78 Col. C. Swinhoo on neio 



Syntomts verecunda, nov. 



{J . Antennse black ; head, thorax, and abdomen dark 

 bright ochreous; bands black, one behind the eyes, another 

 behind the collar, three longitudinal stripes on thorax, one 

 transverse at the base, six on the abdomen with the cxtre- 

 mit}^ broadly green-black and glistening : wings hyaline, 

 tinged with ochreous ; a bright ochreous stripe between costa 

 and subcostal vein and another on vein 1 ; a prominent black 

 subbasal spot below base of cell ; a black band dividing tiie 

 submedian interspace and finer band closing the cell ; costal, 

 outer, and inner borders black ; all the veins black ; a black 

 patch at apex and another on the outer margin between veins 

 2 and 3 : hind wings with the cosfa and outer margin broadly 

 black, the black colour thickened at vein 2 and running up 

 the vein to a ])oint, the outer ])oitions of the hyaline parts 

 thickly smeared with bright ochieous. 



Expanse of wings li\ inch. 



Jaintia Hills. 



Allied to S. /erin'da, Walker, of which I have a fine series 

 from the Khasia Hills; differs in the prominent subbasal 

 black spot of fore wings and the hyaline interspace between 

 veins 5 and 6; in fervida it is nearly all filled in with black 

 and is much narrower and differently shaped ; in one of my 

 examples of /e7-y?Va vein 4 has a sn)all veinlet, so that the 

 black band filling the interspace looks as if it threw off three 

 veinlets on to the margin. 



Syntomis aureola^ nov. 



cJ . Antennae with white tips; head and body golden 

 yellow ; a black line between the antenna3, blackish longitu- 

 dinal stripes on thorax diffusedly filling (he centre in this 

 sex, a transverse stripe at the base, and seven black bands on 

 the abdomen with the extremity narrowly black : fore wings 

 dark chocolate-black ; a bright golden band between the costa 

 and subcostal vein, a golden stripe on vein 1, and most of the 

 outer parts of the hyaline spots smeared with golden yellow 

 on both wings: fore wings with the submedian interspace 

 hyaline, divided in the centre by a wedge-shaped black bar; 

 a wedge-shaped hyaline spot filling cell, a small spot at base 

 ot interspace between veins 2 and '6, a pair of discal spots in 

 the next two interspaces, a long spot in the interspace above 

 vein 6 and a smaller one above it : the hind wings are mostly 

 hyaline, with broad black costa and outer margin, the black 

 running up vein 2 to the cell, and thus dividing the wing 

 into two hyaline portions.
