points parallel to first series, running halfway between first and apex, to 
before middle of termen, thence becoming vertical ; a third short series of 
points before apex ; a few dark brown points below middle of costa. Cilia 
pale ochreous (imperfect). Hind wing and cilia pale ochreous. 
Socius slender, rather long. Gnathos with a bilobed appendix below, 
hook long, slender. Transtilla knob robust. Aedoeagus little curved with a 
subapical thorn (Slide No. 402 !)). 
Top Camp, 2100 m, January 25, 1939. One specimen. Intermediate 
between A. rufostricitana-group and A. aniara- group. Distinct by large size 
and rectangular fore wing.

Rattan Camp, 1200 m, February 19, 1939. Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 
14, 1939. Iebele Camp, 2250 m, November 15, 1939. Top Camp, 2100 m, 
January 25, 1939. Two males, two females. 
<? 18 — 22 m, $ 26 mm. Females tinged darker ferruginous, hind wing 
paler than in the type; costal patch with inner edge continuous, running 
below parallel to tornus, to end of dorsum. Otherwise similar to the type. 
This and the two following large species show some resemblance with 
Homona chiefly through their facies, and the dark apex of the hind wing. 
Both are closely allied to the female of A. heteroidana Meybick; the male 
described as heteroidana is, in our opinion, an entirely different insect, 
belonging to the A. rufostriatana- group. An answer to this question can be 
given with certainty only after breeding these species from larvae.
