16 On Heterocera from the Transvaal. 



Wings black ; anterior wings with five large white spots, 

 situate, one in cell, and one beneath it, one at extremity of 

 cell, and two close together beneath extremity of cell ; 

 posterior wings with a large basal ochraceous spot, between 

 which and apex is a smaller white spot. 



Exp. wings 20-21 millim. 



Hah. Transvaal, Pienaars River {Distant) , Zoutpansberg 

 {Kcessner), 



Syntomis Rendallt, sp. n. 



Body, legs, and antennas black ; pronotum with the 

 humeral margins white ; a lateral spot on both the meso- and 

 metasternum, a series of lateral abdominal spots, and two 

 dorsal abdominal spots — one at base and the other at about 

 one third from apex — white. 



Wings black or brownish black : anterior wings with six 

 white spots, of which the first is smaller and subbasal, 

 second in cell, and third beneath and a little before it, fourth 

 near end of cell, fifth and sixth contiguous a little beneath 

 and beyond lower extremity of cell ; posterior wings with 

 two white spots, the first largest and near base, the second 

 smaller and discal. 



Exp. wings 20-22 millim. 



Hab. Transvaal, Barberton {Dr. P. Rendall). 



From the description of S. caryocatactes, Wallengr., that 

 species appears to be the nearest allied to S. Rendalli. The 

 one I now describe may be distinguished from Wallengren's 

 species by the sternal spots, the second abdominal dorsal spot, 

 somewhat smaller size, &c. 



Parasyntomis ? cethiops^ sp. n. 



Body, antennse, and legs black ; proboscis and apex of 

 abdomen ochraceous. 



Wings black : anterior wings with two whitish spots^ one 

 in and near end of cell, and the other almost immediately 

 beneath it ; posterior wings with the basal abdominal area 

 pale hyaline divided by the dark veins. 



Exp. wings 30 millim. 



Hab. Transvaal, Zoutpansberg {Kcessner). 



I am informed by Sir G. F. Hampson, who has examined 

 my typical specimen, that the species may be placed provision- 

 ally in his MS. genus Parasyntomis, from which it differs by 

 having the veins 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 from cell, instead of 8, 9, 10 

 stalked.
