at middle of cell, which is orange inwardly, black outwardly ; a black spot with an orange 

 mark inside it in the internu-mediau interspace ; a black spot at end of cell ; an inwardly- 

 oblique orange line from below the costa to the middle of the inner margin, narrowly 

 bordered on each side by black, and with some diffused white beyond it ; a diffused white 

 submai'ginal streak from the third median to submedian veins ; a series of black marginal 

 specks with white outside them. Hind wing whitish. Underside pale fuscous, with costal 

 white specks to fore wing and marginal ones to botb wings. 

 Allied to H. eurhipoides, Hmpsn. 



HYPENAGONIA, g. n. 



Male and Female. Antennae minutely ciliated, more strongly so in the male. Palpi with 

 the second joint thickened and heavily scaled, and slightly upturned ; the third joint small 

 and porrect. Hind legs comparatively rather small, but with the usual two pairs of spurs. 

 Fore wing with the costa nearly straight ; the apex rather acute ; the outer margin excurved 

 at middle and rather oblique; a costal nervure; the first and second subcostals given off 

 before the end of the cell, the third giving off the fourth and fifth ; upper radial from just 

 below the angle of cell ; lower radial and third median from the lower angle ; the second 

 and first medians from befoi'c the angle ; a submedian nervure. Hind wing with the costa 

 nearly straight ; a slight angle at first subcostal, a strong one at third median, from which 

 there are four emarginations to the anal angle ; costal nervure anastomosing shortly with 

 subcostal ; the two subcostals on a long footstalk ; radial from near the lower angle of cell ; 

 the second and third medians on a footstalk ; the first median from before the end of the cell ; 

 submedian and internal nervures. 



Hypenagonia nigrifascia. (Plate CLXVI. fig. 24.) 



Expanse f inch. 



Male and Female. Fore wing pale ochreous ; very indistinct subbasal and antcmcdial pale 

 lines J a moj-e distinct waved postmedial line; a black speck at the end of the cell; indistinct 

 diffused black suhmarginal ])atches near the middle and outer angle, with similar patches on the 

 cilia beyond them ; a series of marginal black sjjecks ; some black strigae on the costa. Hind 

 wing with a medial black band from the subcostal to the inner margin, i-eappearing on the 

 abdomen ; traces of some postmedial waved black lines. Underside with a conspicuous black 

 spot in the cell of each wing; fore wing with a spot beyond it at end of cell ; hind wing with 

 a spot above it on the costa. 



H. [Acidalia) vexatariu, \\\k., from Borneo, and H. [Ei/nasia] pusilla, Bull., from Japan, 

 belong to this genus.
