described originally from Sind in N. W. India, and which also seems to occur in Afghanistan and the Trans- 

 spilola. Caspian region, the pale ground colour is predominant; in spilota Ersch. (70 d) also occurring in Transcaspia, 

 the fuscous suffusion is stronger and the white ground colour is more or less wholly obscured; this darker form 

 also occurs in the Algerian Sahara. 



cashmiren- A. cashmirensis Hmps. Forewing brown, thickly suffused with grey; a median white band, 



s ' s ' limited inwardly by the dark brown inner line, and outwardly by the outer line, which is strongly excurved 



beyond cell and as strongly incurved to its lower angle; subterminal line pale, indistinct, nearly straight; 



a dark line on discocellular; hindwing brown; the interspaces in basal area whitish; a white spot on termen 



at vein 2; fringe white. Kashmir. 



chinensis. A. chinensis Alph. Resembles Anydrophila picta Christ., but larger, and differing in the longer cilia-

 white and runs close to termen, indented on both folds, preceded by a blackish shade ; terminal area chocolate 

 brown; a black terminal line edged with white; hindwing whitish, washed with pale brown; veins brownish; 

 an irregular brownish grey subterminal cloud, containing a dark blotch at termen below middle arid a slighter

 district the ground colour is pale ochreous grey, with all the markings pale brown and obscure. 



henkei. A. henkei Stgr. (70 e). Forewing white speckled with black, more or less flushed with pale reddish 



brown; veins marked with black and white scales; the inner, median, and outer lines blackish, waved, the

 spot from 2 to 4; a fine black crenulate terminal line; fringe whitish, the tips darker. The largest species of 

 the genus. Described from^a single $ from North of El Golea, Central Algerian Sahara. 



cestis. A. cestis Men. (70 e). Forewing pale or dark grey, washed with brownish, and with dark fuscous 



suffusion, confined in the $ to a wedge shaped area below middle, extending from vein 2 to 5, the costal 

 half and the inner margin remaining paler; in the $ the whole wing is suffused with blackish fuscous, except 

 the terminal area ; inner line black, angled on subcostal and median veins and on submedian fold ; the renif orm

 blackish subterminal cloud, swollen in middle into a black blotch, very large in $ and touching termen; — 

 uniform™, in the ab. uniformis ab. nov. (70 f) the whole forewing is uniform reddish brown without blackish suffusion; 

 punctata, in ab. punctata Men. (70 f) the forewing is greyish ochreous with very little suffusion, and all the markings dis- 

 tinct, the subterminal band of hindwing and the black spot below middle both reduced and inconspicuous. 

 Occurs in the desert regions of S. E. Russia, Transcaspia, Ferghana, Hi, and Issyk-Kul; also ha Algeria; the 

 ab. uniformis is equally distributed, but punctata appears restricted to the eastern localities.
