than diameter of shaft. Vertex white. Collar light ochreous. Foreleg 
fuscous in front. Thorax, abdomen, and legs otherwise white, with a 
few scattered blackish specks, which accumulate on mid-dorsum into a 
row of ill-defined spots (large dots). Hindtibia of $ moderately long and 
thick, tarsus scarcely more than one-half the length of tibia. Wings 
coloured as the least yellow $$ of A. immutata L., the black dusting about 
as in that species, the shape of hindwing more as in corrivalaria Kretschm., 
there being a weak bend at R 3 . Forewing with first line from beyond 
one-third, oblique outwards, strongly bent in cell, then oblique inwards ; 
median line slightly thicker, from hind margin opposite discal spot of hind- 
wing, oblique to R 1 , then slightly curved, becoming indistinct ; post- 
median slender, accentuated by black dots on veins, that on R 2 slightly 
displaced proximally, that on R 1 distally, a slight proximal curve towards 
costa ; between the black dots the line is very faintly lunulate inwards ; 
subterminal indicated by two rather straight lines which edge it ; discal 
dot small, black, midway between first and median lines ; termen with 
conspicuous black dots. Hindwing without antemedian line, the median 
very slightly curved just proximally to the cell-dot, which is here large ; 
postmedian running rather straight across the wing ; subterminal nearly 
parallel with termen, curving a little outwards towards tornus ; terminal 
dots as on forewing. Forewing beneath slightly less white anteriorly, the 
dusting rather strong in cell, posterior area and hindwing cleaner white ; 
both wings with discal dot, postmedian line and rather weak terminal 
dots.

$, 20-22 mm. Face black above, mixed with white below. Vertex 
greyish. Collar ochreous. Smaller than A. tricommata Warr., Nov. Zool., 
VI, 294, rather less pure white, forewing with the costa slightly more 
arched, hindwing with termen more weakly crenulate, only with a rather 
prominent tooth at R 3 . Forewing without black spots at costa and 
virtually without the characteristic dark markings of ricommata and the 
ornata group generally, only the discal spot, the terminal dots, and some 
very minute, inconspicuous vein-dots on the distal teeth of the post- 
median line being black ; antemedian and median lines nearly as in 
tricommata, postmedian finely and pretty regularly denticulate, a little 
further from termen between the radials and slightly approaching it at 
hind margin ; white subtermmal line broad, at radials receding somewhat 
from termen and at the same time doubling in thickness, thus here reach- 
ing the postmedian line ; five grey-brown spots proximally to the sub- 
terminal, the first two separated by SC 5 and nearly confluent, the third 
and fourth separated by M 1 , the fifth at hind margin ; terminal dots 
relatively very large ; some black dots at base of fringe, the strongest 
close to tornus. Hindwing without the first line, median angled on SC, 
strongly incurved proximally bo cell ; cell-dot rather larger than on fore- 
wing ; postmedian line with the curves stronger than on forewing ; the 
rest like forewing. Under surface white, unmarked.
