A. taminata Prout (4 cl). Recognizable by the very extended purple-grey cloudings on the wings and laminafa. 
dark maculation on the abdomen. Possibly a form of albinata, but the hindtibial process of the <$ appears 
longer, nearly reaching the end of the 1st tarsal joint. In any case not a local race, as I originally supposed; 
for both occur together in the Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, the only known habitat of taminata. 
We figure the allotype 9. 
A. albinata Warr. Purple-grey central band narrower than in taminata, apical cloud of hindwing very albinata. 
small, abdomen predominantly green. The white postmedian spot is on both wings differently shaped, some¬ 
times almost V-ehaped, in any case with its proximal side deeply indented in the middle. Hindtibial process in 
the about half as long as 1st tarsal joint. Described from the Owen Stanley Range, but extending to the 
mountains of Dutch New Guinea. 
A. speciosa T . P. Luc. (10 h). $ without the white spots of the three preceding forms, the purple-grey speciosa. 
cloudings also obsolete, or only in the median area feebly indicated. chionoplaca Lower (= albimacula Warr., chionopla- 
sideralis T. P. Luc.) is the $ form, differing from the $ in having on the hindwing a composite white spot 
much like that of albinata, on the forewing a much smaller spot. Queensland. A $ from Mt. Riu, Sudest Is¬ 
land, is quite similar to that of speciosa, but may prove to belong to the following or another race. lepto- leptocosma. 
cosma subsp. nov. $ not essentially different from that of speciosa. <J: forewing with the white spot at the 
3rd radial only a little larger than the rest of the white dots, but accompanied by a small white dash in front; 
the row of small white subterminal dots between the veins rather well developed; beneath with the costal 
commencement of a green postmedian line. Hindwing without the large white spot of speciosa J. New Ire¬ 
land, December 1923—January 1924, types in Mus. Tring. 
A. rufipunctata Warr. (10 i). $ very similar to the $ of speciosa but with the abdomen differently rufipunc- 
belted. $ very distinct in the red-spotted fringes, red shading to the white terminal spots and especially in taia - 
the development of a narrow red apical patch on the hindwing. New Guinea and Goodenough Island, the 
type from the Upper Aroa River. 
A. goniota Lower (= curvigutta Warr.) (10g). Very distinct in the $ on account of the peculiarly shaped goniota. 
pale terminal patches between the costal margin and the 1st median. dorsimaculata Prout (4 d) is, as I now dorsimacu- 
believe, the of the same species and may be distinguished from that of speciosa by the blotch on the abdomen 
and the reduced white subterminal maculation of the hindwing, goniota and curvigutta were described from 
Queensland, dorsimacula from Dutch New Guinea; the species is also known to me from British New Guinea, 
Dampier and Admiralty Islands. 
A. textilis Btlr. (10 i) is the only Indian species belonging to this group of Anisozyga. The midterminal textilis. 
blotches recall those of some of the preceding group, but the addition of an apical one on the hindwing and 
especially of two central (discocellular and hindmarginal on) ; the forewing distinguish it immediately. Darjiling 
and the Chittagong Hills, rare. 
A. lithocrossa is of a rather brighter and more opaque green, especially in the $. There are several 
forms, or close allies, which are not yet throughly understood. All agree in having irregularly dentate, often 
slightly interrupted, white lines in the A and more ornamental borders in the 9- lithocrossa Meyr. (10 f) lithocrossa. 
has the distal borders of the $ rather narrow but dark, expanding slightly at the apices and on the forewing 
at the anal angle. Described from Dinner Island, British New Guinea; it frequents the coastal regions of New 
Guinea and reaches an altitude of 2500 feet. Similar forms, not yet differentiated, occur on Ron Island, the 
D’Entrecasteaux and Trobriand Islands, Woodlark, St. Aignan, Vulcan and Dampier Islands and even Guadal¬ 
canal hilaris Warr. is a race from the Owen Stanley Range with the white markings somewhat expanded hilaris.

in exactly the opposite directions. The postmedian line of the forewing does not (as in both the previous 
races) expand into a spot on the hindmargin. Similar forms occur on Rossel and Sudest Islands. expansa expansa. 
subsp. nov. is a large race (S' 32- 34 mm, $ 36 to 38 mm) with the white markings in the even more ex¬ 
panded than in hilaris, the postmedian, as well as the subterminal, developing into a spot in cellule 3. $ w ith 
the borders not broad, but broadening at tornus of forewing and apex of hindwing, the spots thus formed 
containing each a dark dash or short streak. New Hanover (loc. typ.) and New Britain, the latter in a less 
extreme development as regards the $. Type in Mus. Tring. 
A. subfasdata Warr. Costal margin of forewing whiter than in lithocrossa, antemedian line more subfasciata. 
oblique from costa to fold. A otherwise very similar. $ broad-bordered above, the underside having a complete 
brown submarginal band and on the forewing an extended lighter brown suffusion from costal margin to 
behind the cell. Western Solomons: New Georgia, Kulambangra and Rendova. 
A. albifimbria Warr. $ scarcely distinguishable from that of subfasciata, the white markings on the whole albifhnbria. 
more sharply expressed, especially the subterminal dots, the ante- and postmedian lines not quite so strongly 
divergent anteriorly. $ beneath not banded, above much more like its <$ than in the two preceding species,
