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. 
Hab, Transvaal, Pienaars River (Distant), Zoutpansberg 
(Kessner). 
Syntomis Rendalli, sp. n. 
Body, legs, and antenne 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 §. caryocatactes, Wallengr., that 
species appears to be the nearest allied to S. Rendall. The 
one I now describe may be distinguished from Wallengren’s 
species by the sternal spots, the second abdominal dorsal spot, 
somewhat smaller size, &e. 
Parasyntomis ? cethiops, sp. n. 
Body, antenne, 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 (Kessner). 
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.
