Hotinus FULVIROSTRIS. 
Niger ; caput fulvum thorace paullo brevius ; prothorax lituris 
marginalibus albidis aut testaceis ; mesothoracis discus plus 
minusve testaceus aut albidus ; abdomen testaceum aut albidum, 
fasciis incompletis nigricantibus; ale antice fascits quatuor 
ee macularibus albidis aut straminee ; postice basi 
albide. 
Black. Head tawny, abruptly curved and ascending, a little 
shorter than the body, blackish on each side at the base. Prothorax 
with some dingy whitish or testaceous marks on each side. Meso- 
thorax more or less testaceous or whitish in the disk; hind border 
and abdomen whitish or testaceous, the latter with some irregular 
and incomplete blackish bands. Fore wings with about twenty 
whitish or straw-coloured spots and dots, some of them connected, 
forming four very irregular bands. Hind wings white, or dingy 
whitish towards the base. Levgth of the body 13 lines; of the 
Wings 28 lines. 
Hotinus may be divided into two groups, H. candelarius being 
the type of the first, and JZ. clavatus the type of the second. The 
first group will form two subgroups; the first containing H., cande- 
larius and others; the second with H. maculatus and the present 
species, which are distinguished by the much curved and ascending 
horns of their heads and by the hind wings, where the pale colour 
blends more or less with the black borders, whereas in the first sub- 
Fae orange and the black of the hind wings are clearly 
defined, 
a,b. Ceylon. From Mr, Cuming’s collection.
