divided by a highly irregular blackish fascia which is broken at the third
median ncrvule ; an indistinct oehreous cloud across and beyond the end
of the cell; some whitish spots on the margin towards the apex.
UNDERSIDE, both wings with a highly irregular narrow discal brown
line extending across the surface, commencing above the anal angle of the
hindwing and ending in a rather broad dark fascia at the costa of the fore-
wing. Foreman whitish, the inner margin very broadly exteudinghalf
way across the diseoidal cell pale oehreous ; an oblique brown band across
the middle of the cell, a short one at the end of the cell; the white
band of the upperside indistinctly defined, but the two black spots
divided by the first median nervule distinct but smaller than on the
uppersidc. Himlwz'ng whitish mottled and clouded with pale oehreous-
brown; an oval conspicuous brown spot in the middle of the cell placed
against the subcostal ncrvurc. FEMALE shaped and marked precisely as
in the male, and can only be distinguished therefrom by the stouter
abdomen and the structure of the forelegs.
Nearest to H. schoenbergi, Staudinger,fie from South-East Borneo, from which it appears to differ in the forewing in the discal White band being broader and continuous throughout, in II. schocnbergi it is broken up into a double series of spots, the outer series is white, the inner pale oehreous; in the hindwing the discal white hand in H. priagmzdani is placed much farther from the outer margin than in H. sclwenbergi. and the black fascia it bears is strongly broken and dislocated in the middle, while in H. sclwenbergi the white discal band approaches much nearer the margin, and the black fascia across the band is continuous throughout and divides the band nearly equally; lastly, there is a small round black spot in the middle of the first median interspacc in II. schoenbergi which is wholly wanting in H. pringomlcm-i.
Described from one male and two females reCeived from Mr. H. Fruhstorfer, to whose courtesy I am indebted for a copy of his descrip- tion of the species, which reached me just in time to enable me to sub- stitute his name for the one I had proposed for this interesting Hermie.

if Heronu schoenbergi, Standinger, Iris, vol. iii, p. 337, n. 3, pl. iii, fig. 3 (1890) ; vol. iv, p. 84: (1891). The figure is probably taken from a female specimen. This may be the species referred to by Mr. \V. Doherty in J ourn. A. S. B., vol. lviii, pt. 2, p. 122 (1889) thus -.——“Eulhal-iu (Felde'ria) macnairi, Distant, is mimicked by a new and remarkable species of Heron“ (1') of which both sexes were taken by me in Borneo, and are now in Mr. Ncluuocgen’s possession.”
