to inner margin at inner line; subterminal white, inwardly defined by fuscous, crossed by slight dark streaks 
towards apex and at middle; fringe chequered brown and white; hindwing cupreous brown, whitish at base; 
fringe white and brown. Described from a $ from Christmas Island. 
L. holophaea Hmps. (26 g). Forewing dark brown with a cupreous gloss, irrorated with a few silvery 
blue scales, and with some reddish scales on submedian fold; inner line indistinct, double, erect, and sinuous; 
claviform marked by a black dot at its end; orbicular and reniform indistinctly defined by black, the former 
round; a blackish patch between them extending to costa; an oblique sinuous median line from lower end of 
cell to inner margin; outer line indistinct, double filled in with grey, bent outwards below costa and minutely 
waved, excurved to vein 4, then incurved and excurved in submedian fold; subterminal indistinct, dark, 
minutely waved; some slight black terminal striae; fringe pale with the tips dark; hindwing pale suffused 
with cupreous brown; fringe pale with a dark dividing line. The Naga Hills, Assam. 
91. Genus: Hyperstrotia Hmps. 
Differs from Lithacodia in the thorax and abdomen being without crests, except a minute one on basal 
segment of dorsum; in the absence of an areole in forewing, veins 7, 8, 9 being stalked; lastly in veins 3, 4 
of hindwing being stalked and the costal and subcostal anastomosing for half of cell. Type!/. aetheriaGroteirom 
N. America. 
Sect. I. Forewing with veins 10, 11 closely approximated at base. 
H. molybdota Hmps. (25 o). Forewing pale reddish grey, towards anal angle pure white; lines across 
the pale costal area indistinct; the subbasal and inner slightly darker and oblique outwards, the inner oblique 
inwards below middle; the median area below cell fold deep brown, blackish externally towards outer line and 
reniform stigma which is large, oval and oblique, with white annulus; outer line white, oblique and indistinct 
from costa to vein 6, angled outwards at vein 3, then inwardly oblique; an apical and subapical leaden black 
curved streak separated by a slender white curved line; a rounded blotch between veins 6 and 4 beyond 
outer line; and a lunulate blotch between vein 3 and tornus, the termen below middle being pure white; a 
dark terminal line; fringe white; hindwing brownish grey; a single <$ from the Ivhasia Hills, Assam. 
H. albicincta Hmps. (26 h). Fore wing whitish from base to middle of wing, containing a short curved 
dark subbasal striga; outer line dark, curved, in the middle of a curved violaceous white band; this band is 
preceded by a diffuse purple black shade, extending above middle along costa to base where it narrows off to 
a point; a pale rufous cell spot; a diffuse curved black brown subterminal band wider at costa; a row of black 
terminal striae inwardly defined by white; hindwing brownish, paler basewards. Ivhasia Hills, Assam. 
H. inordinata Walk. (= procrita Swinh.) (26 h). Forewing dark redbrown with blackish irroration; 
basal area suffused with white with a blackish subbasal line, excurved below costa and ending at the blackish 
streak in base of submedian fold; inner line blackish, waved from costa to submedian fold, then incurved with 
a blackish band on its inner edge; a diffused white band beyond it, oblique from costa to lower angle of cell, 
then incurved; a V-shaped black mark on end of median vein and base of vein 2; a slight black discoidal 
lunule on a diffused white patch; outer line blackish, outwardly defined by white, slightly outbent below 
costa and incurved below 4; subterminal line white, with black streaks beyond it in the interspaces from 
below apex to vein 4; a row of terminal black points; fringe grey brown, chequered with fuscous towards 
apex, and with a dark line towards tips; hindwing dark reddish brown; fringe with an ochreous basal line; 
in the ab. subtincta ab. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) (26 h) the white areas are suffused with violaceous brown. 
The type from Sarawak, Borneo; that of procrita Swinh. from the Ivhasia Hills, Assam; also recorded from 
Siam, and Bali. 
H. meeki Beth.-Baker (26 h). Forewing pale red brown; the basal area mixed with white; the inner 
area with some chocolate brown in cell; the median area chocolate brown in and below cell; subbasal line white 
to vein 1; inner line white, very indistinct, incurved in cell and ending at vein 1; orbicular stigma a white 
dot; reniform round, slightly defined by white; outer line white, inwardly edged with chocolate brown, slightly 
excurved below vein 6, at middle, and vein 1; outer area purplish fuscous irrorated with white between veins 
6 and 1; subterminal line white, subobsolete at costa, excurved at middle and incurved at vein 2, with
