Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuiclae 217' 



pectus tinged with rufous and the ventral surface of abdomen more 

 decidedly rufous than in the type-form. 



Fore wing rufous-grey ; the subterminal line more distinct than 

 in typical trigoniphora (though somewhat diffused), and with a more 

 acute angle behind SC 5 ; distal edge of the triangular olive-brown 

 patch excurved from costa to fold (almost swelled outward rather than 

 incurved behind E 2 ). 



Hind wing with the proximal half whitish, shading to fuscous-brown 

 at termen ; fringe as in typical trigoniphora. 



Underside of both wings in the ? with the costa and termen tinged 

 with pink, nearer to hampsoni Beth.-Bak. than to trigoniphora trigoni- 

 phora ; fore wing otherwise as in typical trigoniphora ; hind wing white 

 with some fuscous irroration on the pink terminal border. 3 with the 

 costa of fore wing rufous ; hind wing only white in the fold, in proximal 

 part of cell and before the origin of M 2 . 



4,600 feet, January, 1920, one 3 ; Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to 

 December, 1919, eight ? ? . 



In some respects forms a transition to A. hampsoni Beth.-Bak. (from 

 New Guinea), which is doubtless another subspecies of trigoniphora. 

 Easily distinguishable from both typical trigoniphora and hampsoni by 

 the more rufous ground-colour of fore wing, the strongly angled sub- 

 terminal line, the shape of the olive-brown patch, and the whiter hind 

 wing above and beneath. 



29. Carea varipes Wlkr. leucobathra subsp. nov. 



$ , 46 — 48 mm. 



Head and thorax pale ochreous tinged with olive ; palpus and 

 antenna as in typical varipes ; dorsum of abdomen rather paler than in 

 the typical form. 



Fore wing pale reddish-ochreous, irrorated with silvery-grey, almost 

 without black irroration ; black points in cell and on discocellulars, as in 

 varipes varipes ; the double blackish line near termen scarcely incurved, 

 with the proximal shading olive-green (not brownish) ; some purplish- 

 grey subapical irroration beyond it ; fringe as in typical varipes. 



Hind wing with the proximal area from behind middle of costa to 

 tornus pure white, the costa and distal half of wing orange-red. 



Underside of fore wing behind cell and B 2 (except at termen) 

 whitish, only slightly tinged with pink; the termen of both wings 

 brighter orange than in typical varipes, less irrorated with fuscous ;
