locality, labelled “H. montana Brun., paratype.” I was 
unable to separate this from oyaca: the eyes are hairy, 
the frons broad, the wings with two submarginal cells 
and the alula of normal width. The male allotype of 
oyaca is at the Indian Museum, Calcutta.

The female holotype is at the Berlin Museum. I owe to 
the generosity of Mr. Lichtwardt a beautiful color sketch 
which he made of the type. It shows clearly the much 
narrowed alula and the adjoining axillary cell also nar- 
rower than usual. 
Lichtwardt plainly stated in the paragraph preceding 
the description of H. coffeata that “the species which fol- 
low [viz., H. coffeata, H. brunnea and H. orientalist have 
wholly bare eyes.” This was unfortunately overlooked by 
Brunetti, so that he wrongly included in his key (1920) 
both brunnea and coffeata among the species with pubes- 
cent eyes.

I have seen a female cotype at the British Museum. The 
alula is distinctly narrowed, though not as much as in Mr. 
Lichtwardt’s sketch of H. coffeata. 1 According to the 
description, H. brunnea is a much smaller species than 
H. coffeata (wing 11 mm. long, about as long as the body, 
without the ovipositor, in brunnea; wing 24 mm. long and 
5.5 mm. wide, much longer than the body, without the 
ovipositor, in coffeata) . In addition, the pubescence of 
1 Miss D. Aubertin, who at my request examined once more the alula 
of the Oriental Hirmoneura? at the British Museum, writes me that 
in the type of H. brunnea the alula is “very narrow.”
