A REVISION OF THE ORIENTAL HESPEEIID.*:. 219 



apical third of the cell, one occupying cell 3 from the base to the middle, its outer 

 edge obliquely concave and passing from the basal third of vein 4 to beyond the 

 middle of vein 3, and one irregularly ovate and placed obliquely near the middle of 

 cell 2, of which it occupies the entire width. Underside brown : fore wing with the 

 hyaline spots as on the upper surface, cell 1 pale, except in its apical fifth, a suffused 

 brownish-grey patch near the middle of the costa and a suffused patch of bluish-white 

 scales reaching from the apex of the cell to the costa just before the apex of the wing ; 

 hind wing with a small sharply defined cream-coloured spot near the base of cell 7, 

 cell 1 sparsely sprinkled throughout with bluish-white scales, and on the disc some 

 suffused patches of bluish-white scales indicating an irregular median and postmedian 

 band. Fringes concolorous, a little paler near the tornus of each wing. Body, 

 palpi, legs, and antennae brown, the latter brownish yellow on the underside of 

 the club. 



2 , Fore wing above with the hyaline spot in cell 3 completely filling up the base 

 of that cell, and the hyaline spot in cell 2 forming a parallelogram, of which the 

 upperside occupies the basal half of vein 3 and the lower side is separated from 

 the base of vein 2 by two-fifths, and from the apex of vein 2 by one-fifth of the entire 

 length of that vein. Otherwise like the male. 



Expanse 52-53 mm.

The above description was drawn up from a single pair in coll. Elwes long before 

 Dr. Martin's description appeared ; and as the latter did not know the female, it has 

 been allowed to stand.

 Allied to Mata^ia ; the sex-marks in the male constitute the main differerxces ; there 

 is in that sex a large tomentose patch on the disc of the fore wing above, a tuft of 

 long hairs on the dorsum of the same wing below, and a conspicuous seam on the 

 basal half of veins 2 and 3 of the hind wing above. There is but one described 

 species, lebadea. Hew., a large insect expanding 51-65 mm. The male resembles a 

 Mata])a in the stout body, contour of wings, uniform brown coloration of the latter 

 above, and the yellow fringe to the hind wing; the female (which appears to be 

 hitherto undescribed) exactly resembles the male on the underside, but has three deep 

 yellow spots on the fore wing and otherwise closely resembles Erionota thrax.
