cellular spot edged with creamy white, and an irregular 
discal series of cream-coloured spots; the female with

commencement of a second series near the base of the 
primaries; a slender brown interrupted marginal line 
shot with plumbageous ; fringe snow-white ; thorax pale

EPHYRID. 
111. Synegia esther, n.s. 
Nearly allied to S. hadassa, but differing in the much 
darker lines across the wings, in the outer line being 
expanded into a broad greyish belt from the third 
median branch to the inner margin of primaries, and in 
the presence of two diffused marginal spots on these 
wings, the first subapical, the second (which is larger, 
and extends inwards to the greyish belt) upon the 
second median interspace; the female differs from the 
male in its paler coloration, stramineous instead of 
ochreous, and in the narrow (instead of expanded) discal 
line; expanse of wings, male 1 inch 38 lines, female 
1 inch 4 lines. 
Yokohama (H. Pryer); °, Tokei (Fenton). 
The male, sent in a former collection by Mr. Pryer, I 
at first considered to be a variety of S. hadassa; but I 
had then seen only two typical examples of that species 
(like the female figured by me), and a specimen which I 
believed to be a pale male. I have since then had an 
opportunity of examining a good series taken at Tokei,
