SyYNTOMID&. 
SYNTOMIS WIMBERLEY], n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 11.) 
Blackish brown ; spots and markings golden yellow, not gilded ; 
fore wing with a small spot subbasal, two large spots medial, the 
lower one the larger, and two discal, the largest of all; hind wing 
golden yellow, with a deep costal and marginal band, the latter 
attenuated to the hinder angle ; front of head, sides of eyes, collar, 
spots on fore and hind part of thorax, segmental bands of abdomen, 
all golden yellow; underside, wings as above, legs marked with 
golden yellow, and the segmental bands of the abdomen completely 
encircling it. 
Expanse of wings 1,2; inch. 
Hab. Andaman Islands. One perfect specimen, received from 
Mr. Wimberley. 
Most nearly allied to S. pfeiffert from Sumatra, differs in the 
pattern of the yellow spots on both wings; the fore wing having 
a single spot only before the apex, while the lower outer spot on the 
posterior margin is narrow and elongated obliquely outwards; on 
the hind wing the yellow spot extends through the cell, and is also 
deeply indented from its outer edge to the median vein. 
NoTIOPpTERA PROPERTA, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 6.) 
Deep black ; antennee long, two thirds of the length of the fore 
wings; shaft glistening, pectinated from the base to the tips in both 
sexes, but three times broader in the male than in the female ; fore 
wings with two bands of white hyaline streaks—first medial, con- 
sisting of five, the other discal, consisting of four, the lowest one 
broadest and more rounded. 
Hind wings with a long suffused semihyaline whitish subcostal 
streak from the base to near the apex, a central short median streak 
also from the base, and two or three other faint, scarcely visible 
streaks adjacent, and two discal hyaline spots close together, the lower 
one much the larger; thorax and abdomen deep black, with a bluish 
sheen with bright gilded golden-yellow bands ; but in three perfect 
examples before me, two males and one female, all taken in the same 
month, at the same place, these bands all differ; one male has a 
broad collar, a large spot in the centre of the thorax, and the two 
penultimate segments of the abdomen all bright golden, gilded yel- 
low, with this colour running up some distance on each side; the 
female has the thorax-spot absent, and the other male has the 
thorax-spot and collar both absent, but in all other respects they 
are identical. 
Underside deep black ; wings as above ; proboscis yellow. 
Expanse of wings 1,2; inch.
