Anterior wings sub triangular, the costal margin somewhat strongly convex, the apes subacute, outer 

 margin oblique, inner margin contrnVL-ly sinuate. Costal nervure extending to about two -thirds tlu- length 

 of costal margin ; first and second subcostal uervules emitted close together at about one-fourth before the 

 end of cell, third emitted close to end of ceil, third and fourth bifurcating near apes; upper discoidal 

 nervule emitted at upper end of cell,, lower a little above middle end of cell ; upper disco-cellular 

 nervule oblique and slightly concave, lower disco-cellular concave, obliquely bent outwardly at its 

 lower half; upper median nervule moderately convex aud emitted at end of cell, second rather nearer 

 first thau third, which is emitted a little beyond middle of cell; subuiedian uervure strongly recurved; 

 coll long and brood, extending a little beyond middle of wing. Posterior wings broadly obovate ; 

 costal margin arched at base and then nearly straight, being very slightly oblique; outer margin 

 convex and moderately waved, abdominal margin oblique* Costal nervure convex and extending 

 to near apex, precostal nervure prominent, aud curved and directed outwardly; first subcostal nervule 

 emitted a little beyond middle of cell, second at about end of cell; disco-cellular nervules long and 

 oblique, lower about one-third longer than upper; cell long and extending to about two-thirds the 

 length of wing; upper median nervule slightly convex and emitted from end of cell, second much nearer 

 first than third, which is emitted beyond middle of cell; submedian nervure nearly straight, internal 

 nervure slightly recurved. Body long and robust ; pronotum clothed with long hairs ; head pilose and 

 tufted anteriorly; palpi clothed with long and stiff hairs beneath, the apical joint minute; legs long and 

 slender ; autenme long and gradually thickened into an ill-defined and truncated apical club. 



Hebomoia is a genns of moderate extent, is found in Continental India, Ceylon, the 

 Andaman Islands, and the Malay Peninsula, and is distributed more or less throughout the 

 Malayan Archipelago. Considerable variation ensues in the amount of sexual difference 

 among the species. Thus in H, gtancippe (a species found in this fauna) the female more or 

 less resembles the male, with additional dark markings, but in //. bmwmm and H. celebensis 

 (species whose habitats are denoted by their names) the females are altogether without the red 

 subapical markings to the anterior wings.
