122 Colonel C. Swinlioe on 



Lophoptera cerea. 



Stictoptera cerea, Swinhoe, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xix. p. 167 



(1897). 

 Lophoptera puttulifera, Hampson (part.), Phal. xi. p. 190, pi. clxxix. 



fig. 5 (1912). 



Hab. Gilolo. 



Cerea is not the same as the Sarawak species pustulifera. 

 I have both species in my collection, both sexes of cerea, 

 from Gilolo. It is nearly double the size of Walker's species ; 

 the hind wings have a pure white cilia, whereas in pustuli- 

 fera they are checkered white with clean-cut brown spots 

 opposite the vein ends. 



Subfamily Noctuinje. 



Simplicia schaldusalis. 



Bocana schaldusalis, Walker, xvi. p. 180 (1858).

Swinlioe (part.), Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xix. p. 341 (1917). 



Type, Sarawak, Borneo, in B.M. 

 Type, bimarginata, Sarawak, in Mus. Oxon. 

 Type, infausta, Sarawak, in Mus. Rothschild. 

 Type, griseolimbalis, Sumatra, in Coll. Snellen. 

 I have examples also from Singapur, Obi Isl. (Moluccas), 

 and from the Solomon Isls., and they all seem to be identical. 



Simplicia moorei, nov. 



Nabartha marginata, Moore, Lep. Ceylon, iii. p. 234, pi. clxxvii. fig. 2 



(1885) (praocc.) *. 

 Simplicia schaldusalis, Hampson (part.), Moths of India, iii. p. 35 



(1895). 



Type, Ceylon, in B.M. I have three examples from 

 Kandy and Gampola in Ceylon ; they appear to me to be 

 quite distinct from schaldusalis, especially on the underside. 



Floccicura trilinea. 

 Simplicia trilinea, Beth.-Baker, Nov. Zool. xv. p. 205 (1908). 



Type, Br. N. Guinea, in Coll. Bethune-Baker. I have

 each from Madras, Assam, and Sikkim.
