Elymniinae 

 1 species, very variable. 



71. Elymnias agondas (Boisd.) 



Bijctis ayondas Boisduval, Vo//. .-Istrvl., Lip., p. 1-58, t. 3, fig. 5 (1832) (Is. Vanikoro). 



Tliis insect is extremely variable and the $ is polymorphic, the extreme pale form 

 mimicking Tenaris hiocidotus. Mr. AVollaston's collection contains 8 <SS, one of which 

 from Utakwa River agrees exactly with the picture of muscosa Fruhst. while the rest 

 range from typical agondas through melagondas Fruhst. to goramensis Fruhst. I thiidc, 

 therefore, that at present at least we must treat the bulk of the named forms as 

 aberrations with the exception of agondas australiana Fruhst.

AMATHUSIIDAE 



The A'maihusiidae contain two subfamilies : the Amathusiinae, which are exclusively 

 Old World insects, and the Brassolinae of the New World. They have both true 

 Satyrine larvae with bifurcated anal segment, which at once distinguishes them from 

 the Morfliidae with which they were formerly united. The larvae of the latter have 

 non-bifurcated anal segments, and are hairy like the lar^'ae of (certain Bombyces. The 

 collection contains 10 species.
