Syntomis albapex. (Plate CLVII. fig. 1.) 
Expanse 1^ inch. 
Male. Cupreous brown. Fore wing with a small transparent spot in the middle of the 
cell, almost obsolete on the upperside ; a larger elongated ochreous spot below it in the 
interno-median interspace ; a rounded spot between first and second median nervules near their 
origin ; cilia just below the apex pure white. Hind wing with an elongate ochreous spot 
from below the cell to near centre of inner margin, and a smaller spot between first and 
second median nervules near their origin. Extremities of antennre white ; vertex of head, 
collar, first and fifth abdominal segments, orange ; proximal ends of tarsi white. 
It is not closely allied to any described species, but belongs to the S. alh'i'plaga group^ 
which has the fore wing broad with short inner margin. 
ZYGMNINM. 
DENDROCERA, g. n. 
Antennse with short pectinations in the male, which stand out almost horizontally to the 
shaft, and again have secondary branches on each side ; antennte of female simple. Palpi 
slight and upturned. Fore wing broad ; apex and outer margin rounded ; inner margin 
short ; costal nervure short ; the first subcostal given off some way before the end of the cell ; 
the second, third, fourth, and upper radial arising separately close to the upper angle ; the lower 
radial and second and third medians close to the lower angle ; the first median from before 
the angle ; an interno-median ; the submedian forked near base. Hind wing broad, the apex 
and outer margin rounded ; the subcostal sends a spur to the costal near the base ; a 
single subcostal from the upper angle ; the discocellulars angled ; the radial and two median 
branches from near the lower angle of cell ; the first median from before the angle ; interno- 
median, submedian, and internal nervures. A tibial spur to fore leg, and paired terminal 
spurs on tibiae of mid and hind legs. 
Dendrocera quadripuncta. (Plate CLVII. fig. 2.) 
Expanse c? & ? -{.^ inch. 
Male and Female. Very dark brown ; fore wing with two subbasal obliquely superposed 
ochreous spots, one towards middle of cell, the other nearer the base in interno-median 
interspace ; two similar superposed spots beyond upper and lower ends of cell, the lower
