a series on the fringe blackish : femora black above ; tibije and tarsi banded with black.

This species has the general coloration of H. striyosa of Europe, but the separation of 
the primaries into two distinct areas, light and dark, and the far superior size would be 
sufficient to distinguish it at a glance, apart from the many diflerences in pattern which 
characterize it. 
Hyboma umbrifera. (Plate CXXVI. fig. 1.) 
Pale brown : basal fourth of primaries dark cupreous brown, bounded externally by the 
inner black line of the central belt which occupies the central two fourths of the wing, and is 
bounded externally by an irregular arched and sinuated black line, acutely projected on first 
median interspace, below which it turns abruptly backwards and then transversely to the 
inner margin, so as to leave a quadrate pale patch at external angle ; the lower third of the 
central belt to above the projecting portion blackish brown ; a distinct, oblique, black dash 
from the costa to the reniform spot ; both the discoidal spots large, pale brown with whitish 
margins and brown edges ; the oi'bicular " spot almost triangular, the "reniform" spot 
8-shaped ; a black spot edged with silver-grey near base of interuo-mediaa area, and an 
oblique, similarly-coloured dash beyond it, but below the submedian vein ; a black longitudinal 
dash at about the middle of the external border; outer margin slenderly black ; fringe white, 
tipped with brown : secondaries shining, with a pale cupreous lustre ; basi-costal area whitish : 
body whitish brown, the collar traversed by a black line. Under surface of wings pale 
shining cupreous brown; the secondaries with an oblique dash at the end of the cell, and an 
arched denticulated discal stripe blackish : body below whity brown, the palpi and legs 
slightly testaceous. Expanse of wings 33 millim.

Mr. Hocking only obtained one specimen of this very singular and distinct species.
