Tlie straight instead of unduhited submarginal stripe on the primaries is probably the

Size, outline, and general pattern of //. rostralis : primaries pale lilaciue greyish irro- 

 rated with olive-brown; the broad belt represented by two olive-brown lines similar to those 

 of H. rostralis, the outer line slenderly white-edged; no trace of the oblique costal dashes of 

 the European species ; " orbicular " spot represented by a small white-edged black spot ;

 patch, forming the upper part of the external border, below apex; a marginal series of white- 

 edged, conical, black dots ; fringe whity brown, traversed by two parallel, undulated, dark 

 grey lines : secondaries pale greyish brown, darker towards outer margin ; basi-costal area 

 whitish; an interrupted black marginal line; fringe rather paler than in primaries: body 

 lilaeine grey, abdomen with white edges to the segments. Primaries pale grey-brown ; costal 

 and external borders irrorated with whitish ; a short, transverse, bisinuated, brown stripe

Primaries above bright reddish chocolate, with silvery-blue markings as follows : — an 

 oblique stripe from base of median to basal third of submedian vein ; an incurved line starting 

 from beyond the middle of the costal margin, united just above lower radial vein to a nearly 

 straight line which runs obliquely inwards to just beyond the middle of the inner margin ; a
