Some apparently new Species and, Forms of Noctuidae 241 



60. Lineopalpa horsfieldi Gn. chlora subsp. nov. 

 S ? , 32—42 mm. 



Differs from typical horsfieldi chiefly in the rather greener ground- 

 colour and redder tone of markings ; altogether rather brighter and 

 more contrasted than the type-form. Antemedial line usually bent 

 inward behind fold instead of more or less oblique throughout, but 

 varies in both forms ; postmedial line generally more angled in fold in 

 horsfieldi chlora than in the type-form. Underside of both wings 

 rather brighter and more sharply marked than in typical horsfieldi. 



A very variable species in Ceram. Some of the principal aberra- 

 tions are named below. 



Ab. albistriga ab. nov. has a broad white streak behind M and 

 M 2 from base to postmedial line, the reniform and a band distally to 

 postmedial line pale green, narrowly edged with white. S only. 



Ab. albifascia ab. nov. has the reniform and postmedial distal band 

 pure white only slightly shaded with green. $ only. 



Intermediates between these two forms and between them and the 

 type-form occur in $ or ? . 



Ab. albimaculata ab. nov. has the reniform with large outstanding 

 anterior and posterior white spots. 8 ? . 



Ab. diffusisigna ab. nov. has most of the distal edge of reniform 

 lost in a pale patch extending to postmedial line. ? only. 



In some forms the green lines of fore wing are much brighter than 

 in others ; the fore wing beneath is sometimes strongly tinged with 

 rufous. 



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

 twelve ? ? ; 3,000 feet, October to November, 1919, one $ ; 4,600 feet, 

 January, 1920, one $ , one ? . 



61. Savara longipectinata sp. nov. 

 cT , 44 — 46 mm. 



Head, thorax, palpus, and antenna greyish dove-colour, the frons, 

 clavola beneath and palpus whitish ; abdomen greyish dove-colour with 

 whitish lateral streaks ; pectus and legs whitish shaded with dove 

 colour, femora, and tibiae with some darker shading ; fore tarsus banded 

 with black. 



Fore wing with the proximal three-fifths uniformly greyish dove- 

 colour, the distal two-fifths olivaceous (in one specimen broadly pale
