HESPERIID.E. 



Indian Museum, Calcutta. The latter specimen was submitted for determi- 

 nation to Mr. F. Moore, who pronounced it to be a variety of //. hadra, but I 

 believe it to be a good species. 



" Expanse, $ , 2'1 inches. Sikkim, Khasi Hills." [de Niceville, I. c.) 



Occurs at Kwei-chow, Omei-shan, Pu-tsu-fong, Moupin, and Chia-kou-ho 

 in Western China ; also at Chang-yang and Kiukiang in Central China. 



Chinese specimens of this species are larger but do not differ materially 

 from Sikkim specimens in Moller's collection, now in my possession, or from 

 the types as figured by de Niceville. The subapical spots on primaries of 

 male vary in number from one to three, but in the female there appear to be 

 always three.

Type, benjamini, Guerin. 



" Anterior wings subtriangTilar, costal margin arched at base, oOter margin obliquely convex, 

 inner margin nearly straight. Costal nervurc terminating on costal margin nearly opposite 

 end of cell ; fourth and fifth subcostal ncrvules emitted somewhat close together near end of 

 cell ; discocellular nervulcs almost suboqual in length, and obliciuely directed inwardly ; base 

 of second median nervule about twice as far apart from tliat of the lower as from that of the 

 upper median nervule. Posterior wings elongate, more or less lobately produced at anal 

 angh'. iSubcostal nervules bifurcating at about one third bi'forc end of cell ; first and secoiid 

 median nervulcs with an apparently common origin at eud of cell. Body very robust; palpi 

 broad, flattened, and coarsely pilose, apical joint long, naked and cylindrical ; antenna) with 

 the apex long, curved, and slender ; femora pilose. 



" This genus appears to be truly Oriental in distribution ; it is allied to 

 I.wirnr, l)ut a])art from other structural diaracters the males have no 'glandular 

 j)at( li of raised scales' on the anterior wings, as is found in species of Is'))U'tu'."

"Antenna': club luodcrntc, aboul as long as shaft, crescent -siiaped, not bciil into a hook; very 

 similar to those of Inmene, but less robust and with a longer shaft. Foic wing : no discal 

 liraiid in male ; inner and outer margins subctpial; cell just more tlian two tliirds the length 

 of cost a ; vein 12 reaching cost a before end of cell ; vein 5 iicnnr to (i llian to 1; upper

 line, the lower the longer; vein ;5 three times as far from l)ase of wing as from end of cell. 

 Hind wing produced inio a hjbo ; vein 7 twice as Jar I'idiu ^ as lioin (! ; discoccllulars very
