546 Mr, Butler oh a collection of 



the middle ; costal margin black-spotted, discoidal and interne- 

 median spots relieved by black margins, the interval between the 

 •' orbicular" and " reniform" spots black, the former pyriform 

 with grey centre, the latter of the typical shape enclosing an 

 outline grey crescent ; interuo-median spot elliptical ; basal third 

 of fringe sandy whitish, remainder grey, ti"aversed by two closely 

 approximated pale lines ; secondaries pale fuliginous browu, 

 sericeous with cupreous reflections ; fringe white traversed by 

 two slender grey lines ; thorax grey with one or two transverse 

 slightly angulated dusky lines on the collar ; front margin of 

 head w^hite ; abdomen whitish slightly tinted with brown and 

 speckled with grey ; under surface of wings pale sericeous grey 

 with dusky discocellular spots, basi- costal areas whitish ; body 

 below white, legs and sides of venter grey-speckled. Expanse 

 of wings 1 inch o lines. 



One fairly perfect specimen; it is most nearly allied to C. rect- 

 angula, of Europe. 



15. Ma7nest7'a griserpennisl (No. (50). 



Mamestra griseipennis, Felder, Eeise der Nov. Lep. 4, })1. cix, 

 fig. 22. 



The specimen sent by Mr. Skellou agrees in pattern with 

 Felder's figure, but in colour more nearly resembles ilf. brassic(v, 

 whereas Felder's colouring is rather what one would expect to 

 find in Spcelotis than in Mamestra. 



NOCTUID^. 



16. Nitocris j)lusiata (No. 24). 



Hadena plnsiata, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. iii, p. 742 (1865). 



Although, in accordance with my previous lists, I here adopt 

 M. Guenee's generic name, I much doubt the distinctness of his 

 genus from Graphiphora ; the three examples sent are in good 

 condition, and represent the extreme varieties of the species. 



ORTHOSIID^^:.
