Differs from 2386, which must stand as Sypna lucilla, Butl.,= 

 obscurata, Butl.,= renisigna, Moore, in the antennae of male being

 entirely obsolete.

2402. Nyctipao Meroglyphica. The male stridulates loudly in 

 flight, and the abortion of the large glandular scent-organ of the

 habit. 



Before 2405 insert : 



" SECT. III. Male with no glandular patch or abortion of costal

 darker brown scales. Eore wing suffused with fuscous brown, 

 leaving the inner area and a diffused oblique submarginal band 

 from apex ochreous brown ; somewhat indistinct double waved
