447. Syntomis blanchardi, Pouj. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1884, p. cxxxvi. 



c? . Differs from multigutta in the thorax having paired pale 

 streaks on each side of the vertex ; the ground-colour of abdomen 

 pale, crimson towards the apex below. Wings with the hyaline 

 parts not yellowish. Fore wing with the outer margin excurved 

 from veins 2 to 5 ; a broad black band on the discocellulars ; the 

 apical black band extending down to vein 4, and sending a tooth 

 inwards along vein 5. Hind wing with the apical band rather 

 narrow and extending only to vein 2.

448. Syntomis nigra, n. sp. 



<J. Head, thorax, and abdomen black; collar and abdominal 

 segments slightly fringed with yellow ; two slight yellow streaks 

 on metathorax. Fore wing hyaline ; the veins and margins nar- 

 rowly black ; a broad black band on discocellulars ; the interspace 

 between veins 5 and 6 black ; a black marginal patch from the 

 apex to vein 4. Hind wing hyaline; the veins and margins 

 narrowly black ; a large black apical patch. 



Hob. Simla (Harford). Exp. 25 millim. Type in B. M. 



449. Syntomis serrata, n. sp. 



Antennae with distal part white above; frons, tegulse, and 

 metathorax yellow ; abdomen greenish black, with yellow bands on 

 the first six segments. Wings hyaline, with the veins and 

 margins black. Veins 3 and 4 of hind wing arise from a point at 

 lower angle of cell. 



This species bears a great resemblance to divisa, the hyaline 

 patch in the interno-median interspace is unbroken, and a black 

 streak between veins 5 and 6 present.
