. n., described above, more especially to those of 

 the former species, with the long incrassate first joint, the 

 very small second joint, and the broad basal division of the 

 third joint, the last divisions being small and short ; it also 

 resembles H. rubida in its wings, which are distinguished by 

 the pale streak across them, in this species more marked, 

 owing to the dark brown colour of the wings, and continuous 

 from the round pale spot above the stigma to beyond the apical 

 cell; the pale markings of the apex and the internal border 

 are so placed that, viewed by the naked eye, a second pale 

 streak is seen divided from the first by a brown parallel 

 band, with a few brown markings on it, but, as in H. rubida, 

 no rosettes are visible. The fore and hind tibije are incras- 

 sate ; the very hairy tibije and femora will easily distinguish 

 this species. 



It is placed in the Indian and Ceylon table.
