344 ME. A. G. BUTLER ON THE 



S. Khulweinii, Lefebvre. — Mr. Walker (n. 10) places SpMnx 

 minceus of Cramer with a r" as a synonym of this species ; but at n. 25 

 he repeats the latter as a distinct species ; it is the type of a distinct 

 genus Eutomis, Hubner (PI. XXYIII. fig. 12). We possess S. 

 Khulweinii from Natal. 



S. passalis, Fabricius (n. 12), is identical with S. creusa, Linn. 

 (n.l3). 



S. pol^damon, Cramer, appears to me to be referable to a distinct 

 genus, as subsequently suggested by Walker (Lep. Het. vii. 

 p. 1592); but I have not seen specimens. 



The examples referred to (n. 19) as S. Ruhneri, Boisduval, and 

 S. WalJceri of Moore belong to Walker's genus Artona, Lep. Het. 

 p. 439, gen. 60. 



S. diapJiana, var. ?, Walker (nee Kollar), is a distinct species, and 

 may be named >S'. oenone. 



The examples referred to under S. imaon are referable to two 

 or three distinct species ; the same may be said of *S'. atereus, 

 which is moreover not a Syntomis. 



S. simplex, 'WaWi.Qv (n. 27), and 8. nostalis, Walker (n. 28), are 

 identical, the first being the female, the second the male ; but 

 the examples referred to under S. simplex as from Congo are 

 distinct. 



S. suhcordata of Walker has pectinated antennge, and therefore 

 must be removed from the genus. 



S. diptera of Pabricius is clearly not a Syntomis. 



S. diminuta {cf. Lep. Het. i. p. 230, and vii. p. 1592) has pecti- 

 nated antennae, and consequently is not a Syntomis ; its neuration 

 is peculiar, so that it will form the type of a new genus. 



S. suhaurata (cf. Lep. Het. i. p. 149, and vii. p. 1593) also has 

 pectinated antennae, and, with S. pravata, Moore, will form ano- 

 ther new genus. 



S. lium,eralis is = Trypanophora semiliyalina {cf. Moore's Cat. 

 Lep. E. I. C. ii. p. 322). 



S. Graivfurdi of Moore is a PJiacusa. 



S. dolosa, strigosa, and probably glaucopoides and expansa will 

 lorm a new genus with pectinated antennae and peculiar neuration. 



S. xantlwmela (Suppl. i. p. 65) appears to be identical with >S^. 

 contermina; and S. intermissa is probably a slight variety of 

 S. transitiva. 



S.fenestrata (p. 73), being distinct from S.fenestrata, Drury, 

 must be renamed ; I propose to call it S. midas.
