Mus. Oxon. ii. p. 194^ I made it a. synonym. o( A. subsir/nans, 

 ^^ alker, but I wronf^ly identified that species ; tlie fore wiufj^s 

 are rounder, it is paler in colour, the transverse markings are 

 entirely absent, and there is a large round blackish spot at 

 the end of each cell. I have subs it/nans from Sumba, Perak, 

 Queensland, Andamans, Bombay, and the Nilgiris ; I have 

 surrigens from Gilolo, and it is in Mus. Oxon. from Sarawak, 

 I'lores, Sula, and Aru.
