HASORA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
vein is very feeble, obliquely distally. Hind tibiae without hairy fringes with 2 pah’ of spurs. Larvae beautifully 
variegated; on the greenish ground there extend parallel dorsal lines at the sides of which there are square spots; 
head often shield-shaped, of a bright red or yellow with face-like markings. Pupa without a case of the proboscis 
projecting beyond the anal end. It yields the imago mostly after 2 to 4 weeks. The lepidoptera have a swift 
whizzing flight and habits like Heterocera. They begin to drink from the flowers in the evening and are often 
captured at the lantern. Most of them are not rare at their habitats. 
ha dr a. H. badra Mr. (= quadrimaculata Mob.). <$ above quite brown or with but faint traces of small 
preapical spots. But the 9 has 3 rather large discal hyaline spots situate in a triangle. Beneath the hindwing 
is dark chestnut-brown, in the distal third lighter, with 2 small light spots in the cell and before the anal lobe, 
godana. which are sometimes hazy and indistinct. India and Ceylon. — go dan a Fruhst., from Formosa, is said to be 
larger and darker, and the $$ exhibit at the submedian of the forewing a large yellowish-hyaline spot. — 
gncieus. gnaeus Plotz (165 i), from the Philippines and Palawan, shows the anal portion of the hindwing much less 
produced than Indians do, and very large white oval spots on the hindwing beneath. But by no means all the 
certhia. Pliilippinic badra are so; Plotz figures by the name of certhia. in 8 figures, specimens with a very pointed anal 
portion of the $ hindwing, with small spots beneath being almost obsolete in the $, labelled ’’Philippines”, 
Coll. ”Keferstein“. The larva and pupa which are likewise figured do not differ from those of Indian badra. — 
cclebica. celebica Stgr. are specimens from Celebes, which differ so little from gnaeus that Mabille unites them. - 
quadrimaculata Mab., founded upon specimens from the Moluccas, was later on treated as a synonym by the 
modatta. author himself. — modatta Fruhst. (165 i) are specimens from Java exhibiting a more abundant violet reflection 
sankarya. beneath and larger hyaline spots on the forewing of the $. — sankarya Fruhst., from Engano, Bawean, Bali, 
Lombok, and Sumbawa, resembles the Javanese form, but it is darker, the hyaline spots of the forewing are 
smaller, the spots on the hindwing beneath more indistinct. — Larva beautifully light greenish-yellow with a 
black defined dorsal line and finer dark subdorsal lines. Laterally there are dark square spots leaving free 
one segment each; between them there are fine transverse lines. Head red with a face-like marking, ventrum 
reddish-ochreous. It lives on Pongamia volubilis between leaves that are loosely spun together. Pupa yellowish- 
brown with a white hue, yielding the imago after 2 weeks, but the larvae are often infested by Ichneumonids. 
jenesirata. • H. fenestrata Fruhst. is unknown to me; described by Fruhstorfer according to a water-colour 
sketch by Mabille. wing-contours similar as in badra, but analwards still more strangulated and 
tapering. Above distally dark brown, towards the base somewhat lighter. Forewing with 2 small yellowish- 
white hyaline discal maculae. Beneath as in simplicissima Mab. from Batjan and Celebes, but much lighter 
red-brown with a light purple reflection. Hindwing beneath with a yellow oblong anal spot and a similar one 
obliquely above it. Between them the usual black anal spot before the tail-lobe. From the Minahassa. 
anura. H. anura Nic. (Vol. I, pi. 89 b). This form having been dealt with in the palearctic part (Vol. I, 
p. 341) occurs not only in China but also in North India, from where it was even described first. The fact 
that the anal lobe is so much shorter as to justify the name ,,anura“ probably does not apply to all the speci- 
wortha. mens. — worth a Swh. (165 i) is somewhat smaller than northern specimens, and the under surface 
almost like the upper surface dark brown, the markings of the hindwing entirely darkened. West Java. — 
tantra. Also tantra Fruhst., from the Isle of Nias, is darker and also with narrower wings than the typical form, separated 
from wortha by the darker shading of the distal portions of all the wings. An indistinct, but recognisable light 
median band of the hindwing terminates below in a long purely white spot. In the black anal spot of the 
avajea. hinclwing another lighter patch. — avajea Fruhst. is above still deeper blackish-brown, beneath the median 
band of the hind wing is whitish, more distinct than in tantra', beneath in the distal portion of the wings a 
distinct violet reflection. Sumbawa. • • 
umbrina. H. umbrina Mab. (= habroa Swh.) (166 a) differs from wortha only in the shape of the wings and 
in exhibiting here an indistinct, hardly noticeable brightening instead of the basally more distinctly defined 
brightening which replaces the band of the hindwing on the under surface on most of the Hasora. Described 
from Celebes, but it also occurs in Batjan in slightly smaller specimens. 
Icucospila. H. leucospila Mab. (168 a) is allied to anura, but it has 4 broad velvet stripes on the median branches 
and the submedian of the forewing. Above dark brown. Bases of both wings densely haired; head and thorax 
clothed with greenish hair. Palpi yellowish-brown, abdomen dark brown, with yellow rings. Beneath the forewing 
exhibits a subapical, indistinct, not very long white diffuse spot powdered with violet. Hindwing brown with 
2 more or less prominent whitish subanal maculae that are separated by a square black spot. Under surface 
very similar to anura, but with whitish blue-scaled subanal maculae instead of yellowish splashes. Easily 
matisca. discernible from anura by the scent-stripes of the Celebes. — matisca Fruhst., from Bazilan, is larger and 
7 Hernia, above lighter, beneath with the brightest blue reflection. — pamia Fruhst. is the smallest, beneath darkest 
form; from Borneo. 
mixta. H. mixta Mab. ( = philetas Plotz ) (166 a) is very similar to the two preceding ones, without a distinct 
anal lobe, and on both sides almost uniformly dark sepia-brown, recognisable by a long, comma-shaped sexual
