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.
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.
