Introduction. 



Ill ])ublishiiig the second and iast instalment of the catalogue 

 of Noctuidae contained in the Mjoberg collections from the 

 mountains of Sarawak, we desii'e to acknowledge gratefully 

 our indebtedness to Mr. Vv. H. T. Tarns for. his kind 

 assistance in ilie slow and arduous task of comparing 

 specimens with the National Collection and for suggestions 

 offered and information fi-eely given. 



This paper contains ten species in the earlier subfamilies, 

 which were not fully worked out when the first paper went 

 to press or which have since come to hand. Of these ten 

 species, seven are described as new, two are too poor for 

 description and one is left under an old name, though it 

 may well be racially distin(;t. 



The Hypeninae, which form well over one-third of the 

 entire collection of Xoctuidae. are extremely interesting, 

 more than half being apparently new to science. Out of 

 forty-four species listed here twenty-two are described as 

 new and three others ai'e in all likelihood new, though too 

 poor to be described. Of the twenty-nine types hereafter 

 described sixteen belong to the Mt. jNIurud collection; nine 

 are from Mt. Poi ; one is from Mt. Dulit and one holotype 

 and two allotypes are from Mt. T^enrissen. The remaining 

 TWO types are specimens in the Joicey collection from other 

 .scources, which were selected as representing the species 

 much better than the specimens received in the Mjoberg 

 collections. There will also be found, in the Supplement, 

 four new species from Mt. Matang ; two Acontianae , one 

 Ojihidf^rid, one Hypenid.
