forewing with the costa and apex diminishing towards the anal angle, 

 and the whole of the Mndwing clothed with greenish- ochreous scales. 

 Forewing marked as above. Hindwing with two or three small pale 

 opaque spots on the disc. Cilia cinereous, tipped with darker at the end 

 of the nervules. 



Expanse : d', 1-4 to 1-5 inches. 



Hab. — Sikkim. 



Near to H. kumara, mihi, differs somewhat in shape, the forewing 

 being narrower and more produced at the apex, the subapical spots 

 smaller. On the underside in H. gupta there are some pale spots on the 

 disc of the hindwing, which are absent in H. kumara. The shade of the 

 ground-colour is also quite different : in H. kumara, it is golden brown, 

 in H. gupta, greenish- ochreous. The sexual mark is rather prominent. 

 Mr. Otto MoUer has obtained several male specimens in Sikkim.

There are two specimens of this very pretty and distinct species in 

 Mr. Otto Moller's collection, obtained by his native collectors probably 

 at high elevations in Sikkim near the passes. It is unlike any hesperid 

 known to me.
