Moths in the Jotcey Collection. 181 
Rather variable, some forms superficially recalling eusciata, 
Hmipsn., but with the first jot of mid-tarsus not fringed 
above. “ In the type-form there are strong bright ferru- 
ginous shades proximally to the antemedian line between 
cell and hind margin, and again near tornus, but these vary 
much in intensity and are sometimes entirely obsolete. 
In Hampson’s figure of the palpus of “ serva” (Cat. Lep. 
Phal. xn. p. 521, fig. 123), the third joint is shown about 
twice as long as it appears in the fully-clothed palpus of 
true serva, but not quite as long as in the allies. As the 
figure of the entire insect does not belong here (see infra), 
it is not improbable that the anatomical details were also 
drawn from one of the allies; but, in any case, the importance 
of absolute precision in dealing with the palpi of this group 
was evidently underestimated. 
24. Achaea pentasema, sp. n. (prec. subsp. ?). 
3 2 .—72-82 mm. 
Likewise similar to serva, but with the ¢ palpus of the 
preceding species. 
Fore wing ochreous to red-brown, the purple gloss weak 
or wanting ; markings as in serva and ministra, the dark 
cloudings of terminal area rarely very strong; reniform 
stigma commonly (as in some serva) obsolete, except for the 
anterior and posterior black dots; postmedian line in the 
type shaped as in serva, in other examples less sharply 
bent at R'; fringe pale, but rarely as pale as in ministra. 
Hind wing with all five spots sharply expressed, the 
terminal one near tornus broader and much better defined 
than in either of the allies (also better defined beneath). 
Underside nearly as in the lighter and more variegated 
forms of serva, the blackish distal suffusion between post- 
median line and tornus of fore wing always strong.
