Hypena belinda. (Plate LVI. fig. 3.) 
Primaries fuliginous brown^ reticulated with blackish and mottled with silvery grey 
beyond the middle ; a broad regular transverse reddish-brown belt terminating at the middle 
of the wing, where it is bounded by a silvery-grey line ; a white subapical spot and a marginal 
series of black dots : secondaries paler than the primaries, immaculate : body pale brown, 
abdomen with whitish segmental lines. Under surface pale whitish brown ; primaries rather 
darker than the secondaries, with white subapical spot ; secondaries with a dusky discocellular 
spot, and traces of two arched lines parallel to the outer margin. Expanse of wings 1 inch to 
1 inch 2 lines. 
Yokohama {Jonas). 
Much like H. iconicalis, but differing considerably in its much more slender and 
shorter palpi. 
GISIRA, Walker. 
Gisira signata, (Plate LVI. fig. 4.) 
Greyish brown ; wings crossed at the middle by a pale-edged darker straight line ; an 
interrupted black marginal line : primaries crossed at the basal fourth by an irregular deeply 
sinuated dusky streak, darkest upon the costa, and with a pale internal edge •, a black dot, 
close to the latter, within the cell ; a whitish-edged black >-shaped marking at the end of 
the cell, above which the central dusky line becomes wider and dark ; a transverse subapical 
costal blackish fasciole, white-edged externally : secondaries with an ill-defined dusky discal 
belt parallel to the outer border ; head and thorax rather darker than the abdomen. Wings 
below paler than above, crossed by two subparallel sinuated pale-bordered dusky discal lines ; 
discocellulars blackish ; secondaries sordid white, irrorated with greyish brown, the borders of 
the lines white : body greyish brown. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines.

Allied to G. acclamalis. The genus Gisira, excepting in its long slender palpi, much 
resembles the Noctuid genus Toxocampa, to which it may ultimately prove to be allied; the 
palpi are, however, much longer than in any genus of Toxocampida hitherto known. 
HORMISA, Walker. 
Hormisa plusioides. (Plate LVI. fig. 5.) 
Primaries silvery grey ; a subcuneiform dusky costal patch at the base, followed by an 
oblique elbowed dusky line ; an irregularly pentagonal dusky costal patch over the end of the 
cell, followed by an angulated and oblique black discal line, which widens below the angle into 
a black-edged yellowish-brown stripe terminating upon the centre of the inner margin ; a 
subapical dusky costal dash interrupted by four white dots upon the costal margin, and
