428 COL. c. swiNHOE ON NEW [Nov. 5, 



maro-iiis of fore wings whitish, and with the white subcostal marks 

 as on the upperside. 



Expanse of wings li inch. 



Hab. Sikhim. One" specimen purchased from Mr. Paul Mowis, 

 and one received from Mr, Irvine. 



From H. siynata, Butler, this differs in its extremely dark colour, 

 broader wings, the outer margin of both fore and hind wings lieiiig 

 even, not sinuous as in jE". svjnata. On the fore wing the antemedial 

 diffuse black line is inwardly oblique, this line in E. siynata being 

 erect and excurved ; there is no duplex medial transverse line, 

 which is conspicuous in E. signata.

 gubaria subalbataria, u. sp. 



Male. Palpi and antennae dull ochreous ; head, thorax, and general 

 colour of both wings chocolate-grey ; head between antennae ochreous 

 yellow, as also is the abdomen, which has a chocolate-grey dorsal 

 stripe, broad at the base, and tapering to and terminating at about 

 one third from the apex ; all the grey portions are powdered with 

 white ; in reality the ground-coloration is white, but the chocolate- 

 grey irrorations are so dense as only to leave the ground-colour show- 

 ing through in places ; there is a very broad medial oblique white 

 band right across both wings, and this band is also thickly covered 

 with grey irrorations, making it look dirty greyish white ; the band 

 does not quite touch the costa of the fore wings, it has an inner sin- 

 uous grey, and a straight outer darker line, this line being sometimes 

 inwardly margined with pure white ; a brown lunule at tlie end of cell 

 in fore wings, a Ijroad one at end of cell in hind wings, a costal sub- 

 apical angular dark patch on fore wings and one (sometimes two) 

 dark distal streaks outside the band on the hind wings ; marginal 

 line brown ; fringe ochreous grey, interlined. 



Underside : body and legs ochreous, unmarked ; wings with a broad 

 band as above, but })ure white, space inside the band being also white, 

 marked with brownish and ochreous striations, the space outside the 

 band dark chocolate-brown, with a whitish subapical spot on fore 

 wings, and a whitish marginal patch on hind wings towards anal 

 angle, but this patch is wanting in some specimens. 



The female differs from the male in being of dark olivaceous-grey 

 colour ; the palpi, body below, legs, and abdomen above and at the 

 sides are white instead of ochreous, there being merely some ochreous 

 colour in the centre of the abdomen below ; the antennae are grey 

 speckled with white, the central broad stripe across tlie wings above 

 is duller, the outer margin diffuse, the straight line being wanting ; 

 in the wings below the outer third is nearly black and unmarked, 

 except for the subapical white spot on the fore wings, the inner two 

 thirds is pure white, irrorated with purplish brown, more thickly so 

 near the base inside the band, which is indicated by a blackish sin- 

 uous line.
