Dutch New Guinea; all the types were contained in Meek's fine collection from the Upper Aroa River, 
collusa subsp. nov. Except that the termen of the hindwing (especially in the $) is slightly less convex, giving 
to the wing a less broadened appearance, this differs very little from the New Guinea type. Upperside in general 
slightly duller (more irrorated with grey), the greyish costal edge of the forewing more pronounced, the cell- 
dot generally weakened. Both wings beneath more strongly vinaceous than in some g. glomerata, almost the 
entire forewing suffused, hindwing strongly marked. Paloe, W. Celebes: Gunong Tompoe, 2700 feet, both sexes 
(including the type) and Koelawi, 3100 feet (J. P. A. Kalis). 
C. Hindtibia of $ with 3 spurs; antenna of <$ with a tuft of hair; fore- 
w i n g of $ with a costal fold which is partly clothed with projecting hair- 
scales ( Pachythalia Warr.). 
A. rotundata Warr. (17 h). Areole wanting, as also in glomerata. The considerable differences in the 
o structure prevent our regarding them as races of one species, but they have quite evidently a common origin. 
The type locality is Penang and I have other records for the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. 
D. Hindtibia of with 3 spurs, normally placed; f o r e w i n g of A with¬ 
out special modifications [Pisoraca Walk.). 
A. insitiva Prout (17 h) recalls small specimens of the widely-distributed obliviaria Walk, more than 
any known Pisoraca ; but the less elongate forewing and the presence of an areole (though small), as well as 
the cJ leg-structure, distinguish it readily. Nilgiris (type) and Formosa. 
A. mesotoma Prout (17 h). Similar in structure to insitiva , but with the 3rd joint of the palpus less 
elongate. The most distinctive marking is the strong (on the hindwing almost straight) median line, a marked 
contrast to the indefinite median shade of most Pisoraca. Hainan (type), Burma and Malaya. 
A. spectabilis sp. n. (19 a). Quite distinct from any 3-spurred Indo-Australian Anisodes previously 
known. Palpus with 3rd joint slender, not greatly elongate. Crown of head scarcely whiter than ground-colour. 
Abdomen with minute dorsal dots. Forewing with areole developed. The wing-pattern in all known examples 
is constant, recalling the Neotropical nigropustulata Warr., and the cell-spots and characteristic subterminal 
spots are also strongly developed beneath. Paloe, W. Celebes: Gunong Tomjioe, and Lindoe, 2700—3700 feet 
(J. P. A. Kalis), both sexes in the Tring Museum; 9 rather larger than <$, the markings intense. 
A. punctata Warr. (19 a). A, smaller species, in colour and markings similar to mesotoma with the median 
shade weakened; the palpus, however, is at least as long as in insitiva and the areole is wanting. N. Queensland in 
October and November, best known from the Cairns district. — interpolis subsp. nov. Rather larger than 
Warren’s originals (but p. punctata varies in size), postmedian dot on 2nd radial less large, cell-ring of hind¬ 
wing rounder and blacker, underside of forewing more rosy. Paloe, Celebes (J. P. A. Kalis): a good pair from 
Tompoe, 2700 feet; a somewhat worn 9 from Rangkoenau, 1800 feet. 
A. auricosta Prout, (17 i). A striking species, not only on account of its shape and its bright colour, 
but also on account of its very moderate palpus, even in the $. When I knew only that sex, I was misled into 
calling it “Ptochophylel”, with Anisodes venation, but my alternative suggestion, that it might require a new 
genus, may yet prove justified. Areole well developed. Dutch New Guinea, the type from Mt. Goliath. Sub¬ 
sequently discovered by the Pratt brothers on Buru. 
A. aurora Warr. (17 h), which is certainly related to auricosta , was on similar grounds (and from a single 
9) misplaced by its author in Chrysolene (= Ptochophyle). It is distinguished from aurora by its different tone 
and by the “dull olive-yellow band" of the forewing; cell-dots wanting or rudimentary. British New Guinea, 
type from Upper Aroa River. 
A. eos Prout, (17 i) differs from auricosta , together with which it was collected on Mt. Goliath, in its 
smaller size, somewhat longer and more slender 3rd joint of the palpus, less extreme shape, more orange-red 
colour and presence of grey lines. 
A. geranium Prout (17 i) is presumably a fourth species in the aurora-group, but is only known from 
two 99- Smaller; wings more rounded; palpus quite moderate; peach-blossom pink, irrorated with geranium 
pink, the markings of the latter colour, not grey. Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains. 
A. compacta Warr. (17 i). Much less bright than the four preceding, though a little more orange-reddish 
than the average Pisoraca. Palpus moderate, slender, the terminal joint in the 9 about Vo of the rather elongate 
2nd joint. Areole developed. Build fairly robust, forewing not elongate. Kei Islands (type), New Guinea, the 
Louisiade Islands and Bismarck Archipelago. — ab. balia nov. (17 i), with heavy markings, in particular the
