ANISODES. By L. B. Prout.

seen any others from that part of New Guinea. — rothschildi Prout ( = warreni Rothsch ., nom. praeocc.) (18 i) 
is more sharply maiked, at least as regards the black outlining of the cell-spots; that of the hindwing in the 
originals is very slender and inconspicuous, that of the forewing virtually wanting. 4 <§<§ from Oetakwa River 
(including the type) are quite homogeneous, a pair from Mt. Goliath, 500 feet, a little larger and more deeply 
coloured. 
A. nigricosta Warr., also from Humboldt-Bay, shows no really rear connection with irregularis , the 
costal fold being quite differently placed and marked with black. The unique type is somewhat larger than 
the race from the Solomons (expanding fully 30 mm), has the fold longer (its. distal part less truncate, more 
oblique) and has a weaker, more broken cell-mark on the hindwing. postposita Warr (18 i) has already been 
sufficiently differentiated from name-typical nigricosta. It will be noticed that the dark parts of the costal 
fold are here brown-grey rather than black. Besides the original series from Guadalcanal I have seen postposita 
from Rendova, Vella Lavella and Bougainville and one <J from New Ireland. 
A. cristata Warr. (18 i). Larger, paler, the hindwing much more elongate, the costa of the forewing 
misshapen, the large costal fold again distinctive is shape. Range similar to that of postposita-. Bougainville, 
Tidagi (type), Guadalcanal’, Knlambangra, Gizo and Vella Lavella. 
R. Hindtibia ofc? with 2 s p u r s , femur and sometimes tibia strongly tuf¬ 
ted (Perixera Meyr.). 
A. bisecta Warr. (18 1). Very distinct in its colouring, almost straight red-tinged median line, non- 
ringed white cell-dot of hindwing and weakness of other markings. hindtibia with long red hair from proximal 
part and shortening whitish hair distally. Owen Stanley Range and Kratke Mountains, New Guinea. 
A. dimerites Prout (19 b). Leg-structure much as in bisecta. General aspect more recalling denticulata 
(19b), but with cell-spot of forewing ocellated, antemedian of hindwing obsolescent, etc.; leg-structure en¬ 
tirely different. Founded on a $ from Kinabalu, 5500 feet, 2 $9 taken with it probably also referable here, 
golialhi suhsp. nov., a from Mt. Goliath, 5000—7000 feet, February 1911, is rather snaller and paler, the 
cell-rings rather larger, especially that of the hindwing, which is clear white in its centre. Type in Tring 
Museum. A $ from Paloe, W. Celebes probably represents this or a further subspecies. 
A. subrosea Warr. (18 1). Leg-structure again similar. Variable, but always bright reddish ochreous, 
more rosy beneath. The typical form has an intermixture of grey shading on the upperside and none of the 
markings intense. The white cell-dot of the hindwing may be either minutely dark-ringed (type) or moderately 
black-ringed. — ab. nigriscripta nov. has all the transverse markings sharply expressed in black-grey, the 
black cell-ring of the fore-, as well as of the hindwing intensified and a black posterior spot on the thorax. 
All the forms occur in the original series, from Angabunga River. Other localities are known in Dutch New 
Guinea; and more recently H $$ have been collected on Kinabalu (Pendlebltry) which entirely agree, al¬ 
though the may make some unexpected revelation. 
A. sordidata Warr. (18 1). Unmistakable through its grey colour, long wings, dentate hindwing and 
punctiform black cell-marks. New Guinea, the type from Humboldt Bay. Hindfemur of <$ red-tufted; tibia 
smooth. — $-ab. grisea Warr., the only Kei Island specimen yet known, shows no difference on the upperside 
except that it is slightly paler, but has the hindwing beneath strikingly pale, only narrow costal and distal 
borders (the lather embracing the subterminal line) remaining dark. As another single $ (Mt. Riu, Sudest) 
agrees with it, I should have supposed it an island race but that a few 9$ in an Aroa River series agree ab¬ 
solutely. 
A. pictimaculis Prout (181) approaches sordidata in structure, shape and markings but is more fleshy 
in colour, the cell-spots cinnamon and (though small) not literally punctiform, the postmedian of the hindwing 
less straight. Underside mostly pale, an extended vinaceous patch on the forewing. Java (type), Bali, Malay 
Peninsula, Borneo and perhaps Tonkin. 
A. apogona sp. n. Closely similar to a broad-winged pictimaculis (18 1) and with similar structure. 
Rather larger (30—31 mm). Face with lower part purer white. Red tufts of hindtibia moderately bright. 
Antemedian dots of forewing with an additional one on the cell-fold only about 1.5 mm from the cell-spot; 
cell-spots slightly smaller than in pictimaculis ; postmedian with its dot on 2nd radial less displaced proximad, 
on the hindwing not, on the forewing scarcely at all, enlarged or strengthened; forewing beneath with the 
vinaceous shades outside the postmedian dots (i. e., the proximal subterminal) rather well developed in places, 
though interrupted in cellule 3 and sometimes in cellule 6 and weaker in posterior than in anterior half. Ivar- 
war, S. India, 29 July and 4 August 1925 (T. R. Bell), 2 and 2 $$ in the British Museum. A worn $ from 
Ceylon agress with it.
