NOCTUA CHERA. Alis griseo-badiis, anticis fasciâ irregulari longitudinali
(cum marginibus externis et posticis) parallelâ fusca. (Expans. Alar. 2
unc. 5 lin.)
SYN. Phalæna (Noctua) Chera, _Drury_, _App. vol._ 2.
HABITAT: Surinam.
_Upper Side._ Antennæ setaceous. Head, thorax, and abdomen greyish
russet. Wings coloured nearly as the preceding insect. The anterior
having a dark brown irregular line running near the posterior and
external edges to the anterior near the tips. Posterior wings immaculate.
{39}_Under Side._ All the parts on this side are of the same colour as
the upper, without any marks whatever on them. Margins of the wings
entire.
I have placed this insect in the family Noctuidæ with doubt, as it seems to
have some resemblance with Galleria Mellonella.
