STOTOMINJk 53 



the second from the costa very small. Hind-wings nearly all brown, 

 with a small limpid discal space divided by the veins into three, two 

 round spots and a small semi- diaphanous space on the inner side. 



Expanse of wings ly 1 ^ inches. 

 a. India (type). 



Easily distinguishable from E, confinis, to which it is most nearly 

 allied by the hyaline space on the hind-wings ; in confinis the base 

 and nearly all the wing, with the exception of the marginal border, 

 are hyaline. 



This insect bore Walker's label of S. hubneri (Boisd.). I have never 

 seen the type of that insect, but from Boisduval's figure and descrip- 

 tion it is a true Syntomis, and in no way like this insect, which may 

 possibly be a sport of E. confinis. 



227. Eressa detola. n. sp. 



<j Antennae, collar, thorax and wings black. Head, two spots on 

 centre of thorax (front and after part) ; abdomen and spots on wings 

 bright chrome yellow, basal portion of abdomen and segmental bands 

 black. Fore-wings with two bands of elongated spots, first composed 

 of three, 1st in outer end of cell, 2nd below it, and 3rd in the interno- 

 medium interspace twice as long as the others, thickening inwards 

 and nearly filling the interspace to one third from the base, the 

 other band discal divided by the veins into four. Hind-wings with 

 three spots, ist and 2nd sub-basal divided by the median vein, 

 the 2nd the longest nearly extending to the anal angle, 3rd discal, 

 round, with a minute dot on its inner side. Underside, as above, 

 except that the discal spot on hind-wings has a yellow streak on the 

 outer side of it in addition, legs black. 



Expanse of wings I T % inches. 

 a. Australia (type). 



228. Eressa olinda. n. sp. 



<J Antennas, thorax, segmental bands on abdomen and wings 

 blackish brown, head, collar, sides and central spot on thorax, 

 abdomen and spots on wings chrome yellow. Fore- wings with four 

 spots, ist sub-basal, 2nd medial like a band across the wing divided 

 by the veins into three, 3rd discal divided by the third median 

 veinlet, and 4th sub-apical, all the spots longitudinal, the sub-apical 

 are the thinnest and longest. Hind-wings nearly all yellow, the 

 basal spot occupying nearly half the wing and joined in the middle 

 of its outer margin to the apical point of the discal spot, which is 

 large and triangular. Underside, same as above, legs blackish 

 brown. 



Expanse of wings i^ inches. 

 a. Queensland (type). 



Somewhat like Hydrusa chroma, but the central band on the fore- 

 wings is broader and differently shaped and the abdomen has much 

 thicker black segmental bands.
