73. Hasora bilunata, Butl. 



(? Hasora haslia, Swinh., Ann. Mag. N.H., iii. (7), 107.) 



Male and female, 50-60 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark 

 fuscous, mixed with metallic greenish hairs. Abdomen and 

 antennae dark fuscous, abdomen somewhat purplish tinged, 

 palpi beneath ochreous, club of antennae reddish beneath. Legs 

 fuscous. Forewings elongate, triangular, costa gently arched, 

 termen hardly rounded, oblique; dark fuscous, somewhat tinged 

 with greenish-golden ; basal hairs bluish-green ; spots whitish^ 

 semi-hyaline; all markingg in male absent; stigma absent; a 

 small round subcostal spot at two-thirds from base between 

 veins 6 and 7 ; an irregular triangular spot lying between veinft 

 3 and 4 beyond middle ; a similar spot obliquely below, between 

 veins 2 and 3, touching vein 3 ; cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings 

 with color as in forewings, termen produced on vein 1 ; basal 

 and inner marginal hairs metallic blue-green, fuscous pos- 

 teriorly ; cilia as in forewings. Underside of both wings^ 

 ochreous-fuscous, lighter in cell and along termen ; markings^ 

 of upper side of female reproduced, and with a suffused whitish 

 spot on vein lb ; beyond subcostal spot is.a short suffused obscure 

 transverse whitish streak, hardly traceable in male ; hind- 

 wings with faintly curved transverse snow-white fascia, nar- 

 rowed at commencement and gradually dilated to termination 

 from costa at three-fifths direct to vein la above anal angle ; 

 a larga dull blackish apical patch ; a moderate suffused, whitish 

 patch on inner margin above anal angle ; ciha dark fuscous, 

 with a short streak of white at base on either side of anal angle. 



Somewhat allied to the following, but very distinct by the 

 much naiTower fascia of hindwings, more sombre coloring, and 

 especially by the absence of stigma of male. It closely re- 

 sembles Chromus, but differs by the presence of stigma, larger 

 size, and spot on vein lb.
