21. Symbrenthia hippoclus nigroapicalis, subsp. nov. 

 (Plate XXVI, fig. 3, ^, 4, o.) 



(J. Forewing with the spot in 4 enlarged and narrowly joined 

 to the spot at base of 3. No spot in apex. The submarginal spot 

 in 4 represented by a dot. The inner marginal band is reduced to a 

 triangular spot reaching vein 2 which separates its apex from a 

 spot in cellule 2 placed distally of it. 



$. On the forewing resembling the $ of hylaeus, Wall, There is 

 a short black streak in the band between veins 3 and 5 in the type 

 specimen. 



4 (^ c?, 2 ? ? obtained. 



22, Mynes geoflroyi aureodiscus, subsp. nov. 

 (Plate XXVII, fig. 3, <^.) 



Allied to semperi, Stgr. J differs above in having an ill-defined 

 apical streak, some dark scaling at base of wing, and some greyish 

 scaling at terminal margin of white area. On hindwing the black 

 margin is broader and occupies half the costa. The light central 

 patch is square-shaped and much reduced distally and costally, 

 being limited by vein 7 and separated from a light stripe at inner 

 margin of the greyish discal colour. 



Underside of forewing similar to semperi; costal spot directed 

 basally, yellow apical spots larger, and extended black in cellule 4, 

 Hindwing with reduced discal patch as above, limited anteriorly 

 by vein 7 and posteriorly by first submedian, being separated by 

 some yellow scaling from inner marginal yellow border. The distal 

 edge of the patch is nebulous and there is some yellow scaling in the 

 space between it and an outer yellowish discal line which represents 

 the limit of the discal patch in semperi. 



$. Upperside black with basal half suffused with yellow scaling. 

 Forewing with a yellow patch at base of cell, and a creamy apical 

 band. Hindwing with basal half of cell yellow, base of costa and 

 inner margin whitish. A narrow creamy marginal band. 



Underside of forewing yellowish in and around cell. Black area 

 enlarged posteriorly, reaching below 3 and thence narrowing to 

 outer angle. Costal spot divided and apical spots forming a band. 

 Hindwing with yellow discal area much enlarged, reaching sub- 

 costal, extended to the base, and merged in the inner marginal 

 area which is extended posteriorly. Red costal streak more 

 extended, 



A series of both sexes.
