Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 213 



M, thence inwardly oblique to one-fourth hindmargin ; antemedial 

 line nearly as in nilotica Rogenh., but distinctly more excurved, 

 proximally bordered by a white band; an ill-defined blackish medial 

 line, acutely angled in the cell and at fold ; an oblique red-brown 

 discoidal striga ; postmedial line white, proximally defined by black 

 spots on the veins, strongly bent outward behind costa, slightly bent 

 inward at R 3 , inwardly oblique to fold and angled outward on SM 2 , 

 with a dark-brown spot in the angle ; subterminal line proximally 

 defined by heavy black spots, bent inward at costa (leaving a white 

 apical spot), almost erect from SM 5 and M 1 , slightly incurved at 

 fold ; a strong black terminal line, thickened to spots between the 

 veins ; fringe very long, white at base and tips, with some dark 

 shading at middle. 



Hind wing as in nilotica. 



Wings beneath greyish-white with slight dark terminal shading. 



2 . Black basal lines of the $ almost obsolete (just traceable ; 

 brown); antemedial line distally followed by a broad blackish baud 

 from costa to fold, thence narrowing to hindmargin and leaving a 

 pure white spot in fold, proximally to postmedial line. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, one $ , one 2 . 



In Section I of Hampson ; placed by the antemedial line should 

 come between vallata Meyr. and scoparioides Wlkr. 



24. Nanaguna teleoleuca sp. nov. 



2 , 27 mm. 



Head, palpus and thorax white, sparsely irrorated with brown ; 

 abdomen above apparently ochreous-white (may be discoloured) ; 

 pectus, femora and abdomen beneath white ; tibiae and tarsi tinged 

 with ochreous. 



Fore wing with the ground-colour pure white, suffused and irrorated 

 with brown except an area behind the distal half of costa, and a broad 

 band on posterior part of wing from base at middle, narrowing to 

 tornus ; the brown shades somewhat variegated, tinged in parts with pale 

 rufous and greyish. A proximally pale-edged subbasal striga from costa 

 and a dark spot on M ; a slight waved, pale-edged, dark line from about 

 one-seventh costa to one-seventh hindmargin ; a proximally pale-edged, 

 blackish antemedial (?) line from two-sevenths costa, outwardly oblique 

 to behind SC, strongly angled inward in cell, outwardly oblique to 

 fold and incurved to middle of hindmargin, distally defined by some
