A. flavipuncta Humps. (8 c). First pair of spurs of the hindtibia at 2 /3 of the tibia. Antenna 
without yellow spot. The 8. radial and 1. median of the hindwing stalked or at least arising close together. 
Abdomen in cf and ? ringed, or in the ? almost entirely black. The yellow markings of the wings much 
smaller in the cf than in the $; forewing with 2 streaks at the base and 2 spots placed obliquely to one 
another in the distal half. — Assam. 
A. quadrisignata Snell, resembles the ? of flavipunda, but has less yellow on the hindwing. — 
Java. Piepers found the larva in West Java on a plant called by the natives Dawon-oundjek, perhaps 
Pittosporum or Caryodaphne densiflora. 
A. trisignata Snell. (8b). Abdomen above black, beneath yellowish white. Markings of the fore¬ 
wing as in the preceding, but the posterior basal streak is wanting and the posterior distal spot is placed 
more proximally and is wedge-shaped; hindwing black, with grey mesial streak. — Java; the larva on the 
same plant as quadrisignata. If Snellen did not expressly state that he had both sexes of tri- and quadri¬ 
signata before him, I should unhesitatingly treat the two insects (which are not known to me in nature) as 
cf and ? of one species. 
A. sikkitnensis Elw. Similar to the ¥ of flavipunda; hindwing with yellow longitudinal patch in the 
middle; abdomen beneath yellowish. — Sikkim, found in July, at an altitude of about 12,000 ft.; coll. Elwes. 
A. quadrimaculata Moore (8c). Forewing above with roundish yellow spot on the disc; a longitudinal 
patch of the same colour, distally widened as in discivitta, on the hindwing. Fringes yellow; the 3. radial 
and the 1. median of the hindwing stalked, as almost always in broad-winged species. — North-West India. 
A. postalba Elw. Abdomen above black, beneath yellowish. Forewing above with 4 yellow spots, 
placed as in zebra. Hindwing with grey-white median streak. Fringes blackish. — Sikkim, at an elevation 
of about 12,000 ft.; coll. Elwes. 
A. postvitta Moore (8c). Unicolorous black; hindwing with white median streak and white fringes. 
Legs ringed with white. — Calcutta; according to Moore also in Sikkim. 
A. sythoffi Snell. (8 c). Brown-black. Antenna and middle of frons pale yellow, as also the base 
of the collar, the breast, legs and underside of the abdomen. Wings unicolorous; the fringes grey. Hind¬ 
wing beneath with yellow patch. The antennae of the a* are said to be simply filiform (Snellen), which 
can scarcely be correct. — West Java, 15 —1600 m. 
A. chorista spec. nov. (8c). ¥: body, antenna, palpus and legs greenish blue, metallic, but only 
slightly glossy. Proboscis yellow. Wings above purple-brown, the forewing with very slight metallic sheen; 
fringes paler. Under surface unicolorous grey-brown, with slight greenish tinge. The 3. radial and 
1. median of the hindwing stalked or from a point. — Khasia Hills, Assam. 
A. lugubris spec. nov. (8c). a*?: body above purple-brown, slightly blue; underside of the head, 
the breast (with the exception of the middle), the abdomen beneath, the coxae and femora, partly also the 
underside of the tibiae and tarsi yellow, sides of the frons, underside of the 1. segment of the antenna and 
middle of the frontal prominence likewise yellow. Wings above purple-brown, forewing somewhat bluish 
like the body; fringes grey. Under surface grey-brown, hindwing darker; a costal streak near the base of 
the forewing, a similar one behind the middle of the hindwing and a third in the cell of the hindwing 
yellow. The 3. radial and the 1. median of the hindwing arising close together or stalked. — Khasia Hills, Assam. 
A. microstigma spec. nov. (8c). Similar to cyclops Stgr. (vol. II, pi. 3d). Upperside of the bodj' 
and of the wings purple-brown, slightly metallic. Head, with the exception of the broad middle part, the 
whole underside of the body and the femora yellow. Antenna from beyond the middle nearly to the tip 
pale yellow. Forewing above with yellow stigma; fringes of both wings grey-white; hindwing in the middle 
from the base to the cell more thinly scaled, therefore appearing greyish here. Under surface with yellow 
markings; on the forewing a stigma and before this at the costa a similar spot, which is contiguous with 
a long costal streak; hindwing with costal streak from the base to the apex and a shorter streak behind 
it. The 3. subcostal and 1. median of the hindwing from a point or short-stalked, the angle of the cell 
produced into a point. — Both sexes from the Khasia Hills, Assam. 
A. flavigula Hamps. (8c). Body above glossy green-blue, underside as well as the middle and 
hind femora yellow. Forewing above in the basal third bronze-green, in the middle blue, distally almost 
black; a small yellowish stigma; hindwing in the basal third glossy blue, inclusive of the whole abdominal 
margin; fringes white. Beneath both wings metallic, with the exception of the apical part to the extremity 
of the cell, especially the hindwing glossy; a white stigma on both wings, the hindwing in addition with 
a white cell-patch. The 1. median and 3. radial of the hindwing stalked. — Khasia Hills. 
A. catoxantha Hamps. Body and wings above blackish olive-colour; frons, palpus, underside of the bodj' 
and the legs yellow, a spot in the middle of the frons blackish. Antenna short. Under surface of the wings
