patch in the region of veins M 2 and Cu 2 to the subterminal fascia ; some light 

 ochraceous buff on the costa before and after the fasciae ; a patch of fuscous 

 black below vein Cu 2 between postmedial and subterminal fasciae. Hindwing 

 fuscous black, with a white fascia before the middle narrowing to a point just 

 below the cubital veins, with a trace of white between that point and the inner 

 margin ; apex white ; two small white spots towards termen on veins Cu L 

 and Cu 2 , that on the latter larger ; inner margin hair brown. Underside of 

 forewing proximally hair brown, a white medial fascia, distally fuscous black, 

 with white irroration before termen, the veins distally white except just before 

 termen, where the white is cut by the crenate terminal line ; underside of hind- 

 wing similar, but with some fuscous black at end of cell before broader white 

 medial fascia ; hardly any white irroration, apex white. 

 Expanse : 57 mm. 



Holotype Upolu : Malololelei, 2,000 feet, 22.iii.1925. 

 Paratype Upolu : Apia, 18.ix.1922 (Armstrong). 



The paratype $ is worn, and was in my opinion unsuitable for a type 

 specimen, though it lacks the large patch of tea green on the forewing, a feature 

 which I think must be abnormal. These two females bear some resemblance 

 in pattern to N. hieratica Hampson, the type of which is a Marshall Is. and of 

 which there is a Gilbert Is. $ in the British Museum collection. No Marshall Is. $ 

 is known, but it is possible that when more material comes to hand the species 

 described above may prove to be N. hieratica.
