fell spot, in each wing. A sufFuspci form occurs, in this as in other species of 

 the genus, in which the anal region of both wings, and the inner margins partially, 

 are suffused with fuscous grey ; in all examples, a small pale ocelloid spot appears 

 in the middle of the submarginal line, on either side of which is a dark fuscous 

 blotch. Head, thorax, and abdomen bright ochreous, mottled with orange and 

 fuscous grey, like the wings. Underside paler, more straw colour, with all the 

 markings dark fuscous, and proportionally more distinct. 



Expanse of wings : 46 mm.

Syntaracta omissa sp. nov. 



Wings pale ochreous, with ochreous fuscous mottlings, and fasciae; first line 

 darker fuscous, twice curved, preceded by a paler, but not always distinct, fascia 

 of unmottled ground colour; second line darker fuscous, denticulated, followed 

 by a .similar space of unmottled ground colour ; the first line is followed, and 

 the second preceded, by a shade of ochreous fuscous; a submarginal, and marginal, 

 sinuous edged fascia of the same ochreous fuscous, between which the submarginal 

 line is more or less visible as a subcontinuous row of jiale spots ; fringe ochreous 

 fuscous, mottled with lighter, with no darker basal line ; costa dotted with dark 

 fuscous, Init not itself darker, and scarcely metallic except at the extreme base. 

 Hindwings the same ; a distinct dark fuscous cell spot in each wing. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen concolorous with wings. Underside the same, hut jialer. 



Expanse of wings : cJ ? , 32 to 50 mm. 



The largest of the .Japanese species, and ipiite distinct from hndassd Butler. 



Syntaracta varians sp. nov. and aberr. lineata. 



Of five ¥ ? from Gunong Ijau, only two are alike ; one. the lightest, has a 

 pale yellow ground colour with ferruginous freckles and markings, and the costa 

 slightly darker ; this comes nearest imitaria Wlk. from Ceylon, or rather between it 

 and Synegia botydaria Guen. ; in two others the markings are gi-eyish fuscous, 

 and the ferruginous dots less conspicuous ; in the fourth the ground colour is 

 straw colour, the whole surface mottled and variegated with blackish fuscous 

 atoms, the two lines being denticulated and edged with blackisli ; while in the 

 fifth all denticulation is gone ; the costa is black brown ; the two lines have 

 become black brown straight markings, and connected with the hindmargin by 

 two black brown streaks in each wing. I'hese vary also in size, the first being 

 about as large as imitaria, the others smaller, the fifth being the least of all. 

 Not one of the five can fairly be jilaced with the Ceylon imitaria, and I see 

 no reason for not considering them to form a species (or, at all events, a race) 

 apart.

angle distinct. Hindwings broad, with both angles somewhat produced; hindmargin
