360 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 



grey, the postmedian line much less strongly defined and 

 placed at nearly twice the distance from the outer margin. 

 Expanse of wings 1 inch 8 lines. 



Referred by Walker to the genus Hadena. 



Apameidae. 



31. Apaniea limbata, n. sp. (no. 749). 



Primaries sandy whitish, mottled with grey, the central belt, 

 represented by two divergent undulated geminate black lines 

 enclosing the discoidal spots, which are also outlined in black ; 

 reniform spot dark grey ; an abbreviated black geminate litura 

 close to the base, the costal area between the latter and the 

 central belt suffused with dark grey ; area between the central 

 belt and the irregular outer border blackish, excepting at inner 

 margin ; outer border whitish, with widely bisinuate internal 

 edge, a few scattered black scales and a marginal series of 

 black dots ; fringe testaceous, spotted with black : secondaries 

 silky white, the external area, especially at apex, suffused with 

 smoky brown ; a spot closing the cell and a dentate-sinuate 

 discal line of the same colour : body greyish brown ; tegulae 

 grey at base, metathorax crossed by two subconfiuent grey 

 spots. Wings below shining sordid white ; primaries slightly 

 suffused with grey and with a distinct externally excised 

 discal grey belt followed by a slender line of the same colour, 

 marginal dots and fringe as above ; secondaries with a spot at 

 the end of the cell, a number of scattered scales on the costal 

 area, a discal series of abbreviated dashes, and a marginal series 

 of dots black : body below sandy brownish. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 7 lines. 



Possibly this may be the " Caradrina variolosa " of Mot- 

 schulsky ; but if so, the description is too imperfect for satis- 

 factory identification. 



Noctuidse. 



32. Agrotis depravata, n. sp. (no. 660). 



Primaries whity brown, spotted here and there with greyish 

 brown ; an abbreviated black-edged zigzag pale line limiting 

 the basal area ; upon the latter several dark brown spots ; two 

 irregular parallel discal series of black lunules and a marginal 

 series of partially confluent black dots ; discoidal spots indis- 

 tinctly indicated by black scales : secondaries sordid white, 

 with diffused brown external area and blackish marginal 

 line : body sordid whitish. Under surface sordid sericeous 

 greyish white ; wings with a slender black-dotted marginal 

 line. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines.
