464 MR. L. DE NICfiVILLE ON NEW OR [May 3 



Described from a single specimen in the collection of Mr. Otto 

 Moller. 



Halpe honorei, n. sp, (Plate XL. fig. 8, $ .) 



Hub. Pulni Hills, South India. 



Expanse. $ 1*5 inch. 



Female. Upperside : both wings fuscous. Fore wing with the 

 base clothed with yellow hair-like scales, more or less forming 

 streaks between the veins ; a large rhomboidal spot at the outer end 

 of the discoidal cell, two elongated ones, the upper twice the size of 

 the lower, in the median interspaces, two or three subapical conju- 

 gated increasing spots, all semitransparent glistening yellow. Hind 

 wing with all but the costal margin as far as the second subcostal 

 nervule and the outer margin somewhat narrowly and the abdominal 

 margin clothed with long yellow setee ; a large discal yellow patch 

 beyond the cell divided by the dark nervules and enclosing a blackish 

 dot in the second median interspace. Underside : fore wing black, 

 all except the costal margin increasingly, the apex widely and the 

 outer margin decreasingly, which are yellowish ochreous ; the semi- 

 transparent spots as above, with two additional somewhat diffused 

 opaque spots placed one above the other near the middle of the 

 submedian interspace, which appears in a somewhat constricted form 

 on the upperside in one specimen. Hind wing yellowish ochreous 

 throughout ; a black spot at the end of the cell, and about six 

 between the veins outside the cell ; some obscure submarginal 

 blackish spots ; the abdominal margin and a streak in the sub- 

 median interspace black. 



The markings of this species remind one at once of those of 

 Plastingia noemi, mihi'; but there is only one spot in the cell of 

 the fore wing, and the yellow patch in the hind wing is larger in the 

 species now described. 



Described from somewhat worn specimens collected by Father 

 D. Honore, S. J., in the Pulni Hills of South India.

Male. Upperside: both wings black. Fore wing with the 

 base (all except a round spot in the submedian interspace just 

 beyond the origin of the first median nervule and touching it)

 beyond the middle of the cell, five conjoined subapical quadrate 

 spots divided by the veins, the two lower ones shifted outwards, a 

 narrow linear spot in the second median interspace, a quadrate one 

 equal in size to that in the cell in the first median interspace, two 

 much smaller ones placed obliquely (in one specimen conjoined in 

 the right-hand wing) in the submedian interspace, all semi-dia- 

 phanous pale ochreous white. Cilia black, all except a small portion
