Felder's figure is either extremely bad, or this is a new species ; 

 it is very probable that the former is the correct explanation of 

 the differences which exist between the two, and that the illustra- 

 tion was taken from a frayed and faded male. The species is 

 quite new to the Museum, though nearly allied to the southern 

 H. delegoryuei, from which it differs chiefly in the trisinuated inner 

 margin of the central belt of the primaries, its regularly undulated 

 outer edging, the white margin of which is emphasized by a grey- 

 mottled series of very indistinct markings across the disc. The 

 female has the outer margins of the wings even more distinctly 

 dentated than in that sex of H. 'delegorguci, but it is probable that 

 this may not be the case in the male. 



188. GrOODiA HOLLANDI, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 1.) 



Allied to G. nubilata, but considerably smaller and paler : the 

 male pale buff : the primaries clouded with fawn towards base of 

 costa, the discoidal cell and centre of costa whitish, slightly 

 mottled with lilacine grey (but most distinctly on costa); an 

 ill-defined, irregular, transverse, dusky line across basal fourth, 

 beyond which the inner border is partly white, flecked and edged 

 with black almost to external angle; an oblique, ill-defined, sub- 

 angulated, brown median band, just crossing the posterior angle of 

 the discoidal cell and almost merging with a very broad golden- 

 brown apical area crossed by an oblique slender dentate-sinuate black 

 line, edged externally with whitish buff ; costal border towards apex 

 rose-tinted ; the centre of external area occupied by a diffused 

 lilacine greyish nebula, which commences in a dark grey cuneiform 

 patch on outer margin towards apex ; a curved blackish line on 

 lower discocellular followed above the base of vein 4 by a buff- 

 whitish spot : secondaries somewhat tawny within and below 

 discoidal cell ; a dusky line on discocellulars ; an arched dentate- 

 sinuate dusky line, blackish near inner margin, crossing the disc 

 parallel to outer margin ; costal and external areas pearly, tinted 

 with pale rose and grey ; inner or abdominal margin mottled with 

 whitish and black. Head purplish brown, collar white, ochreous at 

 sides, and brown-edged ; thorax and base of abdomen pale buff ; 

 remainder of abdomen ruddy brown, excepting the anal tuft which 

 is ochraceous; antennae dark brown, with double divergent 

 bipectinations fringed with buff-whitish pile. Under surface 

 differing a good deal in detail from the upper surface, brown 

 mottled and heavily clouded with lilacine greyish on basal half : 

 body rosy brownish-purplish in front. Expanse of wings 58 inillim. 

 $ . Smaller and altogether more ash-coloured than the male ; 

 the primaries less falcate, the secondaries narrower, less produced 

 at anal angle, most of the markings obliterated, but the cell of the
