Noctuidae Catocalinae — VlETTE

Fig. 4. Anna coronata Fabricius: a, tegumen, 
uncus, and anal tube; b, left valva; c, penis. 
men is very narrow and the uncus is curved 
and clothed dorsally with bristles; on the right 
side, between the uncus and the anal tube, 
and arising from the latter, there is a ver- 
tically raised plate that is undoubtedly an 
excrescence of the scaphium; at the base of 
the uncus, toward the left, there is a kind 
of process directed backwards; moreover, as 
in most of the species still to be discussed, the 
valvae ( Fig. 4 b ) carry, at their origin, a kind 
of long and narrow membranous bag abun- 
dantly clothed with bristles; there is a long 
costal arm, the sacculus is well developed and 
ends as a long, well-sclerotized and colored 
spur; the penis is at a right angle, speckled 
dorsally toward its apex (Fig. Ac). 
Genitalia 9 : Resemble the genitalia of 
Lagoptera miniacea Feld., showing a large 
seventh segment and two lateral, triangular 
plates at the middle line beneath the ostium 
bursae; however, it is distinguished from L. 
miniacea by a larger development of the 
eighth urite and by the ductus bursae which 
has first a sclerotized part, then a separate less 
sclerotized area, and finally an area in which 
there are some sclerotized longitudinal lines; 
the bursa copulatrix is membranous. 
Hampson (1913) cites the following ab- 
errations described as species by the old 
authors, because of the coloration of the ren- 
iform spot: 
magica Hiibner, Zutr. Exot. Schmett. 3: 
32, figs. 535 and 536, 1827. The reniform 
spot is entirely black. 
leonina Fabricius, Syst. Entom.: 596, 
1775. The reniform spot is entirely green- 
gray. 
ancilla Fabricius , Entom. Syst. 3(2): 17, 
1794. The reniform spot is absent. 
New Caledonia: Noumea (coll. Fleutiaux). 
New Flebrides: Pentecote Island (Mrs. 
Pruvot) . 
This species has a geographical distribu- 
tion that extends from India to the Society 
Islands. 
Genus Achaea Hiibner 
Achaea Hiibner, 1827, Verz. bekann. 
Schmett., p. 269; Hampson, 1913, Cat. 
Lepid. Phal. B. M. 12: 496; Gaede, 1938, 
in Seitz 11: 479 (type janata L.) . 
The proboscis is fully developed; the labial 
palpi are upturned, the second joint reaching 
almost to the vertex, the third joint being 
short or moderately long; in the species de- 
scribed here, the antennae are filiform. The 
thorax has no crest; the prothoracic tibiae 
do not possess any spines, but the meso- and 
metathoracic tibiae do have them. The first 
segments of the abdomen bear tufts of hairs 
dorsally. 
The genus contains numerous species oc- 
curring chiefly in the Ethiopian area, southern 
and southeastern Asia, and as far east as the
