CALLIPOTNIA. By L. B. Prout. 
N. punctilinea Warr. Founded on a single, broad-winged $ from Sumba. Reddish grey, rather brighter puncUtinca. 
red on the lines, which are otherwise only indicated by very small black (on one side pale-edged) vein-dots; 
these are placed more as in Encryphia frontisignata than in the other Noreia species, but the postmedian is 
less strongly excurved in the middle; subterminal spots small and incomplete. 
N. dentilineata IF arr. resembles in shape and colouring the ajaia group, but has the postmedian line dentilineata. 
dentate and on the forewing, instead of running to the apex, this line is angulated about the 1st radial and 
retracted, nearly as in lapidata. Sulu Archipelago. 
N. perdensata Walk. (3 cl). This and the four following species are all very similar in colour and perdensata. 
markings and recpiire some care for their discrimination, perdensata and ajaia are, however, smaller than the 
others, on an average darker, with the fringes scarcely lighter than the ground-colour of the wings. All have 
in the $ a more or less prominently projecting tuft of hairs towards the middle of the abdominal margin of 
the hinclwing, but this only becomes a strong cone in albijimbria. The structure of perdensata-<$ is simpler than 
that of the allies, the hindtibia being little dilated, the hindwing beneath without hair-tuft. India and Ceylon; 
other records are doubtful. 
N. ajaia Walk. (3d). Perhaps more variable than perdensata , on an average lighter or more tinged ajaia. 
with brown, on Timor approaching some forms of the Papuan and Australian vinacea. E with moderate hind- 
tibial hair-pencil, hindwing beneath with appressed androconial hair about the 2nd median vein. N. India, 
Hainan, Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands to Timor. 
N. unilineata Walk. (= moestaria Walk.) (3 d) was named from the absence of the 1st line of the fore- uniliruata. 
wing, but this is inconstant. Best distinguished from perdensata by its larger size and the strong liindtibial 
hair-pencil of the from ajaia by the absence of the $ androconial patch on the hindwing beneath. Sumatra 
and Borneo. A lighter, more brownish $ from Celebes may represent a local race. 
N. albifimbria IF arr. (3 e). Distinguishable by the white or whitish fringes, especially in the $. Ante- albijimbria. 
median line faint, curved, but scarcely dentate outward on the veins. Cell-mark of forewing more elongate 
than in the three preceding. $ hindwing with an additional androconial tuft arising from the median vein 
proximal to the origin of the second median branch. Celebes and Sula Mangoli. 
N. papuensis Warr. (3e) replaces albifimbria eastward. Superficially similar, but the fringe, though papvensis. 
sometimes rather pale, is never whitish and the $ androconial tufts of the hindwing are different; that on the 
abdominal margin is quite slight, but those on the median vein and its 2nd branch are very strong, bright 
brown, and there is a further patch about the 1st median. Widely distributed and rather variable in colour. 
Moluccas to Solomons. 
N. vinacea Warr. (= loxosticha Turn.) (5 b) is perhaps an eastern ally of ajaia, which it resembles vinacea. 
in the $ structure. Forewing with apex more produced (minutely subfalcate), ground-colour variable but in 
general much more shaded with vinous or (especially in the Australian forms) with red-brown; antemedian 
line of forewing very slender and weak, not angulated on the veins, postmedian generally continued into the 
apex, or to the distal margin close to the apex. Jobi and Dutch New Guinea, apparently very rare; Cedar 
Bay, N. Queensland, common. 
N. achloraria Warr. (3e). Very distinct in shape and markings from all the other species; tufts on achloraria. 
the £ hindwing nearest to those of albifimbria. Sumatra, Singapore, Borneo and Celebes. 
51. Genus: CJallipotiiia Warr. 
Scarcely more than a subgenus of Noreia, distinguished by having in the d a small fovea near the base 
of the forewing, generally concealed on the upperside by hairs. Only known from New Guinea. 
C. multicolor Warr. (5 a). Lighter brown than the other species, the postmedian line of the hindwing multicolor. 
less developed — chiefly shown by dots on the veins — less acutely angulated. Hindwing of <$ beneath with 
much reddish hair at the base, a long dark tuft on the median vein, shorter brownish hair on base of 1st 
median branch and on 2nd sub median. Dutch and British New Giunea. 
C. allognota Prout (5 a). The darkest species. Hindwing of E beneath with less strong reddish hair, allognola. 
no long dark tuft on median vein, the short brownish hair stronger, encroaching into the cell. Biagi. Mam- 
bare River, British New Guinea.
