lateral tufts. Posterior tibiae with all spurs present. Hindwings 

 without basal costal expansion; frenulum and retinaculum in ^ 

 well developed; frenulum in 9 represented by a tuft of long hairs. 

 Forewings with 3 and 4 separate but approximated at origin, 6 

 separate, 11 free or anastomosing with 12 and 10. Hindwings 

 with 3 and 4 separate, 6 and 7 sepnrate, 8 approximated to cell 

 for some distance, diverging before middle. 



Type, A. turneri. Differs from Tevpna in the ^ antennae. Pro- 

 bably the palpi and other points vary as in that genus; and I 

 have, therefore, refrained from drawing up the definition too 

 rigidly on the single Australian species.
