obstataria, which is impossible as the areole is well developed, the 5th subcostal arising from its apex. Head 
lost, but Walker says ‘‘with a rosy band; palpi slender, shorter than the breadth of the head, 3rd joint linear, 
full Y? the length of the 2nd”. Resembles a dwarfed, rather pointed-winged, weak-marked xenocom.etes with 
whitish-yellow costal edge. 
A. minorata Warr. ( — ephyrata Warr.) (18 b). Decidedly smaller than the rest of the section, unless minoruta. 
my suggestion above regarding subroseata prove correct. In colour, etc., not unlike patruelis; cell-spot of hind¬ 
wing more constant; proximal spur of $ hindtibia shorter than the terminal ones. Very similar, except in the 
structure of the hindleg, to compacta Warr., 3rd joint of palpus a trifle longer, at least in the <$; rather smaller, 
upperside on the whole less weakly marked, underside paler, less glossy, better marked. Tenimber Islands 
(both the types) and Key Islands. — tribeles Prout, erected as a species before I had learned to know minorata , tribeles. 
is perhaps almost a synonym, but with the ground-colour a little more vinaceous. Described from Sudest 
Island. Either this or m. minorata occurs in N. Queensland. —- vinotincta Prout has the ground-colour strongly vinotincta. 
suffused with deep vinaceous (slightly rufous), the dark median shade somewhat broadened, an additional 
dark band generally more or less strongly developed outside the postmedian dots and enclosing a series oi 
subterminal spots. St. Matthias Island, a short series. - dubiosa subsp. nov. (18 b) shows some tendency to dubicsa. 
a reduction of the median spur in the 3 hindleg, but neither definite enough nor constant enough to indicate 
a separate species. Forewing with termen rather straight, apex rather acute, colour nearly as in the name- 
type or a little paler. Common at Takow, Formosa, type in the Tring Museum. A few specimens from S. E. 
China and Hainan may be associated with it, though rather larger and brighter. 
A. discofera Swinli. (= discifera Hmps.) (18 b). Strikingly unlike any of the preceding in its charac- discofera. 
teristically shaped, red-brown-edged cell-marks. Superficially it is much more like lieydena, from which it 
differs in its <§ hindleg structure. Khasis (type) and Tonkin. 
A. taiwana Wileman (18 b) is perhaps a race of discofera , certainly a near relative. Distinguishable taiwana. 
by its much less definite cell-marks (that of the forewing in one aberration wanting, leaving only the zigzag 
line) and lack of outer patch between the radials. Formosa. 
H. Forewing of(J with 1st radial abnormally curved; hindtibia of ^with 
3 spurs (Mesotrophe Hmps.). 
A. alienaria Walk. (18 c). Forewing relatively more elongate than in intortaria, the curvature of the alienaria. 
1st radial much less extreme, the wings characteristically blotchy (yellow and dull vinaceous-grey), the black 
dots indistinct. Malay Peninsula and Borneo. A worn $ from Siberut Island, which I tentatively referred 
here, now seems to me more likely to be an unusually blotched intortaria. 
A. maximaria Guen. (=immonstrata Walk., erubescens Warr.) (18 c). Larger and more reddish (or maximaria. 
bright orange-cinnamon) than the commoner intortaria, somewhat differently shaped and on an average more 
weakly marked; underside notably weak-marked, more vinaceous-tinged than upper. Borneo (the locality of 
all the types), Singapore and probably Tonkin. — ab. maculata nov. has a small blackish terminal spot between 
the radials of the forewing and larger, less solid ones at the anal angle of each wing. A from Singapore. 
A. intortaria Guen. (= expunctaria Walk., responsaria Walk., ovisignata Moore, maximaria Hmps., nee intortaria. 
Guen.) (18 c). In addition to the distinctions noted above, this has the lines generally stronger than in maxi- 
maria or, at the least, strongly black-dotted on the veins; median shade nearly always dark at costa. Variable, 
but all the synonyms refer to (approximately) the name-typical form; intortaria and responsaria from Borneo, 
expunctaria from Singapore and ovisignata from Ceylon. — ab. maculata nov., corresponding to that of maxi- maculata. 
maria with the same name, is the most striking aberration and not altogether rare. In addition to the localities 
mentioned, intortaria is found also from Assam to Tonkin, on Sumatra, the Philippines and, according to 
Snellen on Celebes. 
A. nephelospila Meyr. (18 c) has the forewing a little narrower, with the tornus more rounded, the nephelospila. 
hindwing relatively ampler and with the termen slightly more irregular, the whole effect somewhat recalling 
that of some Luxiaria. At least as variable as intortaria, probably with a larger percentage of more or less 
maculate forms. Fairly common in New Guinea and its satellite islands and North Queensland. 
I. H i n d t i b i a o f d extraordinarily short, with a tuft of hair at the base 
and with 3 crowded spurs (Brachycola Warr.). 
A. jocosa Warr. (18 c). Very distinct in its bright yellow colour and strong markings. The name- jocosa. 
typical race, from the Khasis, is little, if at all, modified in Pahang and Sumatra. glycidora Turn, from glycidora. 
Queensland, has the ground-colour somewhat lighter, the median line on both wings more distally placed, 
the cell-clot of the forewing smaller and the cell-ring of the hindwing larger, more narrowly margined with
