Sub-terminal space narrow, of a more or less decided reddish brown 

 tinge ; the sub-tei*minal line geminate, the two lines enclosing a paler 

 shade ; terminal line black, distinct, regularly undulate ; terminal mar- 

 gin strongly marked; fringes brownish. Posterior wings slightly silky, 

 deep yellow, internal margin and extreme base clothed with long brown- 

 ish hairs; median band black, not much constricted on the disc, taper- 

 ing suddenly to internal margin. Terminal band black, wide, nowhere 

 deeply constricted, terminating ordinarily a little before anal angle.

Of common occurrence. 



I allow the present description to supercede the one given by me on 

 page 88 of the present volume, having received a fine series of this 

 very distinct species from which I have perfected its specific descrip- 

 tion. My figure represents a specimen in which the pasterior discal 

 shade obscures the external defining line of the reniform spot, which 

 latter receives a much larger rounded shape in consequence. 



As I have elsewhere stated, the specimen of this species in the Bri- 

 tish Museum was determined as C. palseogama; Guenee's species is, 

 however, perfectly distinct and difierent from the present. 



SYNEDA, Hiibner. 

 Syneda Howlandii. nov. sp. (Plate 6, fig. 7. 9-) 



Anterior wings brown, wanting the purplish shade of S. yraphica^ 

 Hiib., which the present species resembles in ornamentation, but is 

 much more robust. The transverse anterior line is bi-undate, the me- 

 dian shade oblique, regular, not undulate as in .S'. graphica. The 

 transverse posterior line is similar, but the sub-terminal is quite distinct, 

 brownish. The posterior wings are pale brick red, thus differing greatly 

 from the yellow ones of S. graphica^ while the black bands are much 

 narrower, the terminal one linear, except at the center, where it forms
