A. griseata Warr. (18 k). The most widely distributed of the section and easy to recognize by its oblique 
median shade, the very narrow cell-mark of the hindwing and the strongly elongate 2nd joint of the palpus, 
crested with stiff backward-directed hair. Already known from Malaya, Siam, Formosa, Java, Bali, Celebes, 
Amboina, Kei, N. Queensland (loc. typ.), Fergusson, Dampier and Witu (= French Island). Mr. F. P. Dodd 
bred it from Ficus glomerata in Queensland. - belgaumensis subsp. nov. (19 b). On the whole rather broad- 
winged, at least as regards the hindwing, which in the A shows a tendency towards an elongation of the ab¬ 
dominal margin and a slightly more wavy (in anterior half almost cremdate) distal margin. Colour constantly 
(in a series of 12) more (orange-) brown than in the name-typical form. S. India: Belgaum (T. R. Bell); type 
in the British Museum. 
A. longidiscata Warr. (= pulverat.a Warr.) (18 1). Structure of griseata, with which Dr. Turner unites 
it. Palpus of J less dark-marked. Forewing with termen less oblique, colour paler, markings shadowy, median 
shade broad. Hindwing with similar distinctions; cell-streak whiter. Underside still more faintly marked. 
Townsville, Queensland. 
A. furcata Warr. (18 k). Similar to griseata in structure, the hair on the 2nd joint of the palpus denser. 
Extremely distinct in coloration and not at all variable. British New Guinea (type from Moroka, 3500 feet); 
Arfak Mountains and Ysabel Island. 
A. nebulosata Wall :. (18 1). Until recently, the of this Anisodes was unknown to systematists and 
the correct systematic position unsuspected. It proves, however, to be quite near to griseata. Markings more 
cloudy, distally macular. Ceylon. 
A. leptopasta Turn. Turner differentiates this from the other Stibarostoma in which the ground¬ 
colour is white ( turneri ) by the <J palpus, which is longer (2 as against 1 y 2 ), the “2nd joint moderate, rough- 
haired above, smooth beneath, terminal joint % second". The wings have the fuscous irroration more purplish, 
the cell-dot of the forewing obsolete, the median shade faint, grey. Cell-spot of hindwing blackish, sometimes 
with white centre, rarely obsolete. North Queensland: Cairns and Kuranda. 
N. A s L. 2 b u t w i t li 2nd a n cl 3rd joints of<J palpus quite short ( Xenoprora Warr.). 
A. samoana Warr. (19 b). The few known examples are in inferior condition, but recognizable. Wings 
rather elongate and narrow, the forewing with the median shade about as oblique as in griseata , the hindwing 
with cell-mark formed about as in ampligwtta. Palpus of J upeurved, 2nd joint short, smooth below, densely 
clothed above, 3rd joint very small. The only A which I have seen is somewhat more yellowish than the 
following form and shows on the forewing beneath, at and in front of the end of the cell, a roundish patch of 
dense, somewhat specialized scaling. Samoa and (perhaps a different race) Society Islands. - parallela Warr. 
(19 b). On the whole larger and relatively less narrow-winged, the tinge more fleshy, the markings on an 
average stronger. Palpus the same, but I have found no indication of specialized scaling on the forewing 
beneath. Possibly a separate species, but fresh specimens are still a desideratum. Loyalty Islands: Lifu. I 
have referred here also a few examples from Fiji. 
O. As N but in addition with a contorted area o n t h e J forewing ( Emmesura 
Warr.). 
A. illcpidaria Guen. (= semicompleta Walk., immemoraria Walk., strictaria Snell.) (18 i). The hair- 
pencil which arises from the upperside of the contorted patch on the forewing cannot be overlooked and se¬ 
parates the J at a glance. The §, on which Guenee founded his illepidaria, is much more indefinite, but I be¬ 
lieve the determination is correct. Not common in India, much more so in Malaysia and Hainan and extending 
to Formosa, the Philippines, Celebes and Bali. The earliest two types came from Sarawak, immemoraria from 
Java, strictaria from Celebes. 
P. A s L. 2 b u t with the costa o f t h e J forewing forming a large fold benea t h 
(Crypsiplocia Warr.). 
A. pulvinaris Warr. (18 i). Wings elongate in the J, typically with the cell-ring of the hindwing oval, 
somewhat ochreous within. Rare in the Solomons, having been taken singly on Guadalcanar (the type), Ysabel, 
Choiseul and Treasury besides, one merely labelled “Solomons (Woodford)", perhaps from Tulagi. Besides, 
I have seen a from Vulcan I. and a pair from Dampier, perhaps rather less narrow-winged, but allowing it 
to be asserted that the sexes are alike in colour and markings. 
Q. As L2 but with the costa of the ^ forewing irregularly folded above 
(Plocucha Warr.). 
A. irregularis Warr. In colour and markings not dissimilar to pulvinaris, but rather broa d-winged, 
the termen of the forewing little oblique. The original pair came from Humboldt Bay and I have not yet
