Moths in the Jokey Collection. 1^1 



Katlier variable, some forms superficially recalling eiisciata, 

 IIiiipsn., but with the first joint of niid-tar.sus not fringed 

 above. In the ty|)C-F()rm there are slronj; bright ferru- 

 {:riuous shades proximally to the antcniedian line between 

 cell and hind margin, and again near t(jrnus, but these vary 

 much in intensity and are sometimes entirely obsolete. 



In Hampson's figure of the palpus of '■'strva" (Cat. Lep. 

 Plial. xii. p. 521, fig. 123), the third joint is shown about 

 twice as long as it appears in the fully-clothcd palpus of 

 true serva, but not (piite 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. Achaa pentasema, sp. n. (pr£EC. subsp. ?). 



cJ ? .—72-82 mm. 



Likewise similar to serva, but with the (^ palpus of the 

 preceding species. 



Fore winy ochreous to red-brown, the pur|)le gloss weak 

 or wanting ; markings as in seiva and ministra, the dark 

 cloudings of terminal area rarely very strong; reniforra 

 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 IV ; 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 se?'tv/, the blackish distal suffusion between post- 

 median line and tornus of fore wing always strong.

Figured by llampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. xii. p. 521, fig. 123,

25. Achaa diaoi', sp. n. 



S ? .—5(5-60 mm. 



Head, thorax, and base of abdomen yellowish brown, 

 sometimes with a rufous tinge ; abdomen otherwise strongly
