New Palaearctic Geometridae 483 



West China: Kwanhsien, Szechuan, August 21, 1920 (G. M. Franck). 



Pending revision, I have called this genus (Gaberodes Hmpsn. nee. 

 Guen.) by the name of NotJiomiza, which Hampson sinks ; but the 

 new species will probably belong to his Section 1. In citing the 

 Indian achromaria Guen. as the type of Guenee's genus, Hampson 

 cannot have read the author's own remarks, for after discussing the 

 American section he definitely says that achromaria might form a 

 separate genus. 



9. Synegia angusta sp. nov. 



S , 30 mm. 



Head and body pale ochreous-brown, the pointed cone at lower 

 extremity of face darker, the palpus darker-mixed on outer side, its 

 terminal joint less elongate than in most Synegia. Antenna with very 

 short ciliation (less than half). 



Fore wing narrower than in the rest of the genus ; cell rather 

 longer (slightly over, instead of slightly under, half), SC 1 free, SC 2 stalked 

 to beyond SC 5 ; whitish-ochreous, with rather coarse darker irroration 

 and with the veins also deeper ochreous ; costal area (about to SC) 

 somewhat infuscated, the extreme edge again lighter, fuscous-spotted ; 

 cell-dot black ; a thick, not sharply defined antemedian line, apparently 

 angled outward near costa but only becoming distinct about SC, where 

 it is twice as near to cell-dot as to base, then very gently curved and 

 nearly as oblique as termen ; a blackish line near termen, rather 

 strongly curved anteriorly, then parallel with termen ; an apical dash 

 joining this line at E 1 " 2 ; thick dashes along E 1 and E 3 from line to 

 termen ; terminal line fine but equally dark ; fringe spotted at vein- 

 ends. Hind wing rather narrower than in other Synegia, but not bent 

 as in Gallerinnys ; cell-dot black ; proximal shade of fore wing continued 

 near base ; outer line of fore wing continued, cutting almost straight 

 across wing to abdominal margin just beyond two-thirds ; traces of 

 a very fine supplementary line (true postmedian) meeting it at both 

 ends and curving parallel with termen ; a dark terminal line ; fringe 

 spotted. 



Underside similarly marked, rather duller, proximally rather more 

 blurred.
