hindwing beneath which exhibits in the <$ larger, in the $ smaller bright silvery lustrous guttiform spots. West 
Australia, (Perth) in spring; according to other statements also near Adelaide in South Australia. 
A. tasmamkus Misk. (= comma Ky.) has an expanse of 26 to 28 mm. Eorewing golden dark brown, tasmanicus. 
in the basal portion with golden yellow hair; the spots are ochreous white: a large irregular one in the posterior 
part of the cell, an oblong-quadrangular one between the latter and the margin, above it a small one, a sub- 
apical oblique row of 3 small ones at the costa, below the cellular spot 2 small ones feebly marked dull yellow; 
below the centre of the hindwing 2, rarely 3 round whitish spots only separated by the veins. Hindwing beneath 
dark brown, entirely scaled greyish-white; 2 discal transverse rows of dark dots. The spots above are also visible 
beneath and here edged with dark. Somewhat similar to croceus Misk. Victoria and Tasmania, November 
till January. 
A. argina Plotz (171 i), from Brisbane, presumably does not belong to this genus and is surely not argina. 
identical with polysema. The very exact original figure exhibits also very much speckled fringes, yet the spots 
on the forewing are much smaller and situate in a rather regular ring, and also the hindwing exhibits a post¬ 
median arcuate row of rather minute light dots. Beneath these small spots form small white punctiform shadows 
arranged like the small rings on the hindwing beneath of phigalia (167 g). 
A. peromata Ky. This species as well as the following inhabits the mountains and seems to be absent peromata. 
in the plains; the has no sexual mark. Very similar to ornata (167 f), but larger, the band on the hindwing 
above is narrower, the spots on the hindwing beneath are differently arranged. — Larva light yellowish-green, 
on Cladium; pupa blackish, at the anterior end 2 obtuse protuberances. — From the Blue Mountains in New 
South Wales, and from Victoria, in October and November. 
A. munionga Olliff. is like peromata a mountain-dweller without the sexual mark; expanse 30 munionga. 
to 35 mm. Spots on the forewing orange, the one in the lower part of the cell wedge-shaped, hindwing with 
a rather short narrow orange band in the disc, which, however, does not approach the margins. Beneath the 
hindwing is of a bright yellowish orange with black spots. By this beautifully coloured under surface of the 
hindwing the species is easily discernible. From Mt. Kosziusko in New South Wales. 
Finally another lepidopteron from Dorey may be mentioned, which may belong to this genus, but also to another 
genus; it is unknown to me and seems not to have been found again. Watson who knew Hewitson’s collection does not 
enumerate it as existing in London. I therefore recapitulate Hewitson’s diagnose: 
H. aenesias Hew. Above dark brown, forewing with a large central tripartite spot and a tripartite apical spot, both aenesias. 
yellow, transparent. Under surface: forewing with a large grey apical spot, hindwing reddish-grey, shaded with brown. Costal 
margin exhibiting a small ochreous spot and the distal halves of the wings almost dark brown. Hindwing traversed by a 
band of grey spots. Distal margin grey. 
7. Genus: Kxometaeea Meyr. 
The only species belonging hereto is not lying before me, and I can therefore only recapitulate the 
authors’ diagnoses. Antennal club long, pointed, flawed. Palpi almost porrect with a pointed last joint of 
medium length. Hind tibiae with all the spurs. $ without a sexual stripe, in the forewing vein 5 is parallel 
with 4 and 6, at the base somewhat nearer to the latter. In the hindwing vein 5 is present, at the base 
somewhat nearer to 6. (Lower.) 
E. nycteris Meyr. Expanse 27 mm. Eorewing dark ochreous-brown, towards the base behind with a nycteris. 
darker brown tint. At the base of the forewing, next to the hind-margin, a dark longitudinal spot; in the disc, 
above the centre a linear transverse mark; behind vein 2, before the centre a dark clouded dot; above veins 
3 and 4 in the disc before the marginal third 2 very small white spots, behind the lower of which there are two 
dark brown dots. Before the apex a series of 3 small dots from the costal margin, posteriorly edged with dark. 
Hindwing with a cloudy dark transverse spot in the disc before the centre, behind it a row of 5 very small spots 
from the costal margin towards the centre. Hindwing beneath rather light brown, before, the centre a 
small darker discal crescent; behind it an arcuate row of 5 small dark spots. Albany in West Australia, some 
specimens taken in December. 
8. Genus: ftuastus Mr. 
The lepidoptera of this genus so much resemble the common species of Parnara, that some of them 
cannot be distinguished from the latter in the air, and single species, such as gremius, are very difficult to discover 
from among the Parnara mathias bustling about everywhere. The genus comprises about a dozen forms being 
all rather alike and distributed over the whole of India as far as the Philippines. The 3rd palpal joint is 
needle-shaped, erect, a little bent over; hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. On the forewing the costal vein does 
not touch the first subcostal branch, as it does in Sancus and Koruthaiolos, where it is even sometimes fused 
with it for some distance. Cf. Vol. I, ji. 342.
