the marking similar as on forewing, but finer. Apex obtusely projecting on the forewing, distal margin 
concave below the middle. Hindwing somewhat dentate at vein 7. 20 mm. New Guinea. 
H. tessellatus Swh. Ground-colour greyish-white. Anterior half of forewing with a pale brown hue. tessellatus. 
A black spot at the lower cell-angle and a smaller one at the upper angle are connected by a bar. Anterior half 
of the forewing with brown striae. Posterior half and the whole hindwing with uninterrupted parallel lines 
from the inner margin of the hindwing to its costal margin and in the anal part of the fore wing to the middle 
of the distal margin. Besides 2 white lines on the forewing at the margin and before it, on the hindwing in 
and behind the centre. Eorewing concave below the apex as far as vein 4, then very oblique. Hindwing with 
a pointed apex and straight distal margin. 28 to 34 mm. Sumatra. 
H. cossoides Warr. Forewing reddish-yellow, wine-brown at the costal margin and at the base of the cossoides. 
inner margin, with irregular striae and a cellular streak, fine marginal dots between the veins, all wine-brown. 
Hindwing similar. Costal margin of forewing concave in the middle, curved before the pointed apex, distal 
margin concave. Apex of hindwing obtuse-rectangular. $ 50 mm. St. Aignan. 
H. aerarius van Eecke (91 h). According to the description the ground-colour is reddish coppery with aerarius. 
fine dark reticulate lines. On the forewing two rows of lighter brown spots are left free. Hindwing almost light 
brown with two ramifications of brown bands. (The original figure looks quite different.) 17—20 mm. Sumatra. 
H. venustus van Eecke (91 i). Ground-colour light yellow, marking rusty brown. A rusty brown spot venustus. 
at the base. A line of the ground-colour penetrates into the median band at the costal margin. A larger spot 
at the anal angle, with 2 black marginal dots at the lower end. Median band continued on the hindwing, and 
the anal spot as an apical spot on the hindwing; it contains some black dots. $ 18 mm. Sumatra. 
11. Genus: ISctousa Wkr. 
Forewing oblong, suddenly curved before the apex, straight or concave before it. Distal margin curv¬ 
ed, more oblique in the lower part. Hindwing longer than broad, apex projecting, rounded. Antennae of d 
slightly thickened basally. Hind tibiae with 4 long thin spurs. 
B. dilecta Wkr. (== aspirans Warr., gigantea Pagst.) (91 i). Forewing reddish-yellow, with blackish- dilccla. 
brown somewhat incomplete reticulate lines, oblique dark streaks at the costal margin. A black undulate line 
from x / 5 of costal margin to % of inner margin, less distinct in front. An indistinct oblique undulate line from 
the inner margin close behind it extends to below the costal margin behind the cellular spot; the enclosed area 
dark brown. A brown shadow begins narrow at % of costal margin and widens towards the anal angle; edged 
on both sides with lighter reddish-yellow. An oval cellular spot of dark scales, a round hyaline spot be¬ 
fore it in the cell only in the <$. Hindwing pale reddish-yellow at the base; the curved median band brown, 
broader at the costal margin, reddish-yellow behind it and darker at the margin. 52 mm. New Guinea, 
Salomons Is. — Sic. gigantea Pagst., from Ternate, is presumably only a rubbed specimen of the same species. 
12. Genus: fSupalomiina gen. nov. 
Palpi short, antennae filiform. Abdomen reaching scarcely to the end of the hindwing. Wings broad. 
Forewing projects at the distal margin at veins 4 and 5, more concave below it in the genotype, with a sharp 
anal angle. Veins 2 and 3 arise far back, 4 and 5 from the lower cell-angle, 6 far below the upper cell-angle, 
7 + 8 stalked, arising with 9 almost from the same base. Hindwing: veins 3, 4 and 5 arise at equal distances, 
6 and 7 distantly separated. In spite of the quite different neuration, the species were hitherto ranged under 
Rhodoneura. Type: guttata Christ. (Vol. II, pi. 50 f) from Eastern Asia. The typical species occurs in the Indo- 
Australian region in a form very similar to guttata-lucidulina Pouj .: 
B. hypoxantha Hmps. (91 i). Body and wings violettish-black. Forewing with indistinct yellow spots hypoxan- 
in the basal half. A large white hyaline spot with dark reticulate lines in and below the cell-end. A submar¬ 
ginal white spot at vein 5. A white spot at the base and behind the cell on the hindwing. 26—28 mm. Assam, 
Burma, Sikkim. 
The following two species only with a feeble angle on the forewing. 
B. tristis Hmps. Body and wings red-brown, uniformly striated dark. Basal area yellowish. Fore- tristis. 
wing with a faded darker median band and white dots at the costal margin near the apex. Hindwing with 
3 indistinct parallel-curved bands. The $ is intensely blackened above. 24—26 mm. Assam, Sikkim. 
B. kwantungensis sp. n. (91 i) may be only a form of tristis. Forewing with hyaline spots at the cell- kwan- 
end and behind it, similar to hypoxantha. The dark band below it to the inner margin somewhat more distinct tungensis 
than in tristis-<$, bordered by two narrow light bands. Basal area also as light as in tristis, otherwise dark brown
