Lepidoptera from Kiukiang. 123 



116. Epicopeia mencia, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1874, 

 p. 578, pi. Ixvii., fig. 8. 

 Two specimens, male and female. 



117. Arachotia hyalina, n. s. (PI. VII., fig. 6). 



Male. Primaries black, with four hyaline spots before and six 

 others beyond the middle. Secondaries hyaline with black borders, 

 narrow on the abdominal fold, but broad on other margins; the 

 border on outer margin projects inwardly as far as lower edge of 

 discoidal cell. Fringes black, except at apices of all the wings, 

 where they are white. Head and thorax bluish black. Abdomen 

 greenish black, collar and segmental divisions marked with white. 

 Autennse deeply pectinated, steel-blue, whitish towards the tips, 

 which are black. Under surface same as above, with the addition, 

 on secondaries, of a small white dash on the anterior margin, and 

 an oblong spot near the costa and beyond the middle. Legs black. 



Expanse, 42 mm. 



One very fine example. 



118. Phaiidafortunii, H.-S., Lep. Exot. Sp. Nov., Ser 1, 

 fig. 223. 

 Phauda triadum, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., i., 257. 

 Two examples. 



119. Syntomis muirheadii, Feld., Wien., Ent. Mon., 

 vi., 37. 



An interesting series of specimens, showing some 

 variation in the number and size of hyaline spots on 

 secondaries and towards apex of primaries. 



120. Syntomis Pratti, n. s. (PI. IX., fig. 3). 



Allied to Syntomis muirheadii, Feld., to which species it bears 

 a strong superficial resemblance, but is separated therefrom by 

 having only two hyaline spots towards base of primaries, and 

 blackish margins to abdominal fold of secondaries. There is no 

 yellow patch on the posterior edge of thorax, but one is situated 

 band-like on first segment of abdomen, and this is followed by five 

 yellow belts in the male and four in female. These last are inter- 

 rupted on the back of the female by a stripe of the blackish ground 

 colour. Antennie strongly pectinated in the male, a character 

 which at once distinguishes it from male S. muirheadii. 



Expanse, ^ 47 mm., 5? 56 mm. 



Two specimens, male and female.
