Moths in the Joicey Collection. 169 
a conspicuous grey-white patch behind cell near base, as in 
fosteri, Hmpsn. 
Hind wing with termen fuller in middle than in wylinoides 
(shaped more as in fosteri), the apex consequently less 
pointed ; coloration nearly as in the darkest wylinoides, but 
slightly more clouded still, at least in apical and distal 
region, 
Underside much as in heavily-marked wylinoides, but with 
the longitudinal line of upperside developed in distal half. 
Minca, Colombia, 2000 feet (H. H. Smith), type and 
another @?. 
Perhaps the 2 to «xylinoides, which occurred with it in 
the same locality—which, however, is undoubtedly very rich 
in Noctuide. Unfor tunately, 2 2 of many of the species 
are still unknown. 
7. Agonista endochrysa, sp. n. 
3 .—96-98 mm. 
Head and thorax above velvety black-brown ; pectus 
chocolate-brown, posteriorly mixed with ochreous ; hind 
coxa, femur, and tibia predominantly ochreous ; abdomen 
golden yellow, dorsal surface anteriorly black-brown, narrow- 
ing off to a point about the fifth segment. 
Fore wing velvety black-brown ; fringe golden yellow, 
becoming black-brown behind SM?®. 
Hind wing velvety black-brown, somewhat lighter apically ; 
abdominal margin golden yellow; fringe golden yellow from 
tornus to before M’*. 
Fore wing beneath dull chocolate-brown, rather darker 
basally ; a sma!l indistinct dark spot at end of cell; a row of 
minute yellow subterminal dots between the veins (smaller 
than those of plateni) ; fringe yellow. Hind wing beneath 
slightly darker, the abdominal region yellow about to M’, 
more or less heavily irrorated with dark brown at the junction 
of the two colours. 
N. Borneo, the type from Sandakan (4. L. Cook). 
Possibly the Borneo race of endoleuca, Guen. Has been 
misidentified as plateni, Pag. (compare Hmpsn., Cat. Lep. 
Phal. xi. p. 268). The true plateni, from Palawan, is very 
different and should form a separate section of the genus, 
with normally shaped ¢ hind wing (not elongate to tornus ; 
termen convex) ; the absence of yellow on the abdomen, 
presence of a golden-yellow terminal band on hind wing 
from tornus to R?, narrower yellow abdominal margin above, 
more extended yellow abdominal region of hind wing 
beneath, and pale yellow tornus of fore wing beneath, further 
distinguish the Palawan species.
