246 Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 



rectalis Ev. and the palpus of clarilinea is unmistakably Hypenine I 

 have placed this species provisionally in Simplicia, though it should 

 possibly belong to a closely-related genus. 



Head and body white, the antennal shaft, palpus and legs ochreous- 

 brown. 



Fore wing white sparsely irrorated with brown, the costa and lines 

 golden, the medial line distally, the postmedial and subterminal lines 

 proximally shaded with olive-brown ; the medial and subterminal lines 

 nearly as in nitida, the postmedial angled outward behind costa, then 

 slightly oblique inward; reniform a fine olive-brown streak; a fine dark 

 terminal line ; fringe whitish at base, greyish at tips. 



Hind wing ochreous-white with some ochreous hair in fold; a slight 

 brown, angled subterminal streak in fold and fine pale-brown terminal 

 line. 



Both wings beneath ochreous-white, the fore wing with costa a little 

 deeper yellow and with slight, greyish postmedial and subterminal lines. 



4,600 feet, January, 1920, two ? ? ; Manusela, 6,000 feet, October 

 to December, 1919, one ? . 



67. Hydrillodes lugens sp. nov. 



? , 38 mm. 



Third segment of palpus very long (fully two-thirds length of second 

 segment) with proximal two-thirds hairy above, apex naked, the hair 

 expanding to a tuft at middle of segment. In build and neuration 

 seems to agree with Hydrillodes lentalis Gn., though the palpus is 

 longer than in that species. 



Head, thorax, palpus and antennae blackish-brown with some 

 metallic purplish scales visible in a strong light ; abdomen above and 

 beneath cinereous-brown, the anus tinged with ochreous ; pectus and 

 legs black-brown, the joints of legs whitish. 



Fore wing ochreous-brown, almost entirely suffused with black- 

 brown, with a pale patch on the disc interrupted by a sinuous dark 

 postmedial line ; slight traces of a pale waved antemedial line from one- 

 fourth costa to two-sevenths hindmargin ; postmedial line somewhat 

 oblique, bent outward from near middle of costa to E 2 and angled 

 inward in cell and fold ; an ill-defined pale subterminal line, strongly 

 excurved between SC 4 and E 2 , and between E 2 and fold; fringe blackish, 

 with a slight pale line at base. 



Hind wing nearly uniform grey-brown, with traces of a pale post- 

 medial shade.
