230 NOCTUID MOTHS 



Two 9 , one from Mt. Muriid, 6500 feet, November — one 

 without exact elevation, are provisionally placed here, though 

 the lines are more waved and the subterminal is not broken 

 into spots. In the cf the exact distance between the lines 

 varies perceptibly and the postmedial is slightly more bent 

 behind the middle in some specimens than in others, but they 

 belong unmistakably to one species. 



43. Carea elaeospila sp. n. 



9 35--38 mm. 



Hind leg as in Nos. 40 and 41. 



Head olive-green; patagia, thorax and tegulae bright buff 

 shaded with burnt sienna, the patagia tipped with whitish; 

 abdomen grey above, tinged with pinkish beneath; pectus 

 and legs pale violet-pink mixed with white. 



Fore wing chocolate-brown largely irrorated with white 

 except between postmedial and subterminal lines, with the 

 cell largely filled in with olive-green between lower angle 

 of cell and postmedial line ; the veins from postmedial line to 

 termen streaked with olive-green ; antemedial line oblique 

 from one-third costa to near middle of hind margin, angled 

 inward and almost interrupted in cell ; postmedial line more 

 or less outwardly oblique and waved from two-thirds costa to 

 W, oblique to just beyond two-thirds hind margin; a nearly 

 straight row of subterminal black spots between the veins ; 

 the fringe dull red. Hind wing fuscous with the fringe pale 

 pink. Underside fuscous irrorated with dull red, the fringes 

 dull red (paler and pinker on hind wing) ; fore wing with a 

 patch of Indian red irroration about the end of areole and 

 origin of subcostals ; the fuscous shade (as usual) paler 

 towards hind margin of wings. 



Mt. Murud, 6000-6500 feet, October— 1 9 ; November— 



29. 



A very distinct species, perhaps least remote from C. ocyra 

 Swinh.. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 6, xii, p. 262, 1893, Singapore. 



44. Carea species. 



Mt. Murud, November — 1 cf. 



This appears quite distinct from any previously known 

 Carea species, but the condition is unfortunately too poor to 

 admit of any adequate description.
