Subgroup III. PSEUDOTAENIATUS 



Dei'.nition. — Oriental. Scutellum with at least some narrow scales 

 (female of hatorii undescribed). Postspiracular area scaled. Mid- 

 tibiae with an anterior narrow longitudinal pale line for nearly their 

 whole length, may be interrupted or partially incomplete. 



Supplementary characters. — Male palpi with long hairs arising 

 apically on III and all along IV, some usually on V also. Prealn 

 scaled iDelow knob. Head hairs 4. 5. and 6 of the larva placed in an 

 anterior transverse line, 7 posterior to this line. Comb scales numer- 

 ous, in a patch. Larval habitat : Rock pools in stream beds, occasion- 

 ally also in tree holes, bamboos, and artificial containers. The larvae 

 of hanksi, hatorii, and hegnei-i are undescribed. 



Included species. — A. hanhsi Edwards, elsiae (Barraud), hatorii 

 Yamada, hegneri Causey, macdougalli Edwards, macfarJanei {Ya\- 

 wRYds) , pseu^otaeniatvs (Giles) , nnd shortti (Barraud). 



Discussion. — This is undoubtedly a superspecies. Most of the spe- 

 cies of this group are rather completely treated by Barraud (1934) . 



Group F (ALBOANNULATUS-eroup: DANIELSIA) 



Australasian, Oriental, Neotropical, Nearctic, and Palaearctic 

 species. Wings not spotted with areas of pale scaling. However, mon- 

 ocellatus and hioceUatus have one and two large anterior areas of pale 

 scales respectively. Scutal markings various, but not consisting 

 largelj^ of a pattern of longitudinal pale lines {alhotmniatus var, 

 mihiranus has three indistinct pale lines, but also possesses a white 

 patch before the wing base). Femora and tibiae not spotted and 

 ringed, nor lined anteriorly with pale scales for nearly their whole 

 length. Hind tarsi with basal bands usually on at least first three seg- 

 ments, more rarely only on first one or two ; if only on first two then 

 the band on I is not smaller than that on II ; sometimes one or more 

 segments with apical pale scales. The Siberian species alektorovi ap- 

 parently belongs here but in the absence of specimens cannot be placed 

 to subgroup. 



Care must be taken in separating some individuals of a few species 

 of Group D, which key here when their linear pattern is obscure or 

 obsolete. 



This group includes a number of more or less unrelated subgroups. 



KEY TO THE SUBGROUPS OF GROUP F (ALBOANNULATUS-GROUP) 



1. Vertex with dorsum broad scaled (may be narrow scales along ocular margin 



and on nape, however) 2 



Vertex with at least longitudinal median line of dorsum narrow scaled 3 



2. Scutum dark scaled; 'ppn bare StrBGROUP V, subsimilis (p. 536) 



Scutum with pale markings ;ppn scaled. Subgroup I, albotaeniatus ' (p. 533) 



Subgroup III, simlensis ^ (p. 535) 



* Apparently separable in the adult on the character of male genitalia only, Subgroup I having a prominent 

 tuft of elongate scales on the inner surface of the basistyle and Subgroup ni lacking such a group of scales.
