248 Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 



two-sevenths costa to middle of cell, nearly erect to one-fifth hind- 

 margin; postmedial line waved, bent outward from near middle of costa, 

 nearly erect to E 3 , bent inward to M 2 and nearly erect to hindmargin at 

 about three- fifths ; subterminal line waved, strong from costa to R 

 (where it is slightly angled outward), obsolescent and slightly incurved 

 to hindmargin ; a dark terminal line, thickened between the veins ; 

 fringe dark-brown with a lunular pale line at base. 



Hind wing reproducing the coloration and pattern of the fore wing 

 but with the medial area darker, the white discal spot larger, the post- 

 medial line stronger and the subterminal line weak throughout ; the 

 creamy-white terminal spot behind R 1 also weaker than on fore wing. 

 Postmedial line bent outward and more strongly waved between R 1 and 

 R 3 . 



Underside of both wings violet-grey with the lines (especially the 

 subterminal) broadly denned by dark-brown ; apex and posterior half of 

 termen on both wings dark-brown ; anterior half of termen (except 

 apex) to behind R 2 yellow. Discal spots and outer lines as above, hind 

 wing with an additional straight brown line proximally to the discal 

 spot. Fringes as above. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, one <? . 



Appears superficially nearest to Adrapsa geometroides Wlkr. (Lusia, 

 praeocc.) from Ceylon, but does not agree in palpus, geometroides being 

 very near to A. ablualis in palpus — probably a true Adrapsa. 



69. Hypena euphyes sp. nov. 



$ , 35 mm. 



Antenna ciliate, with the ciliation not quite as long as diameter of 

 shaft. Palpus with the second segment thickly hairy beneath, hairy 

 also above, especially at the extremity ; third joint short, triangularly 

 tufted with hair, leaving the extreme end naked, the hair longer above. 



Head, thorax, palpus, and antenna blackish with some scattered 

 violet-white scales ; abdomen dark cinereous-brown above, a little paler 

 beneath ; femora and legs blackish, the mid-femora and mid-tibia paler 

 beneath ; tarsal joints pale. 



Fore wing dark-brown thickly irrorated with violet scales distally 

 and sparsely so proximally to the postmedial line, a little more thickly 

 at base ; a slight, diffused, blackish antemedial line from costa at nearly 

 one-third to two-sevenths hindmargin, slightly incurved about M ; a 

 slight, oblique, broad medial dark shade ; traces of a black orbicular
