the whole disk, and are only divided by the black veins. Length of 

 the body 7 lines; of the wings 18 lines. 

 This species also comes between <S. Minceus and S. divisa. 



29. Syntomis intermissa, n. s. Mas. Purpurea, capitis gutta tho- 

 racis fascia antica interrupta humeris pectorisque maculis quatuor 

 albis, antennis apicalibus abdomine fascia basali interrupta fascia pos- 

 terior guttisque lateralibus albis, tarsis basi albis, alis anticis linipido 

 quinquemaculatis, posticis minimis limpido trimaculatis. 



Male. Deep purple. Head with a white dot in front. Antennae with 

 silvery-white tips. Thorax with an interrupted white band on the 

 fore border, and with two humeral white spots. Pectus with two 

 white spots on each side. Abdomen with an interrupted white basal 

 band and with an entire white band at two-thirds of the length ; tip 

 bluish ; underside with a row of white dots along each side from the 

 base to the hinder band. Fore coxae white beneath ; tarsi white at 

 the base. Fore wings with five limpid spots ; 1st spot subquadrate, 

 more than half the length of the 2nd, which widens exteriorly and has 

 an oblique exterior side ; 3rd nearly linear, much in front of the 4th 

 and the 5th, which together form a short conical spot. Hind wings 

 very small, with three limpid spots ; 2nd and 3rd spots much smaller 

 than those of the preceding species. Length of the body 6 lines ; of 

 the wings 15 lines. 

 This is sufficiently different from S. transitiva to claim a new name ; but 

 there is so much resemblance between the two that they may be termed 

 varieties or nearly allied species, according to the various use of those 

 words. 



30. Syntomis separabilis, n. s. Faim. Nigra, capitis gutta an- 

 tennis apice humerisque albis, abdomine macula basali guttis latera- 

 libus fascia dorsali fasciisque ventralibus albis, alis anticis limpido quin- 

 quemaculatis, posticis minimis limpido unimaculatis. 



Female. Black. Head with a white dot in front. Antennas white 

 towards the tips. Thorax with two humeral white spots. Abdomen 

 with a subquadrate white basal spot ; a row of white dots along each 

 side, and white bands beneath from the base to a dorsal white band at 

 two-thirds of the length. Fore coxa) white beneath. Fore wings 

 with five limpid spots; 1st spot small, slightly oblong, near the base ; 

 2nd and 3rd oblong-quadrate; 3rd oblique, a little shorter and 

 broader than the 2nd; 4th elliptical ; 5th larger than the 4th, double 

 or divided by a black vein. Hind wings very short, with one very 

 huge limpid spot. Length of the body 5 lines ; of the wings 12 lines. 



This, though much like .S'. inlermissu, is sufficiently distinct to be 

 ( ailed another species.
