forewing being accompanied by a dark spot at the hindmargin. Pectinations of antenna moderate. 2nd sub¬ 
costal of forewing (as also in acutaria) arising from the cell. Central and W. China. 
C. inaequata Warr. (20 e). On an average decidedly less large than bimaculata , though the measure¬ 
ment given by Warren (“36 mm") refers only to his type, which is unfortunately a small aberration and has 
the 2nd subcostal connate with the 3rd—5th, whereas in the many well-sized specimens which I have examined 
it nearly always arises from the cell. Slightly darker than bimaculata, more tinged with ochreous, pectinations 
shorter (about 3, as against 4 or 5, in terms of diameter of shaft), forewing slightly less produced apically. 
Khasis and (much more rarely) Darjiling. Postmedian spots generally stronger than in bimaculata. but variable. 
- ab. immaculata nov. Spots narrowed and very faint, so that the form resembles the most feebly marked 
bimaculata. Khasis, a perfect in the Tring Museum. 
C. bimaculata Warr. ( = bipunctata Warr.) (20 e). Forewing with 2nd subcostal short-stalked to rather 
long-stalked; further distinctions have been noticed under inaequata. Khasis. 
C. pallivittata Moore (= rectata Walk., MS.) (20 e). Antennal pectinations longer and continuing a 
little further down the shaft; 2nd subcostal of forewing stalked, usually long-stalked. Differs from the two 
preceding in its brown tone, the absence, with rare exceptions, of the conspicuous postmedian spots, the different 
median shade of the hindwing, etc. Kumaon to the Khasis. 
C. persirnilis Warr. (Vol. 4, pi. 7 a). Much greyer than the north-eastern species, the markings simpler, 
the post median punctiform, but conspicuous. Antennal pectinations not or scarcely longer than in acutaria 
and inaequata ; 2nd subcostal of forewing from the cell, near its end. Known from a number of localities in the 
N. W. Himalayas.

(See Vol. 16, p. 60.) 
Characters nearly as in the Problepsiodes section of Problepsis, i. e. the antenna ciliate, more or less 
definitely in fascicles, the 3 with spurless, tufted liindtibia, that of the $ with 4 spurs, the areole simple, etc. 
Differs essentially in the pattern and in the dentate wing-margins and often has, in the well-developed ab¬ 
dominal tufts laterally. Indo-Australian and African. Genitalia altogether Scoptola-like ; valves, at least in the 
genotype divisaria, extremely asymmetrical. 
A. cuneilinea Walk. (20 f). A relatively simple species in shape (distal margins not dentate); lateral tufts 
of the abdomen moderate. Base of abdomen beneath in the <$ and anal extremity in the $ with special cinna¬ 
mon-buff scaling. The shape of the antemedian line and the cuneiform subterminal are characteristic. S. India. 
Burma, Siam and the Malay Peninsula, seldom common, the only extensive series which I have seen coming 
from the Nilgiris. In Ceylon “very rare except in dry low' country" (G. Alston, in lit.). 
A. agrata Feld. (= restricta Warr., M. S.) (20 f) has the blackish-green markings less ample than in 
divisaria, the white parts more suffused with vinaceous, the wings beneath, excepting the subterminal band, 
not (as in divisaria) suffused with fuscous or blackish. A frequent venational variation, both in this species 
and d. divisaria, is the loss of the areole, through the failure of the 1st subcostal to anastomose with the others. 
Typical agrata, from Celebes, is a rather small race, usually with a rather broad subterminal band beneath, 
vicina Th.-Mieg. Green spots somewhat more extended; subterminal band beneath narrow. N. India, especially 
the Khasis (loc. typ.); forms from S. China and Borneo may probably be united with it. 
A. parvimacula. Probably nothing but a further series of races of agrata from Melanesia, but it will, 
I believe, be more conducive to clearness if we deal with them for the present as a separate unit. Forewing with 
postmedian somewhat more curved, reaching the hindmargin less near the tornus than in vicina-, spot in base 
of cell nearly always small or wanting; postmedian green spot outside the discocellulars rarely much, if at all, 
produced outward anteriorly, in most of the forms reduced. Hindwing with the postmedian strongly sinuous. 
Underside with the dark subterminal band narrow; on the forewing beginning in a point at costa and gradually 
widening to tornus; on the hindwing the reverse (sometimes even vanishing in posterior part). In vicina this 
band is less narrow on the hindwing and broadens in the middle thereof, on the forewing. The types of all the 
forms are in the Tring Museum. parvimacula Warr. (20 e). Of this, the name-typical race. I know only the 
3 originals (1 2 9$), from the Trobriand Islands and the 2 9$ are discoloured; but a good series from the 
Louisiades shows so much in common with them that I do not hesitate to xrnifce them. Size of vicina or little 
larger, perhaps relatively a trifle broader-winged; subbasal spot behind cell and median spots narrowed, the 
one outside the discocellular notably narrowed, indented or bisected at the 1st radial. Hindwing with the spot 
just inside the discocellulars more strongly narrowed than the one just outside. 9$ rather deeply suffused with
