the publication of Mr. Wood-Mason’s and my description. Hecompares the species with 
A. canulia, Hewitson, from the Philippines, a description of which I give below also.* It is 
much nearer to 4. fwl/a than to A. canulia. 
The figure shows both sides of a male specimen from the Andaman Isles in my collection.
