1889.] INDIAN LEPIDOPTERA. 421 
spots each from below the costa; the second spot of the fourth line 
runs upwards from the hinder margin near the angle; the second 
spot of the fifth line adjoins the long spot above it. 
Hind wings with nearly the basal half white and semihyaline, with 
a violet-grey band across the middle of the cell; the division between 
the white and violet-grey portions of the wing is formed by a sinuous 
brown line, and there is in the violet-grey portion a discal irregular 
band of four long, white, curved spots of the same shape and kind as 
the spots on the fore wings. 
Underside much paler, with the markings as above. 
Expanse of wings 1%; inch. 
Hab. Sibsaghar, six examples received from the Indian Museum. 
Sikhim, two examples received from Mr. Irvine. 
Differs from V. neptis in the dark violet-grey colour of the 
wings (which in JV. neptis are yellow) and in all the markings being 
narrower. 
SYNCLERA NEMORALIS, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 6.) 
Pale yellow, irrorated with chocolate atoms ; back of the head and 
thorax with some chocolate marks ; abdomen silvery, with greyish 
segmental bands, anal tuft and band and spots on both wings choco- 
late-red ; fore wings with a costal subbasal spot, and another on the 
hinder margin about one eighth from the base; a subbasal band 
between these spots ; an antemedial band which is continued through 
the hind wings to the abdominal margin one third from the anal 
angle, and is curved outwardly on the fore wings, and is nearly 
straight on the hind wings; an upright slightly curved discal band 
also on the fore wings, which runs from the costa near the apex to 
the hinder angle, and runs from thence inwards in two curves, and 
joins the antemedial line on the hinder margin; there is also a lunu- 
lar line at the end of the cell, a marginal band on both wings, which 
is continued a little round the apex of fore wings: at the centre of 
the margin of the hind wings is a spot from which a band runs 
up to the centre of the antemedial band in that wing, and another 
band runs up from the same spot in two zigzags to the costa of the 
wing at one third from the apex; cilia in both wings pale yellow, 
intersected by a clearly defined chocolate-coloured line. 
Underside paler, with the bands showing through. 
Expanse of wings 5%; inch. 
Hab. Solun (Simla). One example of this very pretty species, 
taken by Captain Reed, has been in my collection for years. 
A smaller insect than S. mu/tilinealis, with well-defined, transverse 
markings, and without the intermediate parallel denticulated lines.

HyDROCAMPA SIMPLALIS, n. sp.
