A. decolorata Warr. (18 e), founded on a pair from Lifu (Loyalty Islands) is generally at least as small decolcrata. 
as niveopuncta, on the whole paler or more inclining to ochreous. Probably not specifically distinct, though 
the distal margins in the originals look slightly more bowed and the $ rather broad-winged. Forms from Fiji 
and Tahiti are also referred here. 
K. Forewing of A narrow, the proximal part of the hind margin lobed, 
the region of the hind angle cut away; a r e o 1 e wanting; hindtibia of with 
3 spurs ( Streptopteron Swirih.). 
A. posticamplum Swinh. (= posticampla Hmps.) (18 e). $ unknown; A recognizable at a glance by posticam- 
its shape and the curiously formed black posterior mark of the hindwing. Khasis. expunctor Prout, a A 
from Kinabalu, at 3300 feet, has the posterior lobe of the forewing a little fuller, the hindwing slightly better 
rounded between the 3rd radial and the tornus; slightly paler, median shade of forewing better developed, 
but with the characteristic mark obsolete. A $ from the same mountain, at 5500 feet, has exactly the same 
tone and markings but the normal wing-shape of Anisodes and may be safely referred here. A A from Bukit 
Kutu represents perhaps an intermediate subspecies.

L. H indtibia of A with 2 spurs, femur and tibia not tufted (Anisodes). 
1. Subsection. Areole present. 
A. confiniscripta Warr. (= punctata Eothsck., nec Warr.) (18 e). A small and pale species, with the confini- 
lines punctiform, the postmedian strongly displaced on the 2nd radial and strengthened into a dot or dash; scnpta. 
cell-mark of forewing always, of hindwing very generally punctiform. Widely distributed; the range embraces 
Malaya. Borneo, Mindanao, Celebes, Sula, Koer, Little Kei, Dammer, Tenimber (the type) and Dutch New 
Guinea. — ab. rubripuncta Warr. has the cell-spot of the hindwing somewhat larger, bright ochreous; the type rubripuncia. 
and several transitions are from Celebes and a W. Javan $ (the only Javan confiniscripta yet known) is a 
rather extreme development. 
A. intermixtaria Swinh. (18 f). Generally less small than confiniscripta, hindwing appreciably more intermix- 
crenulate; colour warmer, median shade thicker, postmedian dots more normal, cell-mark of hindwing ocellated, tari 
etc. Palpus, even in the A> strongly elongate. Common in the Khasis, rarer in Sikkim and Bhutan. Variation 
very slight. Specimens from Formosa perhaps constitute a separate race, almost as heavily marked as the 
following but agreeing with the type in colouring. As I only know $$, mostly in poor condition I defer judg¬ 
ment. — collustrata subsp. nov. Larger, at least than the average i. intermixtaria, length of a forewing 13 or collustrata. 
14 mm. Femoro-tibial tuft of A hindleg perhaps a little stronger. Colour warmer (cinnamon-buff, in places 
a trifle lighter and yellow'er); cell-ring of hindwing larger than that of forewing, markings decidedly heavier, 
the grey antemedian and median shades (especially the former) more zigzag, antemedian of hindwing better 
developed. Underside also more strongly marked. Pahang: Cameron Highlands (H. M. Pekdlebttry), a pair 
taken at light, 4800 m, the A in the British Museum, the $ in the Selangor Museum. 
A. pepira sp. n. (19 a). Very near the preceding, the A (though in good condition) with scarcely a pepira. 
vestige of a femoro-tibial tuft. Forewdng slightly broader, the termen a little less oblique, that of hindwing 
less crenulate; colouring-more reddish; costal irroration and transverse grey shades less strong, antemedian 
less strongly zigzag, cell-ring of hinclwing reduced, only about the size of that of forewing, though in the 99 
rather more blackened. Underside weakly marked, the forewdng except at hindmargin with rosy or vinaceous 
suffusion, the hindwing predominantly pale. Pahang: Cameron Highlands, a pair, at the same altitude as the 
preceding; Fraser’s Hill, 1 $. Type in the British Museum. — sbesta form. nov. Rather smaller and decidedly sbesta. 
paler, less reddish. Structure about the same, unless there are slightly more definite indications of the femoro- 
tibial tuft of the A', wings slightly intermediate in shape towards those of collustrata; cell-ring of hindwing 
perhaps relatively a little less small than in p. pepira; underside not quite so weakly marked, the forewing 
showing the median shade and the proximal subterminal in a slightly more definite vinaceous than the ground¬ 
colour. Selangor: Bukit Kutu, 3500 feet (H. M. Pendlebury), 3 AS and 1 $, type S in the British Museum. 
Also 1 $ from Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, 4800 feet. 
A. interpulsata Walk. (18 f). Much larger than confiniscripta and intermixtaria, colouring intermediate interpulsata. 
towards that of the latter, to which it also assimilates in the long A palpus and the crenulate wing-markings. 
LTnderside whitish, the markings tinged with pink, weak, especially on the hindwing. N. India (loc. typ.), 
Malay Peninsula and Kinabalu. 
A. arenosaria Moore (18f) was sunk by Hampson to interpulsata and is without doubt nearly related, arenosaria. 
but distinct. The pale ground-colour is more densely, though irregularly, irrorated and the irroration is pre¬ 
dominantly sandy ochreous; the cloudy, on the forewdng very irregular (in places broad) median shade is
