this and the terminal line, which is complete, with slight projections. Hindwing with suhterminal double 
throughout, the proximal one broad; a rather large white spot before the tail. S. W. Sumatra: N. Korintji 
Valley, 5000 feet (C. F. <b J. Pratt), 2 33 in coll. Joicey. 
A. arcuata Moore (9e). Cell-flap and tibial pencil developed. Borders always very broad, the slender arcuata. 
proximal band of forewing confluent therewith from the fold. Assam, Ceylon, Shan States, Siam, Hainan, 
Java and Borneo, varying very little. 
A. visenda Btlr. (9 e). Structure of preceding. Larger than hemithearia (9 e) the distal borders pretty visenda. 
similar, the central band of forewing strongly oblique outward posteriorly and with a short prong on the 
anterior part of the 3rd discocellular. Darjeeling, only the type 3 known to me. — gaudens subsp. nov. Borders gaudens. 
less dark, with the green ground-colour protruding rather more deeply before the middle (though not as in 
hemithearia), central band less expanded near costa, submarginal white-green spot between the median 
branches wanting. Khasis, 3 3<S in the Tring Museum. 
A. rubrilineata Warr. (9 e) differs from gaudens in its straighter central band, absence of deep outward rubri- 
projection of the green ground-colour into the purple-red border, white (not yellow) edging to the border and lineatc 
dots on it, etc. Borneo (type), Java and Sumatra. —The 9> described from Java by Swinh oe as a separate 
species, aequisecta Swinh., differs little from the <3\ though its borders are — as usual in this sex — rather aequisecta. 
broad and mixed with orange-red. 
A. ithearia Swinh., founded on 1 $ from Sarawak (erroneously described as 3) is highly probably a ithearia. 
unique aberration of rubrilineata (9 e), but as the respect in which it chiefly deviates (the evenly curved, not dentate, 
proximal edge of the band of the hindwing) is not one in which individual variation is usual, we leave it provisi¬ 
onally as a species. The reddish outer band of the underside is well separated from the distal margin almost 
throughout. 
A. hemithearia Guen. (9e) most nearly resembles a smaller visenda Btlr. and shows similar 3 characters, hemithea- 
but is easily recognizable from our figure. Thorax and abdomen above spotted with green. India (type), ri 
Ceylon, Hainan and Formosa. 
A. beata Btlr. (9 f) differs from all the preceding in having the green ground-colour irrorated with beata. 
purple-brown, as well as in the shape of the borders. 3 hindtibial pencil sleirder. Cell-flap well developed. 
North India and Ceylon. 
A. kuhni Warr. (9f) was described from the 3> which has the cell-flap rather small, the hindtibia with kuhni. 
pencil and terminal process, the tail at the 3rd radial of the hindwing rather long, the broad and very irregular 
purple-grey borders distinctive. — brabanti Th.-Mieg (9 f) is the normal 9-form, with the green ground-colour brabanti. 
reduced to a few small patches and spots, the purplish parts lighter than in the 3- — $-ab. defecta Prout has dejecta. 
the green on the forewing still further reduced, the patch just outside the cell being absent, while the proximal 
one is narrowed anteriorly. — kuhni was described from the Key Islands, but is known also from New Guinea. 
A. obnubilata is of a paler green than any of the preceding, with the markings more olive-grey, recalling 
the coloration of Helicopage. Cell-flap rudimentary, hindtibia of 3 with strong pencil and terminal process. 
There seem to be at least four races. — obnubilata Warr. (9 f), from British and Dutch New Guinea, the type obnubilata. 
from the Upper Aroa River, has the central band of the forewing confluent with the broad distal dark area 
behind the submedian vein. libera Prout, from New Hanover, has the dark markings rather less tinged ubera. 
with brown, the border nearly as ample as in obnubilata but with the green postdiscal band continuing narrowly 
to the hindmargin. — olivacea Warr., from Choiseul and Vella Lavella, has this green area more extended olivacea. 
than in libera and the borders less blackish. ochrofusa Turn., from N. Queensland (Herberton and Kuranda), ochrofusa. 
has the dark markings strongly mixed with ochreous, still further reduced, forming 2 irregular bands, which 
are separated by a green space of about twice their average width. 
A. obsoleta Warr. (9 f). Similarly coloured to the preceding, also agreeing in essential structure, obsoleta. 
Distinguished by the obsolescence of the central band, etc. Java (type); also from Sumatra and Borneo; 
Mindanao. 
A. codina Sivinh. (9 f). Ground-colour a little brighter than in the 2 preceding species, similarly ir- codina. 
rorated. Very distinct in shape. Fairly common in the Khasis. — australis Prout, from the Malay Peninsula, australis. 
Sumatra and Borneo (the type from Penang), differs little, but is appreciably smaller, the dark parts more 
purplish, in the distal area beneath broadened, the postmedian line of the hindwing more acutely angled. 
A. diversiformis Warr. (9f). Muchlike obnubilata in markings, the 9 especially so, but very distinct in shape, diversi- 
the central tail of the hindwing being reduced to a small tooth. The dark parts in the 3 more brown. Basal patch formis. 
of forewing shaped as in codina, in the 3 blackish, in the 9 more brown. Hindwing with distal margin much 
darkened from the 1st radial to the anal angle and with a brown spot on abdominal margin midway between
