in Group II, excepting only N. cuneigera, in which even the wing-pattern, as 

 well as the structure of the head, suggests an interloper. Unfortunately I have 

 been obliged to omit from these statistics one Bornean species, since I know 

 only of it ; this is N. juventinaria Guen. (Spec. Gen. Lip., ix, 103, 1858) = 

 pulchrilineata Walk. (List. Lep. Ins., xxiv, 1095, 1862). 



The following, which were described under Nadagara, are to be excluded 

 from the genus : N. grisea Butler (1883), N. punctilinearia and N. albovenaria 

 Leech (1897), N. diver silineata Warren (1896), 2V. obrussata Holland (1900), and 

 N. camura Joicey and Talbot (1917). 



30. Nadagara hypomerops, sp. n. 



o$, 35-37 mm. Head and front of thorax reddish-brown, more or less 

 intermingled with darker colouring. Palpus rather over 2, with the terminal 

 segment markedly elongate, especially in the Thorax and abdomen pale 

 (pinkish-buff or pinkish-cinnamon), more or less mixed, especially in the 

 with red-brown. Hind tibia in <§ dilated, with hair-pencil, the abdominal spine 

 long and slender. 



Fore wing moderately broad, termen not extremely oblique, waved to 

 faintly crenulate, with the concavity between apex and SC 5 rather pronounced ; 

 stalk of SC 1-2 anastomosing well with C ; rather variable in colour, as far as the 

 postmedian line (especially in the central area) light ochreous in the more 

 tawny in the the distal area in the <$ inclining to pale vinaceous drab, in the 

 $ generally scarcely differentiated, in both sexes with some dark-grey irroration ; 

 costal edge pale, with dark dashes and longer streaks ; cell-dot blackish ; ante- 

 median line variable, rarely well expressed (sometimes almost entirely obsolete, 

 nearly always so anteriorly), very oblique outward to cell-fold, then more or less 

 oblique inward ; postmedian white, finely dark-edged proximally, anteriorly about 

 2 mm. from termen, from R 1 becoming oblique, wavy and with very slight 

 inward curves between the radials and between R 3 and SM 2 , reaching hind margin 

 at about § ; terminal line fine, becoming thicker and blacker in front of SC 3 ; 

 fringe slightly reddened, with indications of a pale line at base and pale tips, 

 sometimes dark-spotted opposite the veins. Hind wing with termen somewhat 

 crenulate in the more so in the $ ; concolorous with fore wing, extreme base 

 pale, in strongly marked specimens bounded by a continuation of the ante- 

 median line ; cell-dot enlarged, but ill-defined ; postmedian line straightish, 

 little beyond middle, continuing that of fore wing ; traces of a wavy subterminaL
