Borbachodes gen. nov. 



Resembles Borhacha Mooie, having like that genus unipecfinate antennae iu 

 the <?, but characterised by the presence of a small bladdery pustule between 

 the submedian vein and the inner margin at about one-fifth from the base. 



T\'pe : B. pardalis Feld. (Anisodes). 



Syntaracta gen. nov. 



Allied to Syiiegia Gueu., but the pectinations of the <S antennae are considerably 

 more developed, and the wings are wholly without trace of the peculiar pustule 

 which forms the distinguishing characteristic of that genus. The markings are also 

 much more complex. 



Ty|ie : Syntaracta hadassa Hutlcr (Anisodes). 



Syntaracta aemula sp. nov. 

 Wings pale ochreous, quite sparsely mottled with dull ferruginous ; co.sta slightly 

 darker, esjiecially at base, and metallic ; lines obsolete in their u])per half, or nearly 

 so, edged below with dark brown ; the second line in the middle connected by a 

 thick dark brown blotch with the hindmargiu ; a smaller, dark brown, subapical 

 blotch ; submarginal line ferruginous ; fi-inge pale with dark black brown dashes 

 at the base between the veins, whicii are followed by darker spaces in the fringe. 

 Hindwings the same; the first line showing only as a brown blotch on the inner 

 margin ; the subapical blotch larger than in the forewings. In one ? this blotch 

 is continued across the submarginal and second band so as to unite with the inner 

 margin, and in the forewings the lower half of the space between the second and sub- 

 marginal lines is dark greyish fuscous. Underside paler and duller. In the markings 

 of the head, thorax, and abdomen this species resembles imitaria Wlk., but I can 

 hardly consider it a form of that sjjecies ; it is always smaller and paler ; and the 

 obsolescence of the lines towards the costa forms a good distingiiisliiiig point.

Syntaracta obscura s]i. uo\-. 



Invariably larger and duller than examples of imitaria Wlk., from Ceylon ; 

 costa of forewings dark fuscous, but not metallic; the two lines both thicker; 

 the dark submarginal fascia always distinct. Underside in particular much duller, 

 with the markings very inconspicuous.

Syntaracta ocellata sp. nov. 

 Ground colour bright yellowish ochreous, mottled with orange, with the 

 markings fuscous grey ; costa fuscous grey ; basal hne curved, thick, fuscous 

 grey, with three black dots on its inside edge, on the subco.stal, median, and 

 submedian veins respectively; second line, like first, from three-fourths of costa 

 to two-thirds of inner margin, with dark spots on its outer edge on all the 

 veins, making it ajipear denticulated ; a dark fuscous irregular submarginal 

 fa.seia, followed by a ]>ale submarginal line; hindmargin with three small dark 

 fuscous jjatches; fringe mottled, fuscous and bright ochreous, with a row of small 

 dark dots between the veins at the base. Hindwings the same; a small blackish
