24. Genus: Agoschema Prout. 
An apparently isolated genus, of uncertain affinities, evidently mimetic of some of the black-and-white 
Craspe dosis (ovalis- group). As it is certainly a day-flier, we have followed Warren in placing it next to Dys- 
•phania , but it has little in common. Fovea wanting. Antenna in $ not pectinate. Frenulum in the $ apparently 
weak or wanting. Hindwing bluntly angled at the 3rd radial, 2nd subcostal stalked with 1st radial. Only one 
species. 
A. goniata Warr. (9 b). Forewing blue-black, the white patch or band outside the cell variable yoniala. 
in development. Hindwing less variable, the black border always moderately broad. Described from Dutch 
New Guinea, known also from Waigeu and British New Guinea. 
25. Genus: Oenoclllora Warr. (= Euarestus T.P. Luc.). 
This and the following genera are nearly all more or less bright green in colouring, resembling leaves, 
in many cases with dead-leaf coloured markings. The genera from Oenoclllora to Ochrognesia, with frenulum 
developed in both sexes, may be distinguished from the Pingasa group by the colouring, generally less robust 
build and smoother scaling, abdominal crests rarely developed, hindwing with 2nd subcostal often stalked 
with 1st radial. Oenoclllora is unmistakable in shape and habitus, antenna long, in pectinate, hindtibia in 
E with hair-pencil, forewing with the 1st subcostal anastomosing with the costal and rather strongly with 
the 2nd subcostal, hindwing with the 2nd subcostal not stalked. 
0. imperialis Warr. (= nobilitans T. P. Luc.) (9 b). Very variable. The type form has few distinct imperialis. 
markings except the small cell-clots and the reddish or buff costal margin of the hindwing. Underside yellowish, 
with a red-purple submarginal band and narrowly whitish termen. — ab. patrocinatus T. P. Luc., which seems pairocina- 
to be commonest in the §, has a yellow, redringed spot between the 3rd radial and 1st median of the forewing 
near their base, sometimes also a 2nd yellow spot and a large reddish blotch behind it. Queensland, from Cook- 
town to the Brisbane district; also from British New Guinea. — majestica Prout, from the Snow Mountains, majesiica. 
Dutch New Guinea, has the costal border of the hindwing rather broad and bright, followed by a strong median 
line which thickens into a bright red spot anteriorly; forewing with the oblique red, black-mixed antemedian 
costal line stronger than in the other forms. 
26. Genus : Agatliia Guen. 
A very beautiful genus, bright green with very characteristic shape and pattern. Palpus in the $ 
with 3nd joint strongly elongate. Antenna in both sexes simple. Hindtibia of generally dilated with hair- 
pencil. Abdomen slightly crested or smooth. Venation normal, 1st subcostal of forewing nearly always free, 
2nd subcostal of hindwing not stalked. The ES of many species have on the forewing beneath a flap of long 
scales projecting forward from the median vein, partly covering a sort of fovea in the cell. The genus is chiefly 
Indo-Australian, reaching Fiji, but a few small species straggle into Africa. 
A. lycaenaria was one of the first described species and shows some geographical variation. Forewing 
with the cell-flap rudimentary; the last red spot of postmedian series, except in impar <$, placed on hindmargin 
well proximal to the hind angle; central blotches (postmedian on forewing, terminal on hindwing) generally 
large. — impar Prout, from Belgaum, has the markings slender in the <$, but broad and confluent into bands impar. 
in the recalling the asterias group. We have not separated the examples from the Malay Peninsula. — lycaenaria lycaenaria. 
Roll. (= albiangularia H.-Sch., discriminata Walk.) (vol. 4, pi. 1 h), from N. India, is pretty constant, except that 
the markings of the $ are slightly broader and more confluent. From Upper Burma, Hainan, Hong Kong and 
Formosa come $$ with the spots slightly further enlarged. — luzonensis Prout. Markings in both sexes broken luzonensis. 
into spots, the central postmedian spot of the forewing reduced, bipartite. Philippines. — par Prout. Sexes par. 
alike, E with the costal margin more broadly flesh-colour than in the other ES ’> spots rather small, the post¬ 
median placed nearer to the distal margin than in the other forms. Celebes. Possibly a separate species. - 
hedia Prout. Forewing in $ nearly as in impar, the central postmedian spot rarely quite so small, that at hind- h cilia. 
margin less abnormally placed, the triangular terminal marks at the 2nd et 3rd radials reduced, the former 
almost or quite wanting; hindwing nearly as in impar. $ near that of luzonensis, or intermediate towards lycae¬ 
naria. Queensland. Forms from Java and the lesser Sunda Islands can also be referred here, though westward 
the $$ begin more to approach typical lycaenaria. Some Queensland larvae in the Tring Museum (F. P. Dodd)
