A. musca Mob. (168 e) is only as large as the palearctic nana (Vol. I, pi. 86 g) or still somewhat smaller, 
above dark sepia-brown with lighter fringes, beneath there are postmedian and subterminal rows of light 
densely crowded dots on both wings; in the hindwing often also a few discal dots. Luzon. 
A. dubius Elw. (171 h) is extraordinarily similar to musca ; the rows of spots are likewise dull brownish, 
obsolete; but there is also always another small spot in the cell; in the $ the spots beneath are somewhat more 
distinct. Palnai Hills; Travancore. 
A. indistincta Mr. (171 g) represents the genus in the Nilgiri Mts.; by the small spots being almost 
entirely obsolete, the species (or form) externally resembles A. javanicus. 
A. kali Nic. (168 e), finally, is the largest species of the genus; it originates from Sikkim and the Naga 
Hills (Bernardmyo) and has a pale brown upper surface; the under surface is characterised by a subterminal 
chain of creamy pearls, with a serried row of such transverse spots before the marginal area, and in the hindwing 
proximad with a double row of such small spots, so that the spotting is much more abundant than in stigmatica. 
12. Genus: liyiua Wts. 
This genus consisting of but 1 species approaches the Halpe, particularly also by the variegated under 
surface. The antennal club is thick, long, curved, and terminating in a long point; on the forewing vein 5 rises 
very slightly nearer to 4 than to 6. The scent-organ of the J is a hair-tuft on the fore wing beneath, to which 
an oval friction-surface corresponds on the hindwing above near the base. 
S. dolopia Hero. (168 e). Above somewhat similar to the Australian Motasingha dirphia (167 e) or 
Hesperilla donnysa (167 g), but without a distinct central spot of the hindwing. Beneath the ground of the 
hindwing is of a beautiful violettish grey with an antemarginal arcuate row of black dots; some of them 
also in the disc. Sikkim, Naga and Khasia Hills. 
13. Genus: l®edestes Wts. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the absence of the $ mark and by the $ genitals showing a 
remarkable asymmetry. 4 species are known, all of which are Indian; only 1 goes so far into North West India 
that it touches the palearctic region; it has therefore been dealt with in Vol. I, p. 343. 
P. masuriensis Mr. (Vol. I, pi. 86 g). The species being above only black and white has been dealt 
with in Vol. I, p. 343. Besides the North-Western Himalaya, it also occurs in Sikkim, and thus belongs also 
to the Indian Fauna. 
P. pandita Nic. almost shows the habitus of a G. nostrodamus \ in the forewing a small yellowish hyaline 
double spot before the cell-end, a double small spot before the apex, and 2 around the upper median branch. 
Hindwing beneath unicoloured dark brown. Sikkim. 
P. parnaca Eruhst. is very similar to pandita, but the spots on the forewing are much larger, the 
subapical dots more separated, the middle one removed more proximad, only one larger cellular macula instead 
of 2 smaller ones; hindwing rounder, broader. Ground-colour beneath black instead of greenish. Tonkin; 
August, September. 
S. maculicornis Elw. (168 f), from Pulo Laut, is somewhat larger and duller, more dark brown than 
blackish-brown; the central spots are smaller, the under surface yellowish-brown with arcuate rows of blackish 
punctiform spots. Fruhstorfer regards the form as a race of submaculata described by Staitdinger as 
Plastingia from Palawan. In this race the hindwing shows one light spot each in the cells 2 and 3, and a yellow 
stripe from the base next to the upper margin of 1 a. Hindwing beneath yellowish-green, with a darker hind- 
margin, 3 black spots near the base, and 6 others forming a postmedian arcuate row. — A third race which, 
however, has neither been denominated nor described is said to have been discovered in South India. 
P. fuscicornis Elw. (168 e, f). Likewise from Pido Laut, quite similar to maculicornis, only the central 
spot of the fore wing, being situate below the cell-end, is considerably larger; hindwing beneath more rust- 
brown, but spotted as in the preceding species. 
14. Genus: A met til 11 Vs. 
Few species the neuration of which is not quite homogeneous are reckoned to this genus. They are not 
distinctly separated from each other nor do they differ particularly from the species mentioned last of the 
preceding genus. The 3rd palpal joint is porrect and vein 3 of the hindwing branches off considerably before 
the cell-end. 
A. atkinsoni Mr. is like the following species brown with 4 small discal and 3 minute subapical hyaline 
spots on the forewing. The d differs from the following species in a hair-pencil on the centre of the hind-
