I have only received this insect from Kiukiang, Central China, Avhere Pratt 
met with it commonly in June and July.

Although closely allied to A. sylvatica, Bremer A. nerindata differs in 
being smaller and broader in the wing ; tlie discoidal cell of primaries is 
not traversed by a heavily scaled longitudinal line, and the outer marginal 
borders are much narrower. 
It does not appear to be a common species. I have only received a dozen 
specimens, which were taken in June and July at Moupin, Ta-chien-lu, and 
Wa-ssu-kow.

" Brigbt fulvous, with black veins and moderately broad purplish-brown outer borders (narrower 
than in A. si/lvatica) ; primaries, with a slender, oblique, linear, black brand ; secondaries 
with the basal area and abdominal border dusky ; wings below clearer than above, with 
black veins and linear black margin : primaries with the base (excepting upon the costa and 
brand) as above, black ; legs and front of palpi yellow, hinder part of palpi and venter 
white. 
" Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 lines. 
" This species is allied to P. si/lvafica, but markedly distinct ; it is frecpiently mistaken for 
P. venatit of brem., biit (as I believe) simply because it has black veins ; in the form of its 
wings it is totally dissimilar." (Buthr, I. c.) 
Formerly I considered A. leonina to be synonymous with A. (P.) sylvatica, 
but now that I have a much larger amount of material available for exam- 
ination I find that it is quite distinct. The males of A. leonina are much
