41. Genus: Aiiisoiaeura Gn. 
The 2nd segment of palpi very long and thick, the 3rd slightly less. Forewings with numerous oblique 
crenulate lines, that are continued on hindwings. Hindwing of <$ with androconia spots on vein 2—4. Type: 
salebrosa Gn. from India. According to Tams, it was erroneous of Hampson to state that the middle tibiae have 
spurs, so that the Genus should now be classified with the Noctuinae. Also the other tibiae have no spin's. 
1. Forewings with very oblique outer margins. On hindwings of d 1 vein 
6 + 7 stalked, shorter in $. 
A. hypocyanea Gn. As one $ was captured in Western China, this spiecies, that is common in India, the 
Sunda Islands, the Philippines and New Guinea, was already dealt with in Vol. 3, p. 336, pi. 62 a. — buruensis 
E. Prout. The d is rather more reddish, the dusting is not so dark, markings therefore contrast more vividly, 
a line from apex to centre of inner margin is especially prominent. In the $ the pale patches on costa, with 
whitish along the oblique lines, the more blackish dark markings, the crenulate, very distinct submarginal fine, 
all produce a more contrasting effect. A few specimens have been captured on Buru Island. 
A. zeuzeroides Gn. (= spliingoides Fid.) (55 d). In colouration and size similar to hypocyanea. but outer 
margin of forewings in d and $ less oblique. Markings more distinct. The inner line impressed below the costa, 
widely excurved on median nervure. Outer and submarginal lines distinct, black with brown outer edges. On 
hindwings the outer line in d is rather less distinct than in hypocyanea. The $ lias no, or very slight pale patches 
on costa of forewings; outer and submarginal lines are also very distinct. On hindwings before the pale crenulate 
median line, there are 3 distinct dark undulate lines, which are much less distinct in hypocyanea. — papuana 
Pimps, is a $ from New Guinea, in which an oblique rusty brown streak proceeds from apex to vein 3 down¬ 
wards to the postmedian line. 105—115 mm. Halmaheira, Batjan, Amboina, New Guinea. 
A. depressa Hulst. Similar to zeuzeroides. Forewings dark grey-brown with lilac sheen, wider than in 
zeuzeroides and varying by black patches and yellow scales behind and below the cell. Antemedian line as in 
zeuzeroides , reniform stigma as in hypocyanea with a yellow spot outwardly at lower end and distally thereof 
2 oval yellow spots above and below vein 4. A black stripe below the cell. Median line as in zeuzeroides. Post¬ 
median line indistinct below vein 4. Submarginal line brown, with oblique dentation at vein 2, diffusely edged 
by black inwardly at inner margin. Hindwings grey-brown with interrupted lines. The crenulate dark median 
line distinct, 2 fainter lines proximally. Postmedian line double. 110 mm. One J from the Key Islands. 
2. The outer margin of forewings less oblique. On hindwings of A vein 
6 arises somewhat removed from 7 , in $ both arise from angle of cell. 
A. salebrosa Gn. ( — obscurata Pagst.) (55 d). Forewings very dark brown, the lines very oblique. Ante- 
median line double below the cell, black, interfilled with rusty brown. Postmedian line yellowish, dentate, 
outwards to vein 7, then incurved. A double submarginal line extends from apex. The space anteriorly in $ 
somewhat paler brown to vein 4; in $ between vein 5 and 3, a pale brown reniform stigma with whitish edge. 
Hindwings with pale dentate median line, that in the $ has more distinct white tips to the angulations and in 
front there are 2- 3 dark lines. The outer and submarginal lines are distinct and black. 55—60 mm. India, 
Tonkin, the Philippines and Sunda Islands. 
A. inermis Tams differs from salebrosa by the fainter marking, otherwise it is quite similar. The delicate 
black marginal line is continuous, whilst in salebrosa it is divided into oblique streaks. The pale spot above 
vein 3 is scarcely discernible; submarginal line of hindwings is more undulate. In <$ the space between the 
inner and outer lines is dusted with whitish blue, similarly the hindwings near anal angle. In the $ postmedian 
line on hindwings is more undulate having jiale spots at the tips of the undulations. Submarginal line indistinct. 
52-- 58 mm. Siam. 
42. Genus: Ceroeala Bsd. 
Palpi long, oblique, the 3rd segment long, flattened out at end. All tibiae with bold spurs, differing 
thereby completely from Anisoneura, the short foretibiae with claws at ends. By far the most species are african, 
a few south palaearctic and only one species is known from Cochin China. 
C. orientalis Joan. (55 e). Forewings bluish white and brown. Antemedian line black, straight, some¬ 
what oblique, diffuse brown anteriorly and with a row of silvery dots and bluish white proximally at base, 
whitish behind. Orbicular stigma as a black dot; reniform stigma brown with black outline and silvery dots. 
Postmedian line black, obliquely to vein 2 then upwards to lower angle of cell and obliquely incurved to inner 
margin. Distally diffuse brown with oblique silvery line from costa to vein 3. The whitish submarginal line is 
undulate, more boldly incurved behind the cell; proximally dark brown, distally paler. Hindwings dark brown 
with white median band, ending in a point at anal angle. One $ 40 mm. From Cochin China.
