rather bright ochreous and the cell-dots are more indefinite than in interpulsata (with little or no blackish ad¬ 
mixture). Described from Ceylon, known also from N. India, Penang and peninsular Siam. — cretacea Warr. 
(19 a.) is probably a race of arenosaria, though the tooth at the 3rd radial of the hindwing in some examples 
looks somewhat more pronounced. Ground-colour still whiter, cell-dots blacker, markings more macular, 
those which proximally bound the subterminal nearly always well developed between the radials and from 
the 1st median hindward. Variable, but no definite races have yet been made out. Warren described from 
Woodlark, but cretacea is now known from Dutch and British New Guinea and most of the islands N. E. and 
E. of the latter; a few specimens have even been brought from the Solomons (Choiseul and Rendova) and 
Turner has recorded it from North Queensland. — ab. lapidata Warr. has the irroration greyer, “the lines 
more distinct than usual“, but the bright median shade is obsolete, its position only vaguely indicated by an 
intensification of the grey irroration. — ab. venusta Warr. shows the opposite extreme in colouring, the median 
shade in particular, being broad and of a bright ochre from the radials hindward. Both these aberrations 
were described from St. Aignan. 
A. curtisi Prout (18 f). Forewing with termen somewhat less oblique than in the previous members 
of the section, more recalling alienaria or intortaria; hindwing less ample than in them. Apart from the differ¬ 
ences of G venation and leg-structure, distinguishable from alienaria in the whiter lower part of face, the less 
clouded (or mottled) wings, smaller cell-rings and less broad median shade. Penang (type), Selangor and 
Kedah. 
A, effeminata Prout (18 f). Broader-winged than curtisi, ground-colour somewhat deeper and somewhat 
more dulled with greyish; hindwing with cell-ring larger. Forewing beneath with more pinkish-grey suffusion, 
especially in distal area. Formosa. 
A. dithyma sp. n. Expanse 34—35 mm. Except in the simple 2-spurred hindleg almost exactly like 
obviata , even the pair of triangular vinaceous marks on the abdomen (continuing the median shade of the hind¬ 
wing) reproduced; rather more deeply and brightly ochre, cell-ring of hindwing in all three rather ample (open), 
underside rather heavily marked. Dutch W. Borneo: 85 miles above Pontianak, 2 1 $, in British Museum. 
A. perpunctulata sp. n. 24—27 mm. Structure about as in obrinaria Guen. Palpus nearly 2V times 
as long as diameter of eye. 2nd joint with suberect (forward directed) purple-red scales above, 3rd joint nearly 
as long as 2nd (perhaps %). Face whitish, narrowly reddened above. Abdomen with black dorsal dots. Colour 
whitish, with slight or very slight vinaceous tone (“tilleul-buff ” to “vinaceous-buff", Ridgway) ; markings 
blackish, conspicuous, mainly punctiform; cell-spot of forewing scarcely more than a dot, minutely pale- 
centred. of hindwing narrow,, whitish with a black dot at each end; proximal area with the maximum of dots 
(on forewing 8 or 9, on hindwing about 4) disposed as in decretaria, etc.; median shade strengthened by distal 
dashes on the veins; postmedian dots strong, that on the 2nd radial displaced proximally; distal subterminal 
also represented by vein-dashes, less intense, proximal subterminal indicated by a very faint, scarcely notice¬ 
able grey shade. Kuranda (F. P. Dodd), the type dated November 1905; 2 in the British Museum. Unless 
Turner supposed this an extremely strongly marked leptopasta, it seems to be unknown to him; it has not 
the short terminal joint of the $ palpus which characterizes Stibarostoma, but his indication “terminal joint 
2 3 second ' is also in conflict therewith; a figure of his type, however, is in colour and weak markings more 
like longidiscata. 
A. flavissima Warr. (18 f). Recognizable by its colour and its almost smooth wing-margins, the liind- 
wing not very strongly convex. Terminal joint of palpus in both sexes strongly elongate. Founded on a single 
$ from Biagi. British New Guinea; a series subsequently obtained on Mt. Goliath, including a few examples 
of — ab. ophthalsnicata Prout. The white cell-dot encircled, on both wings, by a thick black ring. Recently 
the species, in apparently identical forms, has been taken on Kinabalu, but only in the $ sex. 
A. acritophyrta West (18 d) is a rather weakly marked species, of nearly the size and shape of flavissima. 
but less warmly coloured, the vertex and the shaft of the antenna whitish; cell-marks formed about as in 
flavissima. Luzon, subprovince Benguet: the type from Baguia, a §, somewhat more reddish and with 
stronger grey shades, from Haight's Place. 
A. radiata Warr. Only known from Warren’s original, a $ from Indrulaman, Bontjiain (Celebes), at 
2300 feet. Similar in shape and coloration to intermixtaria (18 f), the wings (especially the forewing) rela¬ 
tively a little more elongate, the colour a trifle darker or duller. The most obvious distinction is in the cell- 
marks; while that of the hindwing is as in intermixtaria, that of the forewing here forms at least as large a 
ring, though not quite so sharply black-and-white. Face only narrowly white below (in intermixtaria broadly).
