416 Some New Forms of Indo- Australian Noctuidae 



broken into spots on the veins ; a slight dark discal spot ; fringe white, 

 with dark lines at centre and at tips, slightly interrupted at the veins. 



Underside of fore wing predominantly fuscous, paler at base and 

 hind margin, with a postmedial white spot on cosfca, white spots on 

 termen and white streaks at the veins on fringe ; slight dark ante- 

 medial, medial and postmedial lines. Hind wing white with fuscous 

 irroration at costa and terminal shading ; a dark cell-dot, slight, nearly 

 straight medial line and dentate postmedial line, strongly excurved 

 from costa to fold, thence bent outward to near tornus ; termen and 

 fringe lined with fuscous. 



<?, 32 mm. 



Apparently somewhat paler on both wings above and beneath than 

 the ? , but is in very poor condition. 



S.W. Sumatra : Barisan Eange, western slopes, 2,500 feet, 

 October-November, 1921 (C, F., and J. Pratt), one $ , one ? . A ? 

 from Bidi, Sarawak, 1907-08 (C. J. Brooks), which appears to agree 

 with the type of ocellata except in the slightly smaller size, is before 

 me as I write. 



A very distinct species ; perhaps nearest to B. jucunda Walk. 

 (Diphthera jucunda Walk., Journ. Linn. Soc. ZooI.,m\, p. 178 [1862] 

 [Sarawak]). 



ACONTIANAE.

 ( ? ). (Central Ceram). 



$ , 38 mm. 



Base of antennal shaft, head, thorax and fore wing light cadmium 

 yellow (see Eidgway, pi. iv). Markings as in the ?, but the red 

 lines slightly broader and darker. Abdomen with a rather long creamy- 

 white anal tuft, the ventral surface tinged with yellow. Underside of 

 both wings almost uniform cadmium yellow (Eidgway pi. iii), with the 

 exception of the proximal two-thirds of fore wing from fold to hind 

 margin, which is almost white ; slight markings as in the ? . 



Central West Buru : Gamoe 'Mrapat, 5,000 feet, March-April, 

 1922 (C, F., and J. Pratt), one $ . Taken with one typical 2 and 

 two ? ? of ab. jacobi, which do not appear to differ from specimens 

 from Central Ceram.
