1. For’e wings of <§ with a large androconia spot on underside below 
costa. On liin d wings an oval androconia spot on underside below v e i n 6. 
H. macrostidsa Hmps. (54 g). Forewings reddish brown, ochreous at margin. Inner line black, oblique, 
undulate, outwardly ochreous yellow. Distally the space above the androconia area grey-yellow. The narrow 
reniform stigma with black edge, with two points behind the lower angle of cell, a black line proceeds from it 
to the inner margin and a further oblique undulate line extends to it from the costa. Outer line double, indistinct, 
outlining the dark inner area. The pale submarginal line with 2 black dots below the costa. Hindwings pale 
reddish brown, ochreous brown towards the centre of outer margin, with darker inner edge. The Q is more 
uniformly grey-brown on forewings, the margin is not paler, median area red-brown. On hindwings the pale 
marginal spot is absent. 35—40 mm. New Guinea. 
H. complens Whr. (== glaucofascia Wkr., onerata Wkr., ruinosa Swh.) (54 g). Forewings reddish brown, 
lilac-grey at margin. Inner line double, dark, oblique, branching off towards the inner margin. Reniform stigma 
as in macrostidsa. Median line double, oblique, anteriorly diffuse, extending to % of inner margin, posteriorly 
on costa a semicircular pale brown spot enclosing a darker spot. Outer line indistinct, double, parallel to margin. 
Submarginal line fine, pale. Hindwings grey-brown. In $ the spot on costa behind the median line is less distinct, 
irregular, the enclosed dark spot situate lower. 35—45 mm. Assam, Tonkin, Sunda Islands. We are illu¬ 
strating a specimen from “East India”, that while it resembles macrostidsa, nevertheless probably belongs here. 
H. stigmata Mr. (= doliertyi Holt.) (55 a). Forewings reddish brown, suffused with lilac. Inner line 
black, oblique, angulated outwards at vein 1. with an ochreous brown band distally. In centre of cell a black 
dot. Reniform stigma as in the preceding, with an oblique arched black median line below. On costa above 
end of cell a black-brown spot with a small ochreous brown spot below its outer edge. Outer line indistinct, 
brown, oblique. The dark submarginal line incurved below vein 4. Hindwings reddish brown with a short dark 
outer band towards the inner margin. In the $ the band distally of the inner line is more reddish, the spot above 
the end of cell smaller, the ochreous brown spot is absent, the outer line is ex curved below the costa. 35—40 mm. 
Andamans, Burn. Solomon Islands. 
2. Wings o f $ w i t h o u t androconi a. 
H. novaguineana B.-Bak. (55 a). Forewings pale reddish brown, somewhat greyish at base and on costa. 
A black quadrate spot on submedian fold in place of the inner line. A black dot in cell. On costa behind the 
cell a large black spot with a hook inwards extending below the cell. A grey outer and submarginal line are 
indicated. Hindwings brown. pallidior Strd. has paler forewings, more ochreous brown. 40 — 50 mm. New 
Guinea. 
H. minima Swh. Forewings uniformly chocolate-brown. Inner line indicated by a brownish spot below 
costa and a quadrate black spot above the inner margin. At end of cell a further quadrate spot with a hook 
below and a brown spot above it. Further a small brown spot at apex and another anteriorly. Hindwings grev- 
brown, paler at base. 32 mm. One $ from the Philippines. 
H. discolor F. (= includens Wkr., complacens Wkr.). Forewings lilac-grey. The spot on the submedian 
fold in discolor is triangular, blackish, with a red-brown band extending to costa. Median area pale ochreous 
grey. Median line red-brown, fine, outwards to centre of cell, then incurved. Outer line dark brown, incurved 
in cell and with a semicircular black spot with a hook inwardly adjoining outwards. Hindwings grey-brown 
with pale bands. There are numerous forms. — delunaris Strd. has no dark spot on submedian fold. devittalis 
Strd. (55 b) has no pale median band, the dark spot is present. - trigonifera Wkr. has a red-brown median 
band. Described from Colombo. - discoloralis Strd. is suffused with blackish proximally of the inner and 
distally of the outer lines; median area reddish brown, inner spot absent. New Guinea. - subdiscoloralis Strd. is 
similar, only the basal and marginal areas are silvery grey. Also described from New Guinea. — expectans Wkr. 
is fawn and fuscous, median area dark brown, the inner spot is absent. Colombo. — frontalis Wkr. is fawn or 
reddish brown. The inner and outer lines and inner spot are absent. On the other hand a brown spot on costa 
merges with the outer spot. Ceylon. — curvifera Wkr. Forewings dark brown, the lines pale and indistinct, 
both spots are absent. — thursdayensis Strd. is grey-brown, median area red-brown, the lines indistinct. Thursday 
Island. — includens Wkr. Forewings rusty brown. The black inner line with dark inner edging, incurved in a 
semicircle below the cell. The outer line is incurved to upper angle of cell, then outwardly behind the lower 
angle of cell, back to it and vertically to inner margin. The inner area between the inner and outer lines contains 
white scales. Ceylon. — 34—44 mm. India, Ceylon, Java, Queensland, Tahiti. — The larva is grey, with 2 
black dorsal dots on first segment, a black diagonal streak on each segment from 3—6 and on 11th segment; 
there is besides a hump on 11th segment; yellowish dorsally at rear, laterally with black streaks, the spiracles 
with red-brown edges. It feeds on Calicarpa maesa. — (Jh,aid ope caunindana Strd. from Formosa is also classi¬ 
fied here.
