This species is nearly allied to the preceding, but with 
the central belt and external area, the discoidal spots, 
and under surface much paler ; the secondaries are also 
paler, and the post-median line on these wings more 
angular ; it is nevertheless possible that S. fwmosa may 
prove to be a well-marked variation of S. fuliginosa. 
15. Sypna apicalis, n. 8. 
Allied to S. fumosa and S. catocaloides; from the 
former it principally differs on the upper surface in its 
more pointed primaries and subangulated secondaries, the 
latter with a large marginal lunate creamy ochreous 
apical patch ; on the under side, however, it is entirely 
different, and more nearly resembles S. catocaloides, 
being of a creamy yellowish colour, the wings crossed by 
three black bands, slightly curved and converging 
towards the inner margin (which they do not, however, 
reach), on the primaries angulated and undulated on the 
secondaries, where the second and third are almost 
united from the middle upwards by a large subapical 
blackish blotch ; an indistinct dusky line immediately 
beyond the third band, and asubmarginal series of black 
dots ; secondaries with two parallel black dashes at 
the end of the cell ; expanse of wings, 2 inches 1 line.

As I have compared this with figured species, it should 
be easy to recognise.

17. Sypna lucilla, n. 8. 
Primaries above gravel-brown, crossed by blackish 
strie and by a very broad and slightly irregular cream- 
coloured belt, which is interrupted upon the costa by a 
triangular black-speckled brown patch, and four or five 
dots in an oblique series just below it; a broad slaty 
grey subbasal band, bounded externally on the inner 
margin by a small bluish white spot; discoidal spots 
pure white, small; external area crossed by. lilacine
