In structure this species agrees well with H. mandatalis,'Walk., from 

 Ceylon, but it differs therefrom in colour and marking, the white 

 discal spot being a very conspicuous feature. From IT. stigiana, 

 Butl., which it resembles superficially, it is easily separat)le by the 

 very different palpi.

 September of the same year.
