250 Some apparently new Species and Forms of Noctuidae 



Fore wing pinkish-grey suffused with brown, a diffused band distally 

 to the postmedial line and a subapical patch paler, without brown 

 suffusion ; antemedial line reddish-brown, diffused, slightly excurved, 

 from two-sevenths costa to one-fourth hindmargin ; orbicular a dark- 

 outlined white spot ; reniform indistinct (appears rather narrow, 

 kidney-shaped) ; postmedial line from four-sevenths costa, slightly bent 

 outward to about K 1 , thence making a very slight inward curve to hind- 

 margin at four-sevenths ; broad black subterminal dashes behind SC 4 

 and SC 5 ; an oblique black streak from apex to behind R 1 , where it 

 joins a horizontal black streak with broad triangular dark shading 

 behind it ; a diffused subterminal dark shade on posterior two-thirds 

 of wing, with traces of a pale line on it here and there ; a broad dark 

 terminal line ; fringe dark-brown with traces of a pale line at base and 

 streaks at the veins. 



Hind wing almost uniform grey-brown with a broad dark terminal 

 line and slight dark line at middle of fringe. 



Both wings beneath grey-brown ; posterior third of fore wing and 

 two-thirds of hind wing paler ; both wings with a diffused dark post- 

 medial line. Fore wing with a postmedial white streak from costa and 

 subterminal dentate white marks behind SC 4 and SC 5 ; hind wing with 

 a dark discal spot and slight subterminal dark shade. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, one $ . 



Probably near to H. columbana Moore, from Ceylon, but quite 

 distinct. 



Note. — One Hypenid, which does not seem to fit in to any known 

 genus, is held over for further study. 



HYBL,EIN;E. 



71. Hyblaea subcserulea sp. nov. 

 ? , 33 mm. 



Head, palpus above and thorax? (almost denuded) very dark purple- 

 brown ; abdomen above black-brown slightly ringed with whitish, 

 and laterally striped with black and white ; palpus and body beneath 

 whitish ; legs white, shaded and irrorated in parts with blackish. 



Upperside of both wings nearly as in the typical $ of constellata 

 Gn. (from Sylhet) ; fore wing with the termen rather more strongly 

 excurved behind apex than in constellata and with the dark markings
