Indo- Malay an and Australian Noctuidse. 123 



Libisosa obiana, nov. 



3 ? . A smaller insect than caneusalis, Walker, from 

 Queensland, or phcedrusalis, Walker, from Borneo : fore 

 wing narrower ; hind wing white. 



Hab. Obi, six examples. 



Plecoptera occulata. 



Poaphila occulata, Moore, Lep. Atkinson, p. 172, pi. v. fig. 11 (1882). 

 Heliothis juncea, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1885, p. 448, pi. xxvii. fig. 4. 

 Heliothis resistens, Hanipson (nee Walker), Moths of India, ii. p. 519 

 (1894). 



Hab. Khasia Hills, Bombay. 



I have a long series of both sexes ; it is a perfectly distinct 

 species, no variations. Moore's figure is so bad I did not 

 recognize it when describing juncea, and the type was in 

 coll. Staudinger, in Germany. 



Plecoptera quasita. 



Remigia quasita, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1885, p. 468, p], xxvii. fig. 8. 

 Heliothis resistens, Hanipson (nee Walker), Moths of India, ii. p. 519 

 (1894). 



Hab. Khasia Hills, Bombay, Nilgiris, Burma, Andamans, 

 Gugerat. 



I have a long series of both sexes ; no variations. All these 

 Plecopteras are very constant in their coloration and pattern. 



Orcesia argyrosigna. 



Orcesia argyrosigna, Moore, Lep. Ceylon, iii. p. 77, pi. cliii. fig. 4 



(1884). 

 Calpe provocans, Hampson (nee Walker), Moths of India, ii. p. 565 



(1894). 



Hab. Ceylon, Nilgiris, Sikkim, Assam. 



Provocans is an African insect, and is certainly not the 

 same as the Indian species. I have it from Natal, where the 

 tj r pe came from ; the shading is somewhat similar, but it is 

 otherwise different in character. I will publish the genitalia 

 of both in another paper. 



Genus Attonda, nov. 



Palpi and venation as iu Acantholipes, antennae of male 

 minutely ciliated : fore wing with the costa nearly straight, 

 apex subacute, outer margin evenlv rounded, wing broad : 



10*
