touching the middle of the submedian nervure in the submedian inter- 

 space. Hindwing with the abdominal half of the wing heavily clothed 

 with long ochreous setae. Underside, both wings paler(more ochreous) 

 than in the male. Forewing with all the spots as on the upperside ; 

 the inner margin broadly ochreo as-yellow. Hindwing as in the male, 

 except that there is a pale ochreous spot at the end of the cell. 



Very near to H. badra, Moore, first recorded from Java in the 

 Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. Co., p. 245, n. 532 (1857), afterwards described 

 from Bengal in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1865, p. 778, from which 

 H. simplicissima differs in both sexes in the absence of the "small bluish- 

 white spot " in the discoidal cell on the hindwing on the underside, the 

 spot anterior to the anal lobe is also smaller and pale ochreous instead 

 of " purple-white," the male also has a distinct " male-mark " on the 

 upperside of the forewing which is entirely wanting in H. badra. 



Described from one male taken in April by Colonel C. T. Bingham in 

 the Yunzalin Valley, five males and four females from N.-E. Sumatra, 

 and a pair of specimens from the Philippine Isles sent to me by Herr 

 Georg Semper. I possess specimens of H. badra from Sikkim, Calcutta, 

 Trevandrum, Ceylon, Sibsagar in Upper Assam, the Naga Hills, the 

 Khasi Hills, Cachar, Chittagong, Maulmain, the Andaman Isles, Perak 

 in the Malay Peninsula, N.-E. Sumatra, and Java ; and it has been 

 recorded from Upper Burma, Rangoon, North Tenasserim, Engano, 

 Sumba, Sambawa, Celebes, and Palawan in the Philippine Isles. 

 Mr. Leech once recorded H. badra from Kiukiang, Yangzee River, 

 China, but subsequently seems to have considered this specimen to be 

 H. anura, de Niceville. The specimens figured are from Sumatra ; 

 they are somewhat smaller than those from the Philippines.
