Some apparently new Noctuidae from Sumatra, etc. 439 



black line beyond it, angled at E 1 ; posterior half of subterminal line 

 more crenulate than in juno. 



Hind wing somewhat as in juno, but the dark area more grey- 

 brown and somewhat angled at E 1 , the bluish-white line narrow, nearly 

 straight, the terminal area golden-yellow, with only the fringe (and 

 sometimes the veins) tinged with scarlet. 



Underside as in D. juno. 



? , 80—90 mm. 



Usually more marked with blackish than the $ ; termen in all 

 specimens and medial area in one or two distinctly paler, more con- 

 trasted. Hind wing with the posterior yellow shading extending into 

 the cell at base, to M' near termen. 



South-West Sumatra : Slopes of Mount Korintji, 7,300 feet, August- 

 September, 1921, eighteen $ $ , fifteen ? 2 ; North Korintji Valley, 

 5,000 feet, September-October, 1921, fifteen $ $ , eight ? ? . 



Near to D. juno, but the marked difference in shape, apart from 

 other striking differences, makes it appear to me impossible to regard 

 it as merely a subspecies. 



DIPTHEEINAE. 



13. Dipthera androdes sp. nov. (pi. XIII, fig. 11). 

 $ , 43 — 49 mm. ; ? , 49 — 53 mm. 



Near to champa Moore (Moma champa Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 1879, 403, pi. xxxiii, fig. 2 [Dharmsala]), from which it differs in the 

 following particulars. 



Hind wing of cT beneath with a thick patch of brownish-yellow hair 

 in and behind cell, extending from base of cell to the almost obsolete 

 postmedial line and from middle of cell almost to fold, along which 

 there is a narrow streak of longer and somewhat paler hair ; in $ and 

 2 of champa this area appears to be clothed only with sparse, pale- 

 yellowish hair, confined chiefly to M and not extending beyond end of 

 cell, much as in the ? of androdes. Androconical hair on costa and 

 inner margin is almost identical in the two forms. 



The fore wing above (especially in the $ ) is purer white than in 

 champa, often faintly tinged with bluish or greenish rather than with 

 the slight pinkish or purplish sheen of champa. In androdes the sub- 

 basal and antemedial markings are usually more interrupted, the medial 

 costal bar is more erect and the postmedial lines appear slightly nearer 

 termen than in champa, leaving a small area of the white ground colour
