A. albilauta Warr. (= fragmentata ab. major Warr., absona $ Warr., nec <$). <§ Exceedingly like aphrias albilauta. 
(10 e) J but larger, the hindwing with the 1st median generally more shortly (or scarcely) stalked, the white marking 
on the abdominal margin of the hindwing stronger. $ also like aphrias $ but larger, the terminal markings 
generally ampler, nearly always more strongly pale-mixed. — ab (?) niviplena Prout has all the white markings niviplena. 
considerably extended, the cellspot of the forewing not dark-pupilled, a white cell-spot present on the hindwing 
also. Snow Mountains: Upper Setekwa River (S'). — albilauta is distributed in British and Dutch New Guinea 
and reaches Mefor and the Trobriand Islands. 
A. albiguttata Warr. <$ antennal pectinations very short, only about as long as the diameter of the shaft, albiguttata. 
Size of a large callisticta (11 e), the green ground-colour brighter, but almost covered with white spots; these are 
partly confluent, but in the distal area form two more regular rows, separated by the veins; terminal white dots 
on the veins. Snow Mountains, near Oetakwa River, only the type known. 
A. callisticta Turn. (lie). J pectinations fully twice as long as in albiguttata, the white spots smaller, callisticta. 
$ with the white markings slight, some dark purple-grey markings developed, the most conspicuous being a 
subterminal between the 1st radial and 1st median of the forewing, a large apical blotch on the hindwing (as 
in desolata , [4 d], or slightly broader) and a small one at anal angle of each wing. N. Queensland (type) and 
N. E. British New Guinea, Kumusi River, at a low elevation. Our figured J is from the latter source. 
A. albifinita Prout, founded on a from Mount Goliath, has the size, shape and nearly the structure albifinita. 
of longiuscula (4 c, as iridescens), but has dark purplegrey markings at base, along the hindmargin, near the 
termen (except between the median veins), at the termen (in the form of interneural streaks) and on the inward 
angle on the discocellulars, and is further characterized by having conspicuous white ante- and postmedian 
spots on the hindmargin of the forewing, the former terminating a thick, curved whitish line. 
A. diazeuxis Prout (= semilineata Warr.) (lie). Easily distinguished from callisticta (lie) by the diazeuxis. 
bright green colour and the further reduction of the white spots, as well as by the structure. In albiguttata 
and callisticta R 3 and M 1 of the hindwing are stalked; in diazeuxis the 3rd discocellular is much more oblique, 
with the result that these veins are well separate at their origin. Arfak Mountains (type) and Hydrographer 
Mountains. 
A. diversifimbria Prout. Brighter green than giiseonotata (lie), the fringes with strong red-brown spots 
at the vein-ends, the abdomen with rather larger white spots; perhaps a race from lower altitudes. Hydrographer 
Mountains, 2500 feet. 
A. griseonotata Warr. (lie). Venation of hindwing as in diazeuxis. Sexes alike. The white markings 
are slight and indefinite; the faint purple-grey lines, from which Warren named the species, are commonly 
obsolete. Owen Stanley Range, 5000 feet and upward. 
A. albifusa Warr. differs from iridescens and its form longiuscula (3 c) in having extensive white albifusa. 
irroration in the median area anteriorly, the median area bounded by white bands and the subterminal white 
spots enlarged. Wings broad, as in typical iridescens. Owen Stanley Range. 
A. iridescens. Discocellulars of forewing acutely angled inward, as in Oxychora, of hindwing extremely 
oblique posteriorly, but with M 1 less widely separate than in diazeuxis, sometimes connate with R 3 . —- reducta reducta. 
Prout is a small form from the Arfak Mountains, the with ill-defined white subterminal markings somewhat 
as in taminata (4d), the £ with the borders darker and more purplish than in the other races. — longiuscula longius- 
Prout (4 c, as iridescens) is rather larger and relatively longer-winged than the name-type, otherwise similar. 
Mount Goliath. — iridescens Warr. (£ = innuba Warr.) (4d, $ as innuba) is the race from the Owen Stanley 
Range. The $, with its characteristic borders, was not at first recognized as belonging to the same species. — 
liydrographa subsp. nov. Similar to reducta, the in addition with an ill-defined antemedian band on the fore- hydro- 
wing, recalling that of albifusa, the $ with the borders slightly more uniformly darkened than in reducta. Hydro- grapha. 
grapher Mountains, British New Guinea, 2500 feet, January, March, April and May 1918 (Eichhorn brothers), 
2 and 5 $$ in Mus. Tring. 
A. gavissima Walk. (11 e). A strikingly distinct species on account of the bright and varied coloration, gavissima. 
The discocellulars of the hindwing are scarcely oblique and M 1 is very long-stalked with R 3 . The hindtibia 
of the is not dilated. Perhaps generically separable, or a pectinated section of Chloromachia. Described from 
Borneo but apparently commoner in Sikkim and Assam, known also from Ceylon and Selangor. —- aphrodite aphrodite, 
subsp. nov. (Suppl. 4, pi. 1 c) is a heavily marked race from Szechuan (type) and Chinese Tibet; type in 
coll. Prout, from Kwanhsien.

45. Genus: Chloromachia Warr. 
Close to Anisozyga but with non-pectinate antenna and less oblique discocellulars of the hindwing. 
The few species known are all Indo-Australian and are not very homogeneous in appearance. The genotype 
{divapala) shows a similar sexual dimorphism to that of Anisozyga.
