432 Some apparently new Noctuidae from Sumatra, etc. 



E 1 ; a black terminal line and lines on the veins uniting the terminal 

 line with the subterminal ; an oblique black streak from apex ; fringe 

 yellowish-white with black streaks between the veins. 



Hind wing creamy-white with a broad blackish border (about two- 

 fifths across wing) more or less broadly interrupted by whitish at 

 middle from before M 1 to fold and on termen behind SM 2 , with sub- 

 terminal pale spots on the veins from costa to K 3 ; a rather broad, 

 angled discal spot, almost joining a postmedial line from costa, which 

 is nearly obsolete behind cell, usually showing as a black spot in fold ; 

 fringe chequered black and white. 



Underside much like upperside but fore wing with the black shades 

 less intense, rather more diffused ; hind wing with the black markings 

 sharper and darker than above, and with a row of sharply-defined 

 whitish spots at termen.

May probably really belong to a new genus, being very distinct from 

 any Bisoba species known to me and differing from Hampson's diagnosis 

 of the genus or from repugnans Wlkr. (Thyatira repugnans Wlkr., ix, 

 9 [1856] [Punjab]) in the following particulars: segment 2 of palpus 

 rather shorter than in repugnans (almost the same length as segment 1, 

 which seems unusually long); segment 3 short (not "moderate"); 

 antennal fascicles of cilia extending to barely two-thirds of shaft ; 

 thorax seems clothed entirely with scales ; anal tuft divided in three 

 (the lateral tufts shorter than central one) ; abdomen with short but 

 strongly-marked lateral tufts ; termen scarcely crenulate. In retina- 

 culum, general build, length of antenna, etc., however, diphtheropsis 

 agrees with the genus Bisoba, so I place it there provisionally. 



ACONTIANAE. 



6. Glethrophora angulipennis sp. nov. (pi. XIII, fig. 6). 



S , 46 mm. 



Coloration nearly as in distincta but thorax and fore wing darker, 

 rather more bluish-green ; abdomen deep brownish-red ; the hind wing 

 slightly deeper in tone, with less brown hair at abdominal margin than 

 in distincta. Fore wing with the cell-dot very slight, the pale post- 

 medial line distally edged with a broad diffused line of darker green
