222 Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 



distinctly incurved to hindmargin towards tornus ; a very indistinct 

 subterminal shade (much as in the last two species) ; a slight dark 

 shade at apex ; fringe purplish-fuscous at middle, whitish at base 

 and tips. 



Hind wing in S pale orange-red, the whitish areas nearly as in the 

 last species; androconial hair reddish and brown; in S rather paler, 

 the fold whitish. 



Underside of both wings in $ pale orange-red, with traces of the 

 olive-brown and bright red shades of the last species at costa and in 

 cell of fore wing, but the former narrower, irrorated with fuscous, the 

 latter broadly diffused; a broad purplish-fuscous apical shade on fore 

 wing, a slight one on hind wing. Underside of 2 ochreous-white, 

 with pale rufous shades in cell. of fore wing and at costa and termen 

 of hind wing ; the apical shade much paler than in the $ . 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, two $ $ , 

 two ? ? . 



Distinguished from C. felix by the antenna, as well as by the 

 different tone of colour, diffused markings, discal streak (not point), 

 paler underside, &c. ; from caroli by the longer fore wing, with more 

 rounded tornus, as well as by the different tone of colour, &c. Termen 

 of fore wing rather more evenly rounded in this species than in either 

 of the other two. 



35. Maceda rotundimacula Warr. ? . 



<?, Nov. Zool. xix, 48 (1912) (Brit. New Guinea). 

 2 , 37—39 mm. 



Head and thorax above fuscous ; pectus, legs, and abdomen as in $ . 



Fore wing above purplish-fuscous, with a rufous basal patch, shaped 

 as in the $ but brighter red ; black cellspot and indistinct postmedial 

 line much as in the $ ; the broad dark subapical shade and round 

 apical spot present but much less conspicuous than in the $ , both 

 being somewhat approximated to the purplish ground-colour. 



Hind wing and underside of both wings nearly as in the <? , the 

 apical spot on fore wing beneath a little less distinct. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, three ? ? ; also 

 seven $ $ . 



Not improbably a new subspecies, the $ being decidedly larger 

 than in the two $ $ in coll. Rothschild (from Brit. New Guinea and 

 Queensland), with a more strongly angled postmedial line, a larger
