294 Mr. w. warren on lepidoptera [June 5, 



The male is a dwarf, barely more than half the size of the female, 

 and smaller than any example in the Brit. Mus. collection.

Macroglossa saundersii, Boisd. MSS. 



One female, taken May 3, 1887, at Thundiani. 



The specimen was numbered the same as the nest following 

 species, Cephonodes hylas, from which it is distinguished by the 

 broader dark border of the fore wing, and the green scaling of the 

 same wing reaching as far as the median vein.

9. Syntomis minor, sp. n. (No. 1 77.) 



Two males and two females from Kala Pani, taken August 30, 

 and September 1, 1886. The specimens are all more or less 

 damaged as to the head, palpi, and antennae. They belong to the 

 group which has the abdomen marked with two yellow rings, and 

 come nearest to S. georgina, Butler, but are much smaller, none of 

 the four exceeding f of an inch. 



Purplish brown : fore wing with five whitish hyaline spots : — 1, 

 small, near the base ; 2, small, at the end of the cell ; 3, large, of 

 varying shape, below 2 ; 4, small, subcostal, halfway between 2 and 

 the apex ; 5, large, and always geminated, obliquely below 4, and 

 nearer the hind margin than in the allied species, so that the distance 

 between 3 and 5 is greater. 



Hind wing with one, largish, basal, and another, smaller, hyaline 

 spot beyond it. As far as can be made out from the condition of 

 the insects, none of the four ever had a yellow collar, but the face 

 and two abdominal bands are distinctly yellow. 



In the Brit. Mus. collection there is a single unnamed specimen, 

 also damaged, from Abyssinia, which accords well, both in size and 

 disposition of the spots, with these four from India. 



" Common between Kala Pani and Abbotabad."

Zygcena caschmirensis, Kollar, Kasch. iv. p. 459, pi. 19. fig. 6.
