wing above at the costal margin broadly blackish, at the inner and distal margins irregularly suffused with 
dark grey and with two eye-spots in cellules 2 and 3. The under surface is light whitish yellow, irregularly 
and finely irrorated with brown, and bears an irregularly sinuate brown median line, projecting distad at vein 
4, thickened in places and on the forewing forming a large dark spot at the end of the cell: the eye-spots 
are all small or punctiform. Madagascar. 
H. antahala Ward (28d). Wings above unicolorous black-grey; the forewing with a white-pupilled and antdhala. 
yellowish-bordered eye-spot in the middle of cellule 2; the hindwing shortly toothed at the extremities of veins 
2—4 and with 2 or 3 small eye-spots in cellules 2—4. The under surface has the ground-colour white; the 
basal area is bounded by a sinuous dark brown median line and is shaded with rather dense, dark brown 
transverse striae also in the anterior part of the distal area of the forewing; forewing with two eye-spots in 
cellules 2 and 5, hindwing with 6, the one in cellule 6 being the largest and of the same size as that in 
cellule 2 of the forewing, those in cellules 2 and 3 but little smaller; the eye-spots all stand out very sharply 
against the white ground, have white pupils, a thick red-yellow inner ring and a fine black-brown outer one; 
before the distal margin on both wings two black lines. Madagascar. 
H. avelona Ward (28 e). Forewing with the distal margin entire and almost straight, hindwing with avelona. 
two teeth or lobes of the same size at the ends of veins 2 and 3, but at vein 4 not or only much more 
weakly toothed. The hindwing on both surfaces without eye-spots; the forewing as usual with two eye-spots, 
of which that in cellule 2 is large and that in cellule 5 very small. Both wings above dark brown, the 
hindwing broadly grey at the distal margin. Both wings beneath brown-grey finely irrorated with red-brown; 
the red-brown median line is nearly straight from the costal margin of the forewing to vein 2 of the hind- 
wing and distally more or less broadly margined with yellow; at the base of the teeth on the hindwing are 
placed on the under surface triangular black-brown spots, proximaily bordered by a bluish transverse line. Madagascar. 
H. parvidens Mab. agrees in shape and markings with the preceding species and only differs in having parvidens. 
the teeth on the hindwing shorter and broader and adorned on both surfaces with a triangular dark red spot: 
the under surface is much darker, with denser striation and without light bordering to the median line; the 
blue transverse line before the distal margin of the hindwing is also entirely absent Madagascar. 
H. ankoma Mab. (28d). Distal margin of the forewing undulate and at vein 5 distinctly angled; the ankoma. 
hindwing shortly toothed at veins 2—4; the tooth at vein 4 somewhat longer than those at veins 2 and 3. 
Both wings above unicolorous deep black-brown, the forewing in cellule 2 with a black, blue-pupilled eye- 
spot. The under surface is dark violet-brown densely marbled with brown, in the marginal area lighter and 
more violet; the forewing with two, the hindwing with 6 or 7 eye-spots, of which those in cellules 2 and 6 
are larger and placed further from the distal margin than the rest. Madagascar. 
Third Group. 
Both wings above almost black with blue reflection and entirely without eye-spots. Distal margin of both wings 
entire; that of the forewing straight or only slightly curved. The species of this group are little known and very much alike, 
so that they can only be distinguished by trifling underside characters. Whether these distinguishing marks are really constant 
can only be decided by comparing a number of examples. All the species come from the primeval forests of Madagascar 
and measure 42—47 mm. 
H. cingulina Mab. Both wings beneath with a yellowish-bordered eye-spot in cellule 2 and with cingulina. 
yellowish-margined median line, but without white dots. Madagascar. 
H. perdita Btlr. Both wings beneath with an eye-spot in cellnle 2: the hindwing with white dots perdita. 
between the costal margin and the eye-spot. Madagascar. 
H. wardi Mab. Forewing beneath without eye-spot in cellule 2. Both wings beneath uniform brown- wardi. 
black to the distal margin; the hindwing in cellule 2 with a very small eye-spot, placed only 2 mm. from the 
distal margin; in the other cellules only with white dots. Madagascar. 
H. narova Mab. Forewing without eye-spot in cellule 2: the eye-spot in cellule 2 of the hindwing is narova. 
placed 3 mm. from the distal margin. The wings beneath sprinkled with ochre-yellow scales at least in the 
hasal part. Madagascar.
