 Syntomis montana, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zoo], xii. p. 349 (1875). 

 Differs from 8. Passalis in being larger : forewing with similarly disposed but 

 larger-sized hyaline spots in both sexes : hindwing with a much larger discal spot, 

 and also with an inwardly oblique constricted spot below the cell. Bands on thorax 

 and abdomen wider and more brilliant in colour. 

 Expanse, S If, ? If inch. 



Genus ERESSA.

Forewing lengthened, triangular, broad ; cell extending two-thirds the wing ; 

 first subcostal emitted at one-eighth before end of the cell, five branched, the second 

 ascending about one-third and fifth descending at one-half beyond the cell ; radial 

 from end of the cell ; discocellular bent inward in the middle, emitting a slender 

 discoidal veinlet within the cell from the angle ; two upper median branches from 

 contiguous angles at end of the cell, second at one-fifth, and first (or lower) at one- 

 half before end of the cell ; submedian recurved : hindwing short, narrow ; costal 

 margin slightly folded over (apparently from the costal vein) on upperside for half its 

 length ; cell broad, extending to half the wing ; subcostal one branched ; discocellular 

 bent in the middle, emitting a slender discoidal veinlet within the cell ; three median 

 veins, the middle median emitted at one-sixth and lower at one-third before end of 

 the cell. Body long, slender, clothed with short hairs ; abdomen laterally tufted ; 

 palpi short, stout, laxly squamose, porrect ; legs thick, roughly squamose, hind tibise 

 tumid J antei^nsB strongly bipectinated. {E. confinis.)
