^62 MESSRS. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEDS : 



Expanse 40 mm. 



Described from two males from Sikkim in Elwes collection. 



This species is undoubtedly close to kumara, of which I have but one specimen, but 



it seems sufficiently distinct. 



Halpe fasciata, n. sp. (Plate XXI. fig. 7, 2 .) 



$ . Upperside dark brown ; fore wing with five white spots, one quadrate in 

 cell 2, one subquadrate or roundish in cell 3, one (subquadrate or roundish) 

 in each of cells 6 and 7, and one very small and indistinct next the upper edge of the 

 cell. Underside grey-brown : fore wing somewhat darker on the disc, the white 

 spots as on the upperside and a subterminal row of indistinct suffused whitish 

 spots ; hind wing with a subterminal row of indistinct suff'used whitish spots. Fringe 

 of the fore wing grey-bro\^'n concolorous with the wing, of the hind wing similar 

 but indistinctly spotted with whitish. Antennae above black with a white baud 

 next the apiculus, underside spotted with white. Body above dark brown, clothing 

 of the breast and legs grey ; abdomen beneath blackish, hind margin of the segments 

 with a narrow indistinct pale band. 



Expanse 33 mm. 



Hah. Kina Balu, Borneo [Waterstradt) . 



Described from one example ex coll. Staudingcr. Of the species known to us 

 this species comes nearest to kumara and hiijvetti, but it is in our judgment distinct 

 from either. The close yellow scaling of the hind wing and the extra-discal portion 

 of the fore wing on the underside so conspicuous in those two species is wanting 

 in the specimen before us, but this may possibly be due to abrasion. 



Halpe lucasii. 



Hespertlla lucasii, Mabille, Ann. Soo. Ent. Fr. 1876, p. cHii. 

 Halpe lacasi, Leech, Butt. China, &c. p. 624 (1894). 



We have not seen this species, but, according to Mr. Leech, it is allied to 

 H. kumara, from which it diff'ers in having a double spot in the cell of the 

 fore wing, a more elongate hind wing, and a central series of four black spots on the 

 hind wing below.

Halpe c^nis. 

 Halpe ceenis. Leech, Butt. China, &c. p. 625, pi. xlii. fig. 16, 6 (1894). 



Of this species, which was described from one male specimen taken in Western 

 China at Chia-kou-ho in August, we transcribe the original description : — 



"Blackish brown, clothed about the base of primaries and disc of secondaries 

 with fulvous hairs. Sexual brand well defined ; there are six white .spots on primaries
