2. Histia Selene. 



Ala obscure virides, aneo-micantes ; antica valde producta, sublan- 

 ceolatce ; postica medio macula magna alba, limbo virescente, 

 subtus alee omnes basi rubra ; pectus et abdomen subtus rubra 

 annulata ; antennae virides, pectinate. 



Chalcosia Selene, Kollar, Kaschmir von Von Hugel, 463, 6. 



Probably a variety of H . flabellicomis ; the white band of the 

 hind wings being the only apparent difference. 



a. Java. Presented by the East India Company. 



3. Histia vacillans. 



Foem, Nigra ; corpus subtus, caput, thorax anticus, et abdominis 

 fascia rufa ; antenna virides ; alee anticce apices versus cine- 

 reo strigata, postica vix attenuates, fascia lata arcuata alba. 



This species seems equally allied to Hystia and to Gynautocera* 

 which two genera should probably be reunited. 



Fern. Black. Body beneath, head, thorax in front and bands 

 of the abdomen red. Antennae green. Fore wings with gray 

 streaks towards the tips. Hind wings slightly angular but hardly 

 attenuated at the tips, with a broad curved white band. Length of

 acuminatus. Antennae setaceae, maris dense et late pectinatae, fee- 

 mince mediocriter pectinatae. Abdomen depressum, fcemina alarum
