ever, that the distinction is racial. This sharp-marked form occurs also in the Khasis. — javensis Warr. The 
type is a small $ from Bandong, with a small and narrow (relatively elongate) cell-ring on the hindwing, and 
may represent a race. A larger from Trettes, E. Java, however looks like a more fleshy-coloured ab. 'pallida. 
A similar form has been received from Bali. A few specimens from Tambora, Sambawa, are perhaps more 
suffused, but I do not yet venture to give them a name. 
A. subsimilis Wair. (18 g) may well be another race of the same species, larger, the cell-spots rather 
inconstant, though always small; that of the forewing shows a tendency to become irregularly ocellated; that 
of the hindwing sometimes shows a black dot, indeed in the type specimen the ring appears to be replaced by 
a black dot; lines never intense. Celebes. 
A. privata Walk, is one of Walker's (unfortunately numerous) worn $ types and although I have 
examined it repeatedly I am not yet confident about it. Areole wanting, the stalk of the subcostals arising 
rather early, tlie palpus about as in decretaria, to the group of which it manifestly belongs. Possibly a large 
specimen of that species (expanse about 28 mm), the black dots on the postmedian almost obsolete (indicated 
in red where not too rubbed), the cell-ring of the hindwing large; underside fairly strongly marked. Sarawak. 
Another possibility is that it might be a discoloured pictimaculis, though it is hard to reconcile it. 
A. pyrrhocrica Prout (19 g). Structure again similar to that of decretaria, etc. and with the same general 
scheme of markings. Best characterized by the bright orange cell-ring of the hindwing, with small pale yellow 
centre. Described from Mt. Murud, Sarawak, known also from other mountains in Borneo and from Pahang 
and Singapore. 
A. mesocupha sp. n. represents pyrrhocrica on Amboina. 30 mm. Smoother-looking, ground-colour 
somewhat more reddish, irroration much slighter and greyer; median and subterminal shades obsolescent; 
cell-ring of hindwing smaller. 1 $ i n Tring Museum (Doherty). 
A. rubrisecta Warr., a $ from Kei Islands, is, I now suspect, a remarkable ab. of obrinaria, but the 
hindwing looks somewhat more convex-margined. Larger, the cell-ring of the hindwing sharply black, both 
wings with the median shade strong, brown-re d. 
A. festiva Warr. (18 h). An attractive species, with its grey ground-colour and purplish admixture in 
the markings, these latter strongly expressed. The composite cell-mark of the hindwing (reddish with white 
pupil and dark-grey ring) varies in size and strength; otherwise there is little variation. British and Dutch 
New Guinea. 
A. subalbescens Warr. (18 h).' Paler and without purplish tinge, the grey more inclining towards yel¬ 
lowish, markings much weaker, cell-ring of hindwing small and simple. Underside of forewing terminally and 
posteriorly and of hindwing wholly whitish. Face white in lower half, in upper half blackish (J) or greyish 
($). British New Guinea. $ a good deal larger than the figured <$. 
A. exaucta Warr. (18 k). Variable in size (not sexually), but generally larger than subalbata; longer- 
winged, more ochreous, antemedian sharply dotted on the veins, a black dot on the cell-fold making an acute 
triangle with the (elongate) subcostal and (simple) median dots. Cell-ring of hindwing variable in size, its 
centre more ochre than the ground-colour. Owen Stanley Range (loc. typ.) and Mt. Goliath. — ab. maculata 
nov. has a large dark-brown blotch behind the proximal half of the 1st median and the 2nd submedian; also, 
but on forewing only, weaker maculation between the radials, in line with the posterior blotch. Mount Goliath. 
1 $, together with typical 9$- 
A. colysirrhachia sp. n. (18 k). Expanse 28 mm. In markings like a diminutive exaucta, in colour of 
upperside slightly more pinkish-tinged than subalbata. Underside of the fore wing distinctive: the greater part 
(costa to median and its branches; base to well beyond postmedian line) evenly suffused with flesh-colour, the 
narrow distal area contrastingly whitish, with large dark interneural dots at termen. Dutch New Guinea: near 
Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, up to 3500 feet, type \ Mount Goliath, 500 feet, February 1911, 2 all 
collected for the Tring Museum by A. S. Meek. 
A. tenuilinea Warr. (18 k). Only known from 2 C j6', neither perfectly fresh, the type from Guadalcanal - , 
the second from S. Christoval. Face white in lower half, dull deep red in upper. Palpus with 3rd joint not 
quite so long as in the preceding group. Median and (especially) postmedian line more regular; antemedian 
of hindwing more evenly curved, the black dots on median and submedian veins strengthened. Underside 
whitish, with a weakened postmedian and terminal dots; forewing with a red flush proximally and anteriorly, 
strongest and brightest at base of costa, in and beyond cell somewhat duller and more greyish.
