SUPPLEMENT. 



As the collections from Mts. Murud, Dulit, Poi and 

 Penrissen had heen worked out and largely written np before 

 the collection from Mt. Matang reached us, the six species 

 of Noctuidac helonGfinfi- to that collection are included in this 

 paper as a supplement instead of being incorporated in the 

 text. Although only 6 species (18 siiecimens) were received 

 from Mt. Matang 4 of the species dO specimens) are 

 apparently hitherto undescribed. All but one belong to the 

 subfamilies published in Sarawak Museum Journal 3. 



ACONTIANAB. 



l-2'2. Carea fuscosa sp. n. 



Cf, 34-87 mm. 



Very near to C. moira Rwinh., Ann. Mag. Hist. (6) xii, 

 p. 262, 1898. Selangor, l>ut the fore wing is mikado-brown 

 (Pidgway, pi. xxix). largely suffused, eyept at termen, with 

 vinaceous russet (l.c pi. xxviii) and tinsfed with chocolate, 

 especially near base of wino- ; postmedial line distinctly bent 

 inward in cell ; subterminal hardly excurved at middle. 

 OifiFers from moira cbieflv on the hind wang, which in fuscosa 

 is almost entirely sufFnsed with fuscous except at costa and 

 on distal third or fourth of wiuQ- to about M^ the terminal 

 shade being more testaceous (less orange-red) than in moira. 

 Wines beneath nearly uniform testaceous, with the exception 

 of the fringe, costa and lu'nd margin of fore wing and the 

 fringe and a very narrow fuscous area at hind margin of 

 hind wing: fore wing a very rich, deep shade of testaceous; 

 both v\'ino-s with traces of a dark discal lunule. 



Mt. Matann- (P>r. E. IMioberg)— 7 cf- 



Tt is iust possible thnt this really a dark mountain race 

 of fnoira ; but as morp or less normal forms of moira are 

 known from Borneo and as the species in this genus are so 

 confusinijlv close to one another, it has seemed safer to 

 regard fuscosa as specifically distinct unless for until) any 

 evidence is found to the contrary.
