Type, A. tJiaidina, Blanchard, from W. China. 



Range. Bhutan ; Assam ; Upper Burma ; W. China. 



(5 $ . Tore wing elongate ; costa nearly straight ; apex very 

 broadly rounded ; termen oblique ; tornus obtusely rounded : 

 dorsum straight; veins 1 to 12 present; cell longer than halt' 

 length of wing, veins 6 and 7 closely approximate at origin, both 

 from upper apex of cell, upper discocellular therefore absent ; 

 middle long, concave, lower inwardly oblique; vein 9 from well 

 beyond upper apex of cell, 10 and 1 1 free from apical half of sub- 

 costal. Hind wing: costa arched, upper portion of termen scal- 

 loped, in the Indian form the emarginations are deep and thus make 

 short broad tails or a broad acute tooth at apices of veins 5 and (5 ; 

 in both the typical and Indian forms there are long slender tails 

 at apices of veins 2, 3, and 4, the tail at apex of vein 4 very long, 

 that at apex of .vein 3 shorter and at apex of vein 4 shorter still ; 

 tornal angle lobed and rounded, dorsum straight ; cell moderately 

 long ; upper discocellular about half the length of the middle but 

 much longer than the lower discocellular ; precostal cell longer than 

 broad. Antennae short, about one-fourth the length of the fore 

 wing ; club long and gradual, but well-marked ; head not produced 

 in front ; palpi slender, porrect ; body moderately robust. 



Two forms are known, one of w r hich only has been so far 

 recorded from within our limits.

J $ . Upperside dull black. Fore wing with the following 

 ochraceous-n bite slender markings : basal, subbasal, medial, aud 

 preapical lines from costa across cell, the first three continued in a 

 series of more or less diffuse curves to the dorsal margin, the pre- 

 apical terminates on vein 3 ; beyond apex of cell a somewhat 

 broken transA r erse line from costa to vein 3 followed by a complete 

 discal transverse line, a short upper postdiscal somewhat ill-delined
