PROCOTES; HESTIOGHORA. By Dr. K. Jordan.

the abdominal bands are red also above. — In auratus Cr. (= auricincta Swinh.), from South India, the auratus. 
abdominal bands are yellow above and the last three segments are laterally black, with the exception of 
the ab. gana Swinh. (If), in which they are laterally red as in nivimamla; thorax and forewing rather gana. 
thickly covered with metallic scales. 
The following three species form Skmper’s genus Ancistroceron (— Pteroceropsis Swinh.). 
C. amabilis spec. nor. (If). Black, head (and probably also the thorax) metallic green-blue; a spot amabilis. 
on the side of the prothorax red; the last three abdominal segments laterally with reddish yellow tufts of 
hair; all the tibiae broad. Forewing elongate, metallic green-blue above, a small glassy spot at. the end of 
the cell; hindwing narrow, small, blue, with glassy spot at the base. Under surface blue-black; forewing 
with two green-blue metallic stripes and hindwing with a small spot of the same colour in the middle; all 
the veins in the forewing from the cell, 1. median much nearer to the angle of the cell than in C. auratus. 
Antenna distally compressed, appearing serrate on the npperside. — One ? from Kalidupa, Toekan Besi 
Islands, to the south-east of Celebes, found by H. Kuhn in January, 1902. 
C. unipuncta Swinh. (lg) is similar to the preceding species; prothorax without red lateral spot; unipuncta. 
abdomen without the yellow-red lateral tufts, but beneath with such a transverse band behind the middle. 
Forewing black, a metallic band at the base and a second at 1 /± of the length; costal margin of the hind¬ 
wing yellowish, vitreous spot larger than in the previous species. —- Borneo. The antennae were described 
by Swinhoe as proximally unipectinate; but they are bipectinated as in amabilis. 
C. glaucon Semp. (lg). Frons, 1. abdominal segment above and 5. beneath yellow. Forewing blue- glaucon. 
spotted; a basal spot, a transverse band as in unipuncta, a spot before the apex of the cell and three before 
the oblique margin; a glassy spot on the discocellular. Hindwing with glassy spot at the base and blue 
spot before the margin. — Mindanao. 
For the two following species the generic name Mydrothaunia Btlr. has been introduced; but the insects 
agree very well with Callizygaena auratus both in structure and in the shape of the wings, even the marking of 
the wdngs is on the whole the same. 
C. semperi Druce (lg). Head and collar red. Forewing green-black, metallic, a green transverse semperi. 
streak near the base and a broad golden band before the middle; hindwing black, with one or two glassy 
spots or without any. — Larva on Myrmecylon tinctorium; black, a large green patch in front and behind, 
tubercles long, yellow with black tips, the broad black median band with entirely black tubercles. Pupal 
stage 8 —13 months; cocoon grey, on a leaf or the tree-trunk. — Luzon. 
C. ada. Velvety black, body with green dots, head and collar red. Forewing with metallic line 
at the base, a thin band before the middle and a broad blue band, which is proximally red or pale gold, 
behind the middle. Hindwing with one or two vitreous patches. — ada Btlr. (lg), from Borneo, has a very ada. 
broad band on the forewing * which extends to the margin. — In jucunda Rothsch., from Batu Island, the jucunda. 
margin of the forewing remains black and the metallic line is placed near to the band; in the hindwing 
are two small vitreous spots, one at the base, the other before the margin. — javana Rothsch. has a still javana. 
more broadly black margin on the forewing, the metallic line has the same position as in ada and the 
hindwing has only one vitreous patch placed at the base. Sukabumi, Java. 
C. albipuncta Hamp.s. (lg). Body glossy green above. Wings green-black; in the forewing a spot aibipuncta. 
near the base, an interrupted narrow band behind the middle and a short band before the apex yellowish 
white, semitransparent. — Ceylon, in the thickest jungle, 6000 ft. The genus Lamprochloe was erected for 
this species by Hampson (1900). 
2. Genus: I*rocotes Btlr. 
Similar to Callizygaena. In the forewing the 1. and 2. subcostals and again the 2. and 3. radials 
stalked; in the hindwing the 2. and 3. radials and 1. median on a common stalk, 1. radial present. — Only 
one species known. 
P. diminuta Walk. (1 h). Body and upper surface of the forewing greenish blue-black, slightly diminuta. 
glossy. In the forewing a basal streak and a small spot at the apex of the cell glassy; hindwing glassy, 
costal and outer margins black. — Ceylon. 
3. Geuns: Hestioeliora Meyr. 
Very near to Callizygaena. Legs much more slender, first tarsal joint longer. Antenna in the & 
with long pectinations, which become gradually shorter from near the base onwards, distal third weakly 
dentate, in the ? the pectinations short. All the veins from the cell, in the hindwing the 1. radial wanting, 
the subcostal partly anastomosed with the costa. — Australia. Small, elegant species, with semitransparent 
hindwings and red or yellow spotted body.
