12 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



of that of forewing (single from terraen near tornas, becoming double between 

 the medians and the two diverging anteriorly); terminal line extremely slender 

 anteriorly, less so from R 1 , broad in the tail at R 3 , cut by a fine pale line on 

 the vein itself, narrowing gradually to tornus ; fringe yellow, with dark spots 

 at R 3 , M 1 and tornus, and (slighter) at R 1 . 



Underside much paler ; similarly but more weakly marked. 



Kina Balu, N. Borneo (J. Waterstradt). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



28. Hipparchus (Chloroglyphica) glaucochrista sp. nov. 



8, 47 mm. Face green. Palpus brown-grey, slightly tinged with olive. 

 Vertex light-brown, mixed with fuscous, in front narrowly whitish (in the paratype 

 predominantly white). Thorax above green, beneath mostly white. Abdomen 

 above light-brown, tinged with green, spotted with white at ends of segments ; 

 beneath white. Legs whitish, the fore and middle tarsi partly infuscated. 



Forewing green, nearly as in variegata Butl., but with a glaucous shade in 

 middle, very shiny, extending from near base to beyond postmedian line and from 

 SC 2 to behind fold, but not sharply defined, except anteriorly ; extreme costal 

 edge pale ochreous, with fuscous spots ; costal margin otherwise, together with 

 apical region, yellower green ; lines chocolate, whitish-edged proximally and 

 distally ; antemedian from beyoud one-fonrth hindmargin, slightly indented on 

 veins and still more feebly on fold, obsolete anteriorly ; discal dot minute ; 

 postmedian line from three-fifths hindmargin, parallel with termen as far as 

 R 1 , feebly lunulate-dentate, obsolete anteriorly, but traceable as a faint whitish 

 line which runs obliquely inwards and slightly curved to a white spot at or beyond 

 three-fifths costa ; some slight whitish, chocolate-mixed subterminal spots ; termen 

 with a chocolate spot on each side of SC 5 ; fringe tinged with chocolate from 



apex to behind R 1 , otherwise blue-green, becoming whitish at tips. Hindwing 



without definite glaucous suffnsion ; postmedian line little beyond middle, lunulate- 

 dentate ; vagne subterminal marks as on forewing ; fringe blue-green proximally, 

 whitish distally, chocolate at the tail at extremity of R 3 . 



Underside similar, but the hindwing also with an extended whitish glaucous 

 suffusion, ending at a lunulate-dentate whitish subterminal line. 



Vrianatong, Tibet; 2 S <S in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Hercoloxia gen. nov. 



Related to Comibaena Hb., differing as follows : 



Foretibia not tufted. Hindtibia of <$ not dilated, median spurs wanting. 

 Both wings with discocellulars formed nearly as in Spaniocentra Prout, M 1 at 

 its origin widely separate from R 3 . The second joint of the palpus is similar 

 to that of Comibaena, but not quite so strongly rough-scaled. The wing-shape 

 is nearly that of C. tenera Warr. The <5 pectinations are very long, ceasing 

 suddenly near the tip of the antenna. 



Type of the genus : Hercoloxia chlor ochromodes sp. nov. 



29. Hercoloxia chlorochromodes sp. nov. 



c?, 31 mm. Colour and aspect of Comibaena tenera Warr., for which it 

 may probably have been passed over. Antennal pectinations distinctive. Anal 

 tuft very white.
