Some Neiv Forms of Indo- Australian Noctuidae 423 



Underside of fore wing red, with the costa and termen narrowly and 

 the apex broadly brownish-grey. Hind wing pale reddish, with base 

 and abdominal margin white. 



S.W. Sumatra: North Korintji Valley, 5,000 feet, September- 

 October, 1921, 3 holotype, ? allotype ; also one 3 from slopes of 

 Mount Korintji, 7,300 feet, August-September, 1921. 



Should perhaps be placed next to G. endophsea Hmpsn. (A.M.N.H., 

 [7], xvi., p, 596 [1905] [Travancore]), but does not seem very close to 

 any previously described species. 



15. Carea mixticolor Warr. $ (pi. XXII, fig. 16). 



Didigua mixticolor Warr., Nov. Zool. ; xxiii, p. 221, 1916, Penang, ? . 

 3 , 35 mm. 



Differs from the ? in the reniform lacking the green coloration 

 and having the red bar less bright in tone ; the fore wing is more 

 thickly irrorated with red-brown than in the ? , and the proximal 

 half of costa is irrorated with green ; the 3 has the antemedial line 

 better developed, bent outward from two-sevenths costa, erect from 

 SC to middle of fold, thence sharply oblique to about three-fifths 

 hind margin. On the underside the 3 has a better-developed sub- 

 terminal line, approximated to and nearly following the direction of 

 margins of both wings, chiefly indicated by spots between the veins. 



S.W. Sumatra : North Korintji Valley, 5,000 feet, September- 

 October, 1921, one 3 . 



Belongs to Section IV of Hampson ; probably to IV — C (Didigua), 

 but the hind legs are unfortunately missing in the 3 . 



When more specimens from Penang and Sumatra are to hand it 

 may prove that the above differences are racial rather than sexual. 



OPHIDEEINAE. 



16. Catephia rufostrigata Beth.-Bak. glabripars subsp. nov. 

 3 , ? , 43—50 mm. 



Differs from typical rufostrigata Beth.-Bak. (Nov. ZooL, xiii, p. 251 

 [1906] [Brit. New Guinea]) in the hind tibia, which is typically 

 strongly hairy on segments 1, 2 and 3, and shortly hairy on segment 4, 

 but in subspecies glabripars is hairy only on segments 1 and 2, the hair 

 on segment 2 being rather shorter than in typical rufostrigata. The
