LEPIDOPTERA OF THE FAMILY ZYQMyiVJE. 351 



exactly as in S. thelebus ; primaries with a small subquadrate spot at 

 base ; two slightly diverging large spots across the middle, and two 

 on disk (the lower one bifid and touching the centre of outer margin), 

 apex white-tipped ; secondaries hyaline, with the margins irregularly 

 black-brown : expanse of wings 28 millims. 

 China, Foo-choo-foo {Lay). Type, B.M. 



Most nearly allied to S. aperiens. 



It appears to me that the Syntominse would be most conveni- 

 ently restricted (by the character of simple filiform antennse) to 

 the genera Synfomis (including Goenochromia of Hiibner), Burla- 

 cena, Byhlisia, Melisa, and Naclia (or Dysauxes) ; the African re- 

 presentatives of the last-mentioned genus have pectinated antennse 

 and the hind- wing neuration of Eutomis ; N". puella and gnatida 

 may therefore be referred to the next subfamily under the generic 

 name of PseudonacUa. The following genus may be added : — 



Callitomis, nov. gen. PI. XXYII. fig. 1. 



Allied to Synfomis, but antennse with fewer articulations, the latter 

 more pronounced, and bearing minute hairs, but not serrated or 

 pectinated ; wings much broader, venation almost as in Sy- 

 drusa. Type G. syntomoides, n. sp. 



1. Callitomis syntomoides, n. sp. 



Bodj' blue-black ; abdomen with a spot at the base, and the fifth seg- 

 ment orange ; pectus with two lateral orange spots ; primaries dull 

 dark green .: an interno-median subbasal dot, a large subquadrate 

 spot near the end of discoidal cell, a transverse litura below it, and a 

 small bifid spot crossing the base of the third median branch ochre- 

 ous ; secondaries dull brown, discocellular region slightly greenish : 

 wings below, brown ; primaries spotted as above ; secondaries with 

 two diflfused ochreous spots near the base, one interno-median, the 

 other abdominal : expanse of wings 34 millims. 



Cashmere. Type, coll. F. Moore. 



2. C. LEUCOSOMA, n. sp. 



Body ochreous, antennae and legs greenish black : wings dull semitrans- 

 parent brown ; primaries with ochreous spots almost as in the prece- 

 ding species ; secondaries with the base and the interno-median area 

 from the origin of the first median branch to the base pale ochreous ; 

 an ochreous spot on the first median interspace : below as above : 

 expanse of wings 30 millims. 



Cashmere. Type, coll. F. Moore. 



If the sexes of the Syntominae were subject to great differences 

 of colour, G. leiicosovui might be the female of the preceding spe-
