eoiisideratioii the fact that many true Zygfenidtc we destitute
of it.
Subfamily ZY GBNINB.
(Anthroceroidz, WZlgr.)
Genus ZYQ~EXA, Pabricius.
Z. taqgamica of Walker has been rffrrred by IViilleiigrcn to his
Arichalca e.rlythr.opy.qa. I will not attempt (with iny present sinnll
Irnowledge of the Zygziiinae) to cousider its right to be treatd
as a distinct genus ; to all appearance it is a Zyqmnn. Procris con-
traria, Walker, is a Neurosymploca (Euctenia, Felder), and there
fore not (as Walker suggests) congeneric with 2. concinnn, Dal-
man ; it is identical with “Zygana pectinicornis ’’ of Shaufuss.
CJ: Lep. Het. vii. p. 159, and Nunquain Otiosus, i. p. 11.
Genus PROCILIS, Pabricius.
Zy,!gcena acharon of Pabricius is refwuble to this gcuus ; Anzyclcs
acharolz of Walker iiiny therefore talrc the name A. pficenicotelus.
P. nebulosa, Klug (Lep. Hot. i. p. 110) is= P. nebzilosa, Herricli-
SchiiEer (Lep. Het. vii. p. 1591).
P. rujveiatris, Walker (11. ll), is not a Procris, but probably a
new genus near Pollanisus.
P. inj’austa, Linn., is a distinct genus (type of AgZaope, Lntr.),
r- Staudinger, Cat. der Lep. 11. 44.
P. si6bdO/oSit, Wnllwr, Siippl. 1). 68, is a Pol/nnis?~s.
Subfhitii l y SY S TOM IN,%.
Genus SYNTOMIS, Ochsedeimer.
I have no doubt whatever that S. Sclimnwri (sic), Boisduval,
xiid 8. cyssen, Cramer (both described from Bengalese speciinnis)
are identical. Crauier’s figure is, indeed, rough, but it presents
all the importaut characters of Boisduval’s insect. Aiiioug the
specimens in the National collection I detected ail example of 8.
bicincta, Kollar (letter c of‘ Walker), aud a third species (9, Ir,
IValker) from Nepaul (8. lucina, Butl.). The examples referrcd
to by Mr. Walker under 8. LatreiZZii, Boixd.,are referable to S.
creusa, Linu. ; we, however, posscss Hoisduvnl’s species frorir
Southern India.
