17. Phalera peruda, sp. n. (Plate XXIX. fig. 4.) 



S . Primaries silvery grey, shading to pale brown along the costal 

 margin ; the apical buflf spot very like that of P. javana, Moore, but 

 much rounder on the inner side and in colour more like that of P. 

 buce;phala, Linn. Secondaries very pale silvery brown, slightly 

 darker along the inner margin. The underside of all the wings 

 almost white. The head and front of the thorax greyish. The

 primaries. 



NOCTUITES. 



Fam. Leucanid^. 



18. Leucania, sp. ? 



One specimen from Aola in very bad condition. 



Fam. Caradrinid^. 



19. Amyna stellata ? 



Amyna stellata, 1 Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, i. p. 162 ; 

 lUust. Lep. Het. pt. ii. p. 26, t. xxix. f. 6. 



The specimens from Aola are almost identical with those in my 

 collection from Japan excepting that the white spot on the primaries 

 is considerably larger ; they may prove to belong to a distinct species, 

 but at present I have not sufficient specimens to determine this point.
