Dark brown, an orange band at base of abdomen, and two orange
lrteral spots on pectus: primaries with a large spot within cell, a
rmaller oval spot below median nervure and between the first and
second branches, and an elongate interno-median patch byaline
white ; two bifid clisral spots, the upper one cut by the subcostal fork,
the lower by the third median brnnch ; secondaries with a trifid (nearly

its lower extremity : expnnse of wings 22 millims.
Bombay (two specimens). Type, coll. F. Moore.
This pretty little species differs from the other two iu the genus
in the angulated character of the discocellular. It somewhat repeats
the colour-charactertl of Syntomiu.
Genus PSICHOTO~, Bokd. P1. XXVIII. fig. 7.
Allied to Hydruea ; head small, antenna minutely serrated ;
thorax and abdomen broad, the latter hairy beliiiid ; wing semi-
hyaline, ncuration almost as in xydruua. Type, P. duvazceelii.

Body black, abdomen with a spot at base and the fifth segment orangeyellow
; front of pectus below testaceous : wiup greyish hyaline, the
veins, costoc, and bases brown ; extreme outer marginal edge black :

Culeutta. Coll. F. Moore.
There is a large example of what I take to be this species in
Mr. Moore’s collection from Yciude ; it is in the collection of the
British Museum, from Darjeeling, with Walker’s MS. name S.
nigrita attached.
2. P. INCIPIENS.
Syntonis incipiens, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. i. p. 68 (1864).
S. Indin ( Walhouse). Type, B.M.
The genus lbenia, Walker, placed by that author uext to Pui-
~/iot&~ seeins closely allied to Prvcriu ; the antenuae are of the
same coiistruction.
