434 Some apparently new Noctuidae from Sumatra, etc. 



reddish patch at base of inner margin of fore wing extra large and 

 conspicuous. Fore wing with a more or less distinct green antemedial 

 line, outwardly oblique to M, thence inwardly oblique and angled in 

 fold ; black cell-dot moderately distinct ; postmedial line dark (without 

 the pale shade), diffused, obliquely curved; subterminal represented by 

 dark dots on the veins, sometimes forming a more or less continuous 

 line. Underside predominantly purplish-red, without bright hair on 

 fore wing and in fold of hind wing. 



? , 35 — 42 mm. 



Thorax and fore wing pale yellowish-green in tone ; hind wing 

 pale orange, whitish at base. Fore wing beneath much as in ? of 

 angalipennis ; hind wing whitish, anteriorly and distally irrorated with 

 yellow-green ; no red or orange hair either in fold or at hindmargin.

Easily distinguished by the small size, narrow fore wing and 

 postmedial pale line. 



It is just possible that this species may have to sink to C. viridam 

 Heyl. {Gonitis viridam Heyl., C. R. Ent. Soc. Belg., 1890, p. xxx [East 

 Java]), which Hampson erroneously cites as a synonym of distincta 

 Leech, but as there is nothing in the description of viridam but the 

 size (32 mm.) to identify it as this species rather than as either of the 

 others in the genus, and as the fore wing is said to be entirely without 

 markings, it has seemed best to disregard the name until more material 

 is to hand from East Java. 



A single rather worn 3 in coll. Joicey from Soekaboemi, West Java, 

 appears distinct from all the above species, being somewhat inter- 

 mediate between angulipennis and gonopliora. In this specimen the 

 outer line is most nearly as in angulipennis but a little nearer the 

 termen than even in that species ; it has also the coppery-red color- 

 ation of angulipennis on abdominal third of hind wing. In size, 

 shape and general facies, however, it more nearly resembles gonopliora. 

 Viridam Heyl. may well be a unicolorous aberration of this species.
