pale fuliginous-brown, slightly yellowish ; a subangulated 
blackish band immediately beyond the cell, followed by a 
sordid white band, which is again followed by a broad 
curved tapering dusky belt; a sordid whitish spot just 
within the end of the cell ; a submarginal series of black 
spots, pupilled externally with cream-colour ; fringe 
traversed by an indistinct slender dusky line, and tipped 
with blackish; secondaries greyish brown, with faint 
pinky reflections ; a large dusky bordered whitish disco- 
cellular spot, followed by an arched indistinct greyish

The primaries of this species much resemble those of 
S. dubitaria, but the secondaries have a yellow-spotted 
border, and more nearly resemble the female of S. fwmosa. 
4, Sypna tenebrosa, 0. 8. 
Allied to the preceding species, but with the broad 
dark belt of the primaries interrupted by the veins; the 
discal band bounding the external area darker ; the pale 
central belt of the secondaries obsolete ; the external 
area paler in the male, darker in the female; the 
yellowish spots on the fringe of the male only visible 
towards the apex, those of the female broadly interrupted 
opposite to the median interspaces ; the grey intersect- 
ing line also does not cross the yellow spots as in 
S. martina; the under surface seems to be entirely 
different: it is whity brown in the male, creamy whitish
