there in no regular curve of the whitish line. Band of hindwing slightly narrower than in albicurvaturci, a larger 
hooked mark on abdominal margin 3 or 4 mm from anal angle. Dammer Island (loc. typ.) and Tenimber, 
also a race (?) from Java. 
A. eromena Prout. Larger (42—44 mm), closer to asterias, of which it may even prove a race. Abdomen eromena. 
above with less green admixture than in that species, the crests better developed, blackish. Forewing with the 
costal margin purplish to nearer the base, median band very narrow, sometimes evanescent, postmedian not 
edged with yellow proximally. S. Celebes. — cara Prout (? — carissima Semp., nec Btlr.) (9 d) is rather smaller cam. 
and is still nearer to asterias, in that the borders are yellow-edged proximally, the green subapical patch of 
forewing crosses the 3rd radial, which is not the case in eromena. $ closely like a small asterias diversilinea. 
Philippines. 
A. maculimargo Prout. Larger than distributa (9 b), the postmedian spot, especially of the hindwing, maculimar- 
further from the termen, the red spot on the tail of the hindwing not accompanied proximally by white. Structure g0 ' 
as in lycaenidia, of which it may be an extreme race. $ with the spots much larger, redder, connected into 
irregular bands. Amboina (type) and Little Key; Ceram. 
A. lycaenidia Bastelb. (9 a). Cell-flap beneath forewing beginning to develop. Colour-dimorphism lycaenidia. 
as in distributa. Spots more as in lycaenaria, the costal ones in the S' larger, more triangular. As in distributa 
and asterias , the last postmedian spot of the forewing is placed at the tornus, not at the hindmargin. Bismarck 
Archipelago. Unless the slight distinction in the cell-flap be tenable, this may well be a race of asterias with 
the outer spots more isolated, the central one of the forewing in the on the other hand relatively broadened, 
the S abdomen predominantly green above. A single S from Misol is virtually identical with a Vulcan Island 
aberration of lycaenidia in which the central outer spot is narrowed. On New Hanover, lycaenidia and sinui- 
jascia were collected together, entirely without transitions. — batjanensis subsp. nov. Postmedian of hindwing batjanensis. 
more proximally placed, leaving room for an extended green area between it and an enlarged tailspot which 
runs inward on the 3rd radial. Batjan, 1 from the Oberthur collection. 
A. subcamea Warr. (= pisina part. Swinh., Prout olim, nec Btlr.) (9 a). with the borders deep subcamea. 
red, rather broad and even, forewing beneath with some reddish suffusion. Hindtibia with hair-pencil and 
terminal process. $ similar to an overgrown asterias, with broad borders and little-swollen band. Trobriands 
(loc. typ.), New Guinea, D’Entrecasteaux, Vulcan and Dampier Islands. 
A. conjunctiva Warr. is known in the $ only and will almost certainly prove to be a $-dimorph of conjunctiva. 
some known species, probably asterias diversilinea v 9 b) or prasinaspis (9e). Markings very broad, central 
band more oblique than in the allied forms, coalescing with the terminal band behind — or even in front of — the 
submedian vein. Upper Aroa River, British New Guinea. Also from other New Guinea localities as far as Mount 
Goliath, and from Fergusson Island. 
A. prasinaspis Meyr. (= veneranda Sivinh.) (9 e) is a fine large species, in the closely like the following prasinas- 
except ia size, the two being unique in Agathia in having lost the 1st band. — $ very much like that of asterias P IS ' 
but larger, the markings rather broader and more regular, the green subapical spot ending at the 3rd radial, 
only followed by an isolated dot in cellule 3. Founded on a $ from Port Moresby. Distributed throughout 
New Guinea, Fergusson, Rossel and Sudest Islands, N. Australia and Queensland, the Australian forms being 
smaller than the New Guinea. — albipunctulata Bastelb. (9 c), founded on a $, is distinguished in that sex albipunctu- 
by having more jagged markings and on the hindwing an additional (small) white spot in cellule 2. <$ quite lata. 
like that of prasinaspis in its large New Guinea forms except that the proximal edge of the subapical half-band 
is nearly always crenulate, not smooth. Bismarck Archipelago. 
A. laetata F. (= catenaria Walk.) was described as from the ,,East Indies” without further detail, laetala. 
but according to Aurivillius (Ent. Tidskr. Vol. 18, p. 165) belongs to the species which has been generally 
known by that name and doubtless represents the southern race (Bombay to S. India and Ceylon); zonaria 
Donov. seems to be a further synonym, but was reputed to come from ,,China”. The has the borders rather 
narrow and purple, while in the $ they become materially broader, lighter and more reddish. The larva and 
pupa have been described and figured from Ceylon. Larva green, with dorsal prominences on the prothorax 
and 8th (?) abdominal somite. On Nerium oleander. Pupa yellowish green above, green below, the abdomen 
black-speckled. —- isogyna Prout (9 c). Border still deeper purple, its proximal edge on the forewing less curved 
or bent. Both sexes nearly like prasinaspis $, the subapical green spot differently shaped. Ivhasis, rather com¬ 
mon. Also from Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra and Formosa. — andamanensis subsp. nov. has the border 
somewhat broadened, on hindwing more deeply indented proximally, the proximal costal spot of the forewing 
broadened. Type: a J ex coll. Swinhoe.
