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 sau-e shape and kind as 

 the spots on the fore wings. 



Underside much paler, with the markings as above. 



Expanse of wings l-f^- inch. 



Hah. Sibsaghar, six examples received from the Indian Museum, 

 Sikhim, two examples received from Mr. Irvine. 



Differs from iV^. neptis in the dark violet- grey colour of the 

 wings (which in N. neptis are yellow) and in all the markings being 

 narrower. 



Synclera nemoualis, 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 S{)Ots ; 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 antemtdial 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 ijand 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 -fjj inch. 



Hub. Solun (Simla). One example of this very pretty species, 

 taken by Ca|)tain Reed, has been in my collection for years. 



A smaller insect than S. multilinealis, with well-defined, transverse 

 markings, and without the intermediate parallel denticulated lines. 



HyDROCAMPIDjE. 



Hydrocampa simplalis, n. sp. 



White, irrorated with ochreous grey ; antennae, palpi, head, and
