Show 414 MR. W. WARREN ON N E W GENERA AND [Apr. 18, the male antenna?, which are amply pectinated, whereas in Synegia the pectinations are very fine and short: and in Hadassa, though longer, yet stiff and straight. The neuration is the same as in those genera, and equally strongly marked. Type, P. pluristriaria, Wlk. (Anisodes). PARASYNEGIA COMPLICATA, sp. n. 3. Fore wings yellow, with rusty specklings; first line dull brownish, acutely angulated before the discal spot, and more bluntly above the inner margin ; basal region brownish ; from 3 of the inner margin a brown line runs obliquely outwards, followed by another finer and more irregular one, the two curving round to the costa at 4; a fine brown subterminal line runs near the hind margin, parallel to it from the inner margin to the middle, where it stops short at a horizontal brown blotch from the exterior line to the hind margin ; a similar subcostal blotch occurs higher up, which throws off an oblique darker streak into the apex. Hind wings similar, but with 5 transverse lines; one thick, red-brown, close to the base ; a second, finer, just before the small dark discal spot; a third, like the second, beyond the spot; the fifth, thick and dark, from the inner angle to the anal angle, throwing off a dark blotch in the middle; these 4 all parallel to one another; the fourth is only a rusty, irregularly-undulating line, brown only at its origin at the costa, where it is followed by a brown spot. Face and collar red; antenna? and fillet white ; front of thorax rusty ; thorax and patagia, as well as abdomen, yellow. Underside pale straw-colour, with the markings dull brownish. Expanse of wings 36 millim. Hab. Naga Hills. PARASYNEGIA SUFFUSA, sp. n. 6*. Fore wings yellow, thickly irrorated and suffused with rusty confluent atoms ; an indistinct, angulated first line; a double, thick, grey-brown, oblique line from the middle of the inner margin to the apex, beyond which is a curved series of paler, sometimes clear yellow spots : sometimes the oblique lines are lost, and the discal space is more or less entirely overrun with leaden grey; a grey horizontal blotch to the hind margin in the centre, and another below the apex. Hind wings simdar, with 4 irregularly-margined, parallel, leaden grey lines, the space immediately beyond the first line, which is close to the base, paler; in one case the first 3 lines of the hind wings are wholly obsolete; both wings have a distinct black cell-spot. Face, palpi, and collar deep rust-colour ; antenna? and 611et yellowish ; thorax and abdomen yellow, tinged with rusty. Underside pale straw-colour, with the dark markings reproduced, dull brown. Expanse of wings 26 millim. Hab. Naga Hills. [Seems fairly common at low elevations in the Naga Hills.- H. J. E.~] |
