218 Colonel C. Swinhoe on 
Hab. Singapore, Sarawak, Borneo, Celebes. 
The mistake was quite natural ; on looking over the B. M.- 
collection I found three forms of plagifera, Walker, over that 
name, and quite forgot that twenty-four years ago I had 
described the male of one of them. 
Family Noctuidae. 
Aramuna padanga, nov. 
qd. Fore wing ochreous brown, indications of an inner 
transverse line; a medial rather broad and erect brownish 
band, bent inwards below the costa; a postmedial black 
line, much curved outwards and inwards, and indications 
of a brown patch on the costa close to the apex: hind wing 
pale greyish brown, without markings. Underside: fore 
wing dark brown, the apical and outer marginal space paler, 
the hinder margin broadly whitish. Head and body above 
and below and the legs concolorous with the wings. 
Expanse of wings, ¢, 1 inch. 
Hab. Padang, Sumatra. 
Genus BocuLa, Guenée. 
Bocula, Guenée, Noct. iii. p. 295 (1852), 
Borsippa, Walker, xy. p. 1756 (1858). 
Bocula poaphilovdes. 
Thermesia poaphiloides, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc. vii. p. 186 (1864). 
Dyrzela poaphilorides, Swinhoe, Cat. Het. Mus. Oxon. ii. p. 42, pl. i. 
tig. 7 (1900). 
Hab. Sarawak, Borneo ; Padang, Sumatra. 
My specimen seems to be identical with my figure of 
Walker’s type in Mus. Oxon. It is very difficult to place 
the different species of this group, whether they come into 
the section Bocula or Aramuna, divided by male characters 
only. ‘The males of the group are exceedingly rare; in the 
eleven species in my collection there are only two males, and 
the types of nearly all are females; therefore all these species 
must, until their males are found, be confined to the genus 
Bocula. 
Bocula punctilinea. 
Borsippa punctilinea, Hampson, Ill. Het. viii. p. 83, pl. cxlvi. fig. 14, 2 
(1891). 
Hab. Nilgiri Hills (type). 
I have specimens from Port Blair and Cherra Punji which 
seem to me identical with the Nilgiri type, all females.
