dotted with fuliginous brown, as also is that between central 

 and marginal bands at middle and towards costa and inner 

 margin ; costa and nervures marked with ochreous. Second- 

 aries whitish spotted with fuscous grey, the larger of the 

 spots representing central, submarginal, and marginal bands. 

 Under surface similar to above, but the markings, which are 

 pale fuscous on primaries, are fainter, and on secondaries 

 rather stronger.

Fraterna , Butl., is a pale form of A. melanaria, and is 

 almost exactly identical with some European examples of the 

 species in my collection. Sordida, Butl., is a dark form also 

 agreeing with some European specimens, and askoldinaria is 

 a form intermediate between the two. Alpheraky mentions 

 a variety of the species from Pei-choiri (Rom. sur Lep. vi. 

 p. 55). '
