XL Volume: Noctuiform Phalaense I Introduction. Vol. 3 of the present work comprises the Agaristidae and Noctuidae of the Palearctic countries, and we deal accordingly in vol. 11 with the same two families as far as they occur in the Indo- Australian Region. In the general characterisation of the Agaristidae (p. 1) it is stated that the two families are so very closely allied that the Agaristidae might be placed among the Noctuids as a subfamily. As this has only lately been recognised by an exact study of the anatomical details, while formerly the classification of the Lepidoptera was almost exclusively based on facies and external characteristics, the Agaristids being placed in the older schemes of classification far away from the Noctuids near the Arctiids, which at that time stood widely separ¬ ated from the Noctuids. However, since a closer phylogenetic connection between the Arctiids and Noctuids has been established, the former position of the Agaristids is shown not to have been so very erroneous after all. The family is best placed in the phylogenetic tree at a point near which the Noctuid and Arctiid branches originate. On the other hand, the habits — which, however, must be considered as purely secondary adaptations — are very different in the groups dealt with in this volume. However diverse the habits of the various sub¬ families of Noctuidae are, no Noctuids have those habits which are found throughout the Agaristidae. The Agaristids of the Indo-Australian and African countries — the American forms stand perhaps mostly somewhat away from them — are far more pronouncedly heliophile than any Noctuid. There are plenty of Noctuids which fly in the sunshine, e. g. Heliothis, Heliaca, certain Plusiids, etc. ; but these occur in the North or at high and temperate altitudes. But no Noctuid can stand the blazing sun of the tropics, which burns down on the damp hot lowlands of India, and heats the rocky precipices of Australia and Africa to such an extent that the heat of the stony ground is felt through the soles of the boots. If the day-flying Noctuids of the tro¬ pics are flushed, such as Tarache, Eustrotia , Lithacodia, Eublemma , Spirama, Miniodes, Palindia, etc., they flit away fast and adroitly over the sun-baked steppe or clearing, but all seek again the shade of a leaf or stalk among the herbage. Quite different is the behaviour of the Agaristids. They are most lively at noon when the sun is hottest. Then they roam through valleys and over hill-sides with a characteristic, alternately whirring and soaring flight; and when from 1 — 3 p.m. the burning rays of the sun are too hot even for the butterflies, the Aga¬ ristids are seen circling around the tree-tops in the most rapid flight, almost too fast for the observer and collector. The flight of the Agaristidae commences early on warm days. They first drink large quantities of water at moist places in the roads, congregating at dewy spots and road-puddles in the company of species of other families, e. g. Papilios, Pierids, Nymphalids, Geometers, etc. This is the time for collecting them. Towards 10 o’clock hunger and thirst have become craving; the dampness on the roads has disappeared, and the flowers begin to attract the Agaristids. Flowering trees especially are visited in numbers by the commoner species, but also the blossoms of herbage spreading low on the ground are not neglected. The large bright-coloured Agaristids are at this time exceedingly wary as a rule. They stay and suck at a flower only for a moment, and on the most careful approach the moth, with a jerk of the wings, soars high into the air and whirs away with astonishing rapidity, being soon lost to sight. They are then more difficult to catch than an Apatura or a Charaxes, which explains why species so common in cultivated districts as to be injurious are quoted by dealers at prices usually only obtained for species which are very rare or occur in countries difficult of access. The attitude assum¬ ed when sucking at a flower already reveals the wariness of the moth, the wings being held upright or half closed as in the case of butterflies and are frequently in a trembling motion. A hasty movement by the collector, a bird passing by, or a gust of wind moving the grass, are sufficient to drive the specimen off, which, with a flick of the wings, shoots into the air, hurrying away over the plains with an alternately soaring and whir- ing flight, and now visiting this flower and now probing that, always making a careful selection before settl¬ ing at any flower. The common Australian Phalaenoides are seen nearly all the year round in the gardens and even in the main streets of the large towns, flying swiftly above the hurrying people, but very rarely, and only under special circumstances, did I observe one of them resting. It is remarkable how easily obstacles are taken in the flight. The specimens of Phalaenoides only exceptionally follow the direction of the street or road, but, without apparent effort, float upward at houses and trees, and in gardens on the roofs or on the tops of hills often are seen disappearing in the blue of the sky. In contrast to this family with its fairly uniform habits we have the vast mass of Noctuidae with its numerous groups presenting an almost endless variety in all stages. The diversity in the habits of the moths 2 EUSEMIA. By Dr. K. Jordan. connexa. Ill the dry specimens of collections a bundle of radiating hair is frequently observed to project from segment 4, and this has been the reason for the erroneous statement that some genera have two scent- tufts on each side. The tuft of segment 4, however, is nothing but the apex of the tuft of segment 1. The organs of stridulation found in the °f some species — such species occur in America, Africa and Indo-Australia — are structures similar to those observed in many Noctuids. They consist of transversely ribbed vitreous areas on the fore- and hindwings, and, as is evidenced by the structure of the hind tarsus of P. tetrapleura (cf. p. 21), the loud chirping of these stridulating species is produced by a leg being pressed during flight against the ribbed area. The sexes are in most cases very similar in markings and colour. But there are some species which are so strongly dimorphic sexually that the d'd' and $$ have been described as different species (cf. e. g. Immetalia , Scrobigera , Damias). Polymorphism independant of sex also occurs, particularly frequent being species in which the specimens have either yellow to orange-red bands or white ones; many species are also very markedly variable geographically. The caterpillar is only known of a few species. It is usually gaily coloured, being transversely banded and bearing bright spots above the legs. The head and a large spot on segment 11 as well as the pronotum are as a rule yellow or red, and this appears mostly to hold good if the body is other¬ wise of a sombre colour. Each segment has a number of black polished dots each of which bears a long pale hair, the larva being otherwise naked. These hairs have sometimes a lanceolate apex. Seg¬ ment 1 1 is somewhat elevate and posteriorly strongly declivous. Pupation takes place in the ground close to the surface. The pupa is more or less truncate at the apex. The Agaristids fly nearly all by day. Many of them visit flowering trees, while other species whiz about near the ground. Some do not appear before sunset, aud several, especially American species, come to the lamp. The Agaristids are on the whole without particular economic importance; but in Australia the vine, an introduced plant, is more in favour with several Agaristids than the indigenous food-plants, the caterpillar of P. glycinae appearing sometimes in such numbers as to do considerable damage. 1.

But it is at once recognised by the yellow hair of the coxae; moreover, the metanotum bears yellowish grey hair at the sides and the mesonotum a yellowish grey spot on each side. Forewing above similar to that of E. vetula, but there are two yellowish white transverse stripes between base and first pair of spots, the stripes having a bluish tint on account of the dark ground, the sub- marginal spots, moreover, especially the last one, are more strongly developed. On the underside the fore wing bears at and near the base a yellowish streak in front of and a spot in the cell; the submarginal spots have the same colour as the macular bands. The hindwing is less extended black above and beneath than in E. vetula , the abbreviated black band and the marginal border usually being narrower than in vetula. The genitalia do not appear to differ. — Java, known to me from the East and West of the island; rarer than vetula. E. vetula. Underside of thorax black, the hair of the coxae not being yellow.

Westwood himself figured in 1848 as maculatrix the red form of nipa¬ lensis, and all subsequent authors apply the name either likewise to one of the nipalensis-iorms or to distincta or even vetula irenea. In Hampson, Lep. Phal. vol. 3, p. 524. no. 6, irenea and distincta are given as synonyms of maculatrix, which is erroneous, and the specimens described and mentioned are partly distincta, partly beatrix Jord. (1906) and maculatrix. The relationship of maculatrix is with distincta and beatrix ; the species differs like these from all the other species of Eusemia in the absence of the ventral lobes of the abdominal sternite 8 in the <$. Pronotum without spots, the spots on the patagia, however, very large. Legs black, with the exception of the coxae, which are yellow.

The two forms are not separated, geographi¬ cally. Assam, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Penang, Sumatra, Batoe Islands, West and East Java. — hes- perioides Walk, is the Bornean subspecies. The short discal band is absent from the upperside of the forewing or is at most indicated, by a few pale scales, being frequently wanting also beneath; the median band is straight and. the median area of the hindwing orange-red. The markings vary rather strongly. In f. hesperioides Walk. ( = tricolor Butt.) (2 c) the band of the hindwing is more or less strongly reduced, being sometimes only a few mm wide and, usually deeper red than in the broad-banded f. pulchra Butt. (= stauclingeri Oberth.) (2 c). The fringes frequently entirely white in both sexes of f. hesperioides, the white colour sometimes obviously extending on. to the wing as in 8. albomarginata. Some $$ of f. pulchra have likewise entirely white fringes. The median band of the forewing is occas¬ ionally very narrow in f. hesperioides and interrupted at the veins. The two forms occur together, but f. pulchra predominates in North Borneo and f. hesperioides in the Dutch portion of the island, Dr. Martin obtained hesperioides at Sintang in all the months from December to April, but only a small number of specimens.

Nord-West and North India, Burma, Yunnan, Tonkin; occurs throughout the summer and is not rare in Assam. — orientalis Bull. The 4 discal orientalis. spots of the forewing are close together, the blue band of the hindwing very narrow. Nord-West India: Moos- soorie and Garwhal. — victrix Westiv. (1 d). The discal spots are absent or are separated into two groups; band victrix. of hindwing broad.

In f. silhetensis But}., silhetensis. which is also devoid of discal spots, the band is not interrupted, but often constricted at the median vein. The specimens with discal spots on the forewing frecpiently have on the underside of the hindwing some ill-defined orange discal patches and, in front of the middle of the cell, a white spot, which is occasionally also present in f. victrix and silhetensis. These markings are obviously remnants: f. limma form. nov.

Segments 1 and 2 of palpi with smooth scaling and hair, 3 smooth and in the $ long and cylindrical. Antennae distinctly incrassate. Eyes naked. Abdomen of and legs similar to those of Scrobigera. Forewing with areole, sub¬ costal branch 5 from the apex of the areole, 2 far beyond 5, radial 1 from the cell, radial 3 and median 1 from the lower angle of cell, median 2 much nearer to the apex of the cell than in Scrobigera , medians 1 and 2 nearer together at the cell than at the distal margin, cross-vein deeply incurved, angles of cell acute in both wings ; in the hindwing radial 2 from the centre of the cell, radial 3 and median 1 from the lower angle of the cell, medians 1 and 2 nearer together proximally than distally. — Early stages not known. — A Papuan genus which is distributed from Celebes to the Bismarck Archipelago. The abdomen is not banded beneath in any of the species, being here either entirely black or orange-red at the tip. The wings are only uniformly glossy blue in one species, in all the other species the forewing bears a discal band and the hindwing is either black or bears also a band. The colour of these markings is either white or yellow or orange-red, and it is very interesting to observe that the colours appear in the following order: 1. forewing and hindwing with a white band, 2. forewing with a white, hindwing with an orange band, 3. fore- and hindwing with an orange band. A form in which the forewing has an orange band and the hindwing a white one does not occur. The sexes are either alike in colouring or the $ has white markings and the $ orange ones, or the $ is polymorphic. The variation of I . saturate i is highly interesting, as the geographical forms are very different as regards the variability in colouring, as is explained below. ° I. bernsteini. Markings of head and palpi, apex of abdomen (with the exception of the extreme tip in tire <§) and a band on both wings deep orange; the band of the forewing, which is sometimes yellow, touches bernsteini. the apex of the cell and sometimes is reduced to a spot. Moluccas. - bernsteini Voll. (= josioides Walk., xan- thomelas Bdv.). Segment 2 of palpi more or less extended black beneath; the band on the upperside of the hinclwing broader at the median vein than the black basal area.

In angustiplaga as well as bernsteini the black marginal band obiana. of the hindwing remains broad at the anal angle or tapers. — obiana subsp. nov. $: The band of the forewing paler yellow above and beneath than in the previous forms, of almost even breadth from the costa to the lower median branch (about 5 mm) and then moderately narrowed; it does not touch the cell, and the black marginal area is much narrower than in the previous forms (width at lower median 2 mm) on account of the greater width and more distal position of the band. Band of hindwing narrow, separate from the cell and extend¬ ing from the costal vein to the anal angle, being in the middle a little more than half the width of the black basal area and almost twice the width of the black distal border; fringes yellow at the apex of both wings; seg- buruuna. ment 2 of palpi with a few black scales beneath. Obi. — buruana subsp. nov. $: Segment 2 of palpi with a black stripe beneath. The bands touch the cells and are a little paler than in angustiplaga , particularly beneath; band of forewing broader than in angustiplaga, but distinctly narrowed in front of the lower submedian vein; the black marginal area broader than in obiana and narrower than in angustiplaga (measuring 3.5 mm at the lower median). Band of hindwing similar to that of angustiplaga, pointed behind, almost reaching the ab¬ dominal margin, the black distal border anteriorly narrower than in angustiplaga (6 mm at the subcostal), posteriorly but little narrowed (4 mm at the submedian fold), broader than in obiana. Goenong Mada, Buru, collected in September. I. saturata. Markings of head and palpi white, apex of abdomen orange. The fringes at the apex of both wings white or black, not yellow. In the <$ the abdominal margin of the hindwing bent downward, then recurved, the lower submedian vein bearing long and very conspicuous radiating hairs. Distributed from the Southern Moluccas to the Bismarck Archipelago. This species is probably the most interesting example of geographical and individual variation in colour. The most surprising in the development of the species in the various districts is the fact that the species, according to the country, is either monomorphic, or sexually dimorphic, or monomorphic in the and trimorphic in the $, or decidedly trimorphic in both sexes or even tetramorphic in the $. In the three subspecies from the Southern Moluccas the band of the hindwing is absent, saturata. but this is also sometimes the case in diversa from New Guinea which normally lias such a band. — saturata Walk.

Antennae slightly incrassate between centre and apex, usually spotted with white. Segments l and 2 of palpi with long hair beneath, 3 long and porrect. Femora with rough hair on the underside, tibiae and tarsi smooth, tarsal segments 1 — 4 with 3 rows of spines. Forewing with areole, subcostal 2 far beyond it and 5 from its apex; radial 2 and 3 close together, median 1 on the contrary well before the lower angle of cell ; cross-vein incurved in both wings. In the hindwing the subcostal and radial 1 stalked or from a point, radial 2 from the centre of cell or just above it, radial 3 from the lower angle of cell, median 1 before angle. Abdomen with light bands, with smooth scaling and hair, segment 1 and in the $ also 7 more or less rough-hairy. The markings are almost the same in all the species and often strongly reduced in the $. The fringes of both wings are usually white-spotted between the veins and entirely white at the apex. The forewing has two cell-spots, of which the proximal one is often absent, and anteriorly on the disc two bipartite spots and poste¬ riorly a bi- or tripartite one. Hindwing with median band, which is more or less distinctly separated into spots by the veins and whose anterior portion projects distad; in the $$ this band is sometimes absent. The costal edge of the forewing is yellow in the The genitalia are almost exactly the same in the various species. — Early stages only known of one species, altough the species are usually abundant. - — Australia, New Guinea and Timor. a) Coxae with grey or yellow hair. C. synopla. This species and C. donowani have been mixed up by most authors (with the exception of A. J. Turner). Boisduval’s description of donowani is so insufficient that it remains doubtful which of the 14 CRUR1A. By Dr. K. Jordan. two species is donowani. Turner believes that the name should be applied to the next species. Forewing above in the basal area below the cell with a thin yellowish line which is continued across the thorax. Coxae yellow. Abdomen ringed with white, in the $ segment 7 not yellow and the claspers broadly black in the centre, in the $ segment 7 with a broad yellow belt. The spots of the forewing, especially the double spot near the lower angle of the cell, more or less strongly dusted with black. Band of hindwing less divided •s ynopla. up than in the other species. New South Wales to Northern Queensland. Larva on Calocasia. — - synopla Turn. Markings of forewing yellowish ; band of hindwing about half as broad in the centre as the black mar- latifascia. gin. New South Wales and Southern Queensland (Brisbane district). — - latif ascia subsp. nov. Markings of the wings purer white than in true synopla , especially the band of the hindwing, which, moreover, is about as broad as the black marginal band. North Queensland; type of name from Atherton, found in April or May. C. donowani ( = donovani auct.). Upperside of forewing without longitudinal stripe in the basal area beneath the cell, and mesothorax without transverse band in the centre. Coxae yellow, the posterior ones paler. In the d' segment 7 of abdomen and the claspers yellow, the latter with a narrow black edge. Markings of wings pale sulphur-yellow, those of the forewing more sharply marked than in synopla. On the forewing a streak of variable length in the basal area between costal edge and cell, in the cell before the centre a small spot, at the apex of the cell and on the disc the usual spots, the discal spot near the lower angle of the cell bipartite, its upper portion being small and the lower long, mostly an additional third spot below this patch; before the apex 2 — 3 bluish grey dots as in the other species. Band of hindwing about half the width of the black margin, the veins more or less black in the band, the latter therefore more irregular at its edges than in synopla, Moreover, the hinder half of the band is more proximal than in synopla. On the underside the hindwing less obviously striped in and below the cell than in synopla. Queensland, North-West Australia and Timor. Larva on Vitis antarctica ; brown, each segment with a white belt in which there are a number of black dots each bearing a donowani. long hair. — donowani Bdv. (2 f). Abdominal segments 1 — -6 banded with yellowish white; posterior coxae of $ yellowish grey; band of hindwing beneath usually extending to the base of the lower median vein. Queens- xanthosoma. land, name-type from Mackay. Occurs in the same district as synopla, at least near Brisbane. — xanthosoma subsp. nov. The belts of the abdomen orange-yellow, with the exception of belts 1 and 2; abdomen beneath (also in $) only blackish at the base of the proximal segments. Distinguished from the similar neptioides by the whitish colour of the proximal belts of the abdomen, the yellowish tint of the markings of the wings, the yellow hair of the mid and hind coxae and the absence of a basal longitudinal smear on the upperside of the forewing below the cell. North Province of South Australia, west of the gulf of Carpentaria, 3 <$<3 and timorica. 1 $ in Mus. Tring, collected between November and February. - timorica subsp. nov. Band of hindwing narrower than in the two previous subspecies and more distinctly interrupted at radial 1, especially in the $. Abdomen above banded with yellowish white, as in donowani in the segment 6 beneath almost as orange as 7, in the $ the entire underside of the abdomen banded with black and orange. Dili, Portuguese Timor, one pair found by Doherty in May. b) Mid and hind coxae entirely b 1 a c k. Abdo m e n always with orange belts. Markings of wings m u c h smaller in the $ t h a n in the C. neptioides. Markings of Avings Avhite; band of hindwing very strongly constricted at the loA\rer angle of cell or interrupted, separated into spots by the black veins, much narrower in the $ than in the being sometimes only represented by some small spots or even entirely suppressed. The extreme abdominal edge of the hindwing, in contradistinction to donowani and synopla, remains black even if the band approaches neptioides. the edge very closely, at most some of the long hairs are grey. Queensland and British New Guinea. — neptioides Bull. (2 f). In the £ the band of the hindwing beneath is nearly as broad between the upper and loAver angles of the cell as the black marginal border (excl. of fringes), the cell of the hindwing bearing a withe spot. In the $ the band of the hindwing is separated into spots, but at the most the first spot and the last one are suppressed. Queensland, especially in the most northern district and on the islands off the papuana. coast. — papuana subsp. nov. $ : Hindwing without white cell-spot above and beneath, the median band rather narrower than in the race from Queensland. The $ very dark, the spots very strongly reduced on both wings; the median band of the hindwing only represented by a few small spots or entirely obsolete. Brit¬ ish New Guinea; Meek collected a small series on the Aroa R. between November and March; occurs also at Port Moresby. C. darwiniensis. Markings of both wings yellow or yellowish, with the exception of the white marginal spots, and on the whole rather larger than in neptioides. In contradistinction to synopla. and donowani there is always a spot below the lower median vein of the forewing in neptioides and darwiniensis, even if the upper platyxantha. spot, (in front of median 1) of this double patch is absent. North Australia. — platyxantha Meyr. (= tropica Low.) (2 f). Markings of wings yellow. The black discocellular spot of the hindwing is nearly always pro¬ minent also above in the ale patch. Hindwing yellow, with a broad black marginal band which narrows posteriorly, fringes white below the apex . On the underside the base of the forewing yellow and one or two discal spots white. - — pratti Baker (4d). Forewing with pale brown discal patch on the upperside and without distinct white cell-spot on the underside ; marginal band of hind¬ wing evenly narrowing behind.
