Heterocera. 



Noctuidae. 



Stictoptera ohalaui, sp. n. 



(^ . Head and collar fawn-brown, the latter with pale

 which is a twin, sharply crenulated, curved postmedian line ; 

 two paler subterminal rows of spots almost forming lines. 

 Secondaries hyaline, with the terminal third dark. 



Expanse 38 mm.

 was the female of pratti -, but I iind this is not the case. 

 Mr. Joicey has received a specimen from the Wandammen 

 Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, wiiich is without doubt the 

 female oi pratti ; the markings are precisely the same, except
