136 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWARDS : 



Odina hieroglyphica. 



Plastingia hieroglyphica, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1870, p. 511; id. Lep. Exot. p. 171, 



pi. lix. fig. 12 (1874) ; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 470, pi. xliv. fig. 25. 

 Odina chrysomelcena, Mabille, Comptes Rendus Soc. Ent. Belg. p. cxiii (1891), fide Watson. 



Hind wing above orange-yellow, with a brown band from the middle of the costa to 

 the tornus ; this band gives off in cell 6 a Y-shaped branch to join the brown terminal 

 band, and in cell 2 a simple branch to the same band, the large discal yellow spot is 

 therefore triangular ; the space between the lower edge of the cell and the dorsum 

 brown, with two yellow spots, one near the middle of cell 1 b, and one near the apical 

 third of cell Iff. Fore wing: yellow spots in cells 2 and 3 forming, when taken 

 together, an oblique suboval spot divided by vein 3 ; that in cell 3 triangular, that in 

 cell 2 not or scarcely reaching vein 2. These particulars are taken from the type 

 specimen from Borneo in the collection of Messrs. Godman and Salvin. 



The 0. hieroglyphica of the British Museum collection has the hind wing above 

 brown, with a large bright yellow spot near the middle of cell 6 : this may be an 

 extreme variation of the true 0. hieroglyphica, Butl., but we have had no opportunity 

 to compare the two insects with the view of deciding this point.

Odina cuneiforms. 



Plastingia cuneiformis, Semper, Schmett. Pliilipp. p. 314, pi. xlix. fig. 11, 6 (1892). 



Hind wing above orange-yellow ; the space between the lower edge of the cell and 

 vein 2 and the dorsum brown, except in the apical fourth, and bearing a yellow streak 

 in cell 1 a, and a roundish yellow spot near the middle of cell 1 b; from the middle of 

 the costa to the base of vein 2 a straight brown band, which gives off in cell 6 an 

 irregularly Y-shaped branch to join the brown terminal band, from the apex of vein 5 

 to the apical third of vein 2 an irregular widening brown band, the large yellow discal 

 spot is therefore irregularly four-sided. Fore wing : hyaline spots in cells 2 and 3 

 forming a short regular yellow band from the middle of vein 2 to the base of vein 4. 



These particulars are taken from Herr Semper's type specimen from Mindoro.

! Odina decoratus. 



Eudamus decoratus, Hewitson, Descr. Hesp. p. 17 (1867). 



Pterygospidea decoratus, id. Ex. Butt. vol. v. pi. Pterygospidea, fig. 2 (1873). 



Entheus bicolor, Oberthur, Etudes d'Ent. xvii. p. 14, pi. iv. fig. 36, 6 (1893). 



Hab. Sylhet, Java {fide Hewitson) ; Garo hills {fide de Niceville) ; East Pegu 

 {Boherty) ; Tonquin {coll. Oberthur). 



We have not seen the female of this species, which seems to be unknown.
