58 (1). Disc of hind wing above with a large suffused or well-defined 



yellow patch traversed by the brown veins.

vein 5 therefore arising much nearer to vein 4 than to vein 6. 



A sex-mark on the fore wing above decorata, Moore.

Of H. ormenes, Weymer, described from Nias, I have two doubtful specimens from 

 Pulo Laut and one from Bali which differ from zema only in the smaller size of 

 the spots on fore wing. As, however, a Tavoy specimen is intermediate in this 

 respect and a specimen in coll. Staudinger from Borneo is nearer to zema than to 

 ormenes, we prefer to treat is as an inconstant variety of zema.
