302 MESSES. H. J. ELWBS AND JAMES EDWAKDS : 



Hasoea proxissima, n. sp. (Plate XXI. fig. 10, 6 .) 



(J . Upperside brown. Underside : fore wing brown, paler along the dorsum, basal 

 third of the disc thickly clothed with coarse darker scales, a purple streak next the 

 upper edge of the cell and a curved series of suifused purple spots beyond the end of 

 the cell from the costa to cell 3 : hind wing with a white band from just before the 

 apex of the costa to the dorsum just before the tornus, from the base to the band 

 purple-brown shot with green, beyond the band plain brown ; the inner edge of the 

 band is evenly curved (the convexity towards the base of the wing) from the costa to 

 vein 1 I/, whence it runs straight to the dorsum and is tinged with purple and green, 

 the outer edge is nearly straight from the costa to vein 1 b, whei'e it is angulated.

Described from one specimen ex coll. Staudinger. 



H. proximata and H. proxissima belong to a group, not represented in our region by 

 any species, which we may call the Jiurama group, because they agree witii that species from 

 North Australia in having the band on the hind wing below continuous from the costa to 

 the dorsum, whilst in all the specimens in Elwes's coll. of chahvona (10) and cJrronuis (80) 

 this band, though very variable in breadth, coloration, and distinctness, is interrupted 

 near vein 1 i by the black subtornal patch. The differences between proxissima and 

 proximata are precisely those between vifta, Butl., and chabroim, Plotz, namely the 

 presence or absence of the apical spot on the fore wing. This may or may not be a 

 constant character, but it is constant in the only species of whicli we have a good series, 

 namely chabrona. All these four species want the sex-mark which is so conspicuous in 

 H. chromiis, and the round spot at base of hind wing below which distinguishes the 

 badra group. 



! Hasora borneensis, n. sp. (Plate XX. figs. 8 ,j, 11 2 .) 



cJ . Upperside brown, the dorsal half of the hind wing yellow-brown, by reason of 

 the thick clothing of paler hair-scales. Underside : fore wing brown, with a suffused 

 whitish > with its apex to the termen between veins 1 a and 3, transverse vein indis- 

 tinctly pale, and a suffused indistinct macular pale band from beyond the end of the cell 

 towards the tornus as far as cell 2 : hind wing brown, with a cream-white band from the 

 preapical fifth of vein 8 to the dorsum just before the tornus, the outer edge of this band 

 is straight from vein 8 to the apical seventh of vein 1 b, where the short piece which runs 

 to the dorsum forms an obtuse angle with the remainder, its inner edge is almost straight 

 from vein 8 to the base of vein 3, whence it is irregularly curved outward, and the width 

 of the band is thus reduced to about one-half of its previous width ; tornal region somewliat 

 darker than the remainder of the wing, but without any black patch'. Fringes pale 

 grey, becoming paler towards the tornus of each wing; the short scales grey-brown. 

 Antennae brown, the club and apiculus reddish beneath. Body above concolorous with
