The male of this very curious insect differs from the female in 

 having the antennae thickly bipectinated (these in the female being 

 minutely bipectinated and slightly clavate at the tip) ; the wings are 

 narrower, the hyaline spots on the fore-wing are less in size, and the 

 two spots near the posterior angle are covered with ochreous scales ; 

 the entire disc of the hind-wing is hyaline. 



The larva is represented among the original drawings of General 

 Hardwicke, now in the British Museum {vide vol. 10999. fig. 181, 

 and vol. 11001. figs. 23, 26 & 90), and is also figured among the 

 drawings made in N. India by A. Grote, Esq. of Calcutta, who states 

 that it " feeds on Raphiolepis." 



Genus Syntomis, Ochs. 

 Syntomis marsdeni, n. sp. (PI. LX. fig. 3.) 

 Blackish-brown : fore-wing with five whitish transparent spots.
