200 Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 



grey lunule on the discocellulars ; postmedial line from about three- 

 fifths costa, strongly bent outward to SC 5 , slightly excurved round 

 cell and incurved in fold ; subterminal line proximally and distally 

 defined by reddish and slate-colour, angled inward about SC 5 , thence 

 nearly straight to tornus ; fringe reddish-brown intermixed with slate- 

 colour, with a slight pale line at base. 



Hind wing greyish-white, with grey discal dot, indistinct curved 

 postmedial line, and fine grey terminal line ; fringe ochreous-white. 



Underside of both wings greyish-white, hind wing with the 

 abdominal half of the basal area whiter. Fore wing with slight 

 discal spot and traces of a slight crenulate postmedial line ; costa 

 and tips of fringes tinged with rufous, fringe with an ochreous line 

 at base. Hind wing with fuscous discal spot, crenulate postmedial 

 line, and fine terminal line ; fringe pale, the apical fourth shaded 

 with fuscous. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, one ? . 



An unusually narrow-winged species for the genus Agrotis, but 

 appears to belong here. Perhaps near to the last two species 

 (magnisigna being also rather narrow-winged), but cannot be placed 

 with certainty in the absence of the $ . 



HADENINAE. 

 8. Tiracola rufimargo Warr. versicolor subsp, nov. 



3 , ? , 53—58 mm. 



Differs from T. rufimargo rufimargo Warr. chiefly in the sharper, 

 more contrasted markings of the fore wing and the large pale reniform, 

 the latter being defined distally and proximally by heavy dark shading, 

 intersected by the whitish veins. Postmedial line of dots distally edged 

 by a slight pale line ; orbicular sometimes with a nearly complete white 

 annulus, very variable in size ; base of wing and area between post- 

 medial and subterminal lines usually pale pinkish- or greenish-grey, the 

 termen (except apex) and anterior half of medial area always more or 

 less darkened (sometimes strongly banded), usually tinged with reddish. 

 In one ab. the reniform is almost entirely white, the orbicular a very 

 large white circle, broadly interrupted by the ground-colour at the 

 middle of the cell. In several specimens the reniform has a moderate- 

 sized clear yellow spot at the middle of its distal edge. The medial 

 dark band appears usually to be stronger in the ? .
