A. symphona A. J. Trnr. §: head and palpi ochreous brown. Antennae white. Thorax grey, in front symphona. 
ochreous brownish. Abdomen light grey. Forewing dark grey, blackish towards the base, a broad whitish 
costal streak from the base to the apex, traversed by three dark transverse lines, a distally convex whitish 
transverse line at x / 5 , a more distinct white line from % of the costa, a parallel whitish line from 5 / 6 of the costa 
to % of the interior margin, a row of indistinctly darker terminal spots; fringe whitish. Hindwing with a free 
rib 8, light grey, with indistinct whitish transverse lines at x / 3 and %, fringe whitish. $ 54 mm. Hobart 
(Tasmania). 
A. achromata A. J. Trnr. whitish-grey. Palpi reddish-brown, at the tips ochreous. Pectinations achromata. 
of the whitish antennae dark ochreous. Forewing with a reddish costal margin, with a distally convex dark 
antemedian line which is sometimes broken up into spots and extends from 3 / 5 of the costa to l / 3 of the interior 
margin, a similar postmedian line from 4 / 5 of the costa to 2 / 3 of the inner margin, a distinct dark discal spot, 
fringe of the same colour. In the hindwing vein 8 is connected with the cell by a bar; colouring and marking 
as in forewing, though without the antemedian line and discal spot, $ 34—40 mm. North Queensland. 
A. nicothoe Bsd. (= adusta Wkr., australasiae H,-Schdff.) (36 c as australasiae). $ fawn-coloured, palpi nicothoe. 
partly blackish, antennae brownish-yellow. Wings with three black bands, the antemedian one being broadest 
and strongly curved, in the hindwing anteriorly blurred, the second extends postmedianly in the fore wing, 
almost medianly in the hindwing, being distally bordered with red and composed of small crescentiform spots, 
the third extends almost midway between the second and the margin and is proximally dentate. In the fore wing 
two light discal spots with darker borders. Expanse of wings: 86 mm. A rusty reddish brown. Head in front 
black. The discal spots on both wings are lightest below. Expanse of wings: 65 mm. Tasmania; Australia 
(Swan River). 
A. ochroptera Lore. $ 55 mm. Allied with D. ocellata Wkr. (46 c). Body and legs pale whitish ochreous; ochroptera. 
thorax below brownish. Abdominal segments brown. Antennae white, pectinations about 12. Forewing 
triangular, costal margin feebly indented, distal margin very roundish, rather oblique; light whitish-ochreous 
with brown markings; a small brown basal spot; a curved thick line from below the costa at % to the posterior 
margin at l / 3 , in front bordered with a darker colour; a blackish oblong-oviform discal spot at x / 3 and another, 
transverse, white-centred spot at %, both before the median longitudinal line; a narrow brown line from 2 / 3 
of the costal margin to % of the inner margin, strongly distally curved near the costal margin, and beginning 
from the discal spot almost straight; a broad brown shadow directly outside it, posteriorly intensely bordered 
with a darker colour, with a sharply marked line of the ground-colour between the two lines. Fringe light 
ochreous. Hindwing as forewing, with a rounded distal margin, towards the base strongly brown-hairecl; a 
moderately large square spot of brown hairs indicates the discal spot; the lines of the forewing are feebly 
indicated: a brown, strongly dentate line from y 3 of the costal margin to x / 3 of the posterior margin; 
fringe as in forewing. Under surface coloured and marked as the forewing, the first line is absent. Hindwing 
with two sharply white-centred discal spots. Australia, Cootanoorina; in June. 
A. linearis T. P. Luc. body, palpi and antennae light cinnamon-brown; forewing of the same linearis. 
colouring and glossy, with scattered black dots and 7 or 8 straight, transverse, smoky brown lines and bands, 
a deep smoke-coloured band from % of the costal margin to 4 / 5 of the posterior margin is anteriorly narrowly 
bordered by orange-brown. Hindwing as forewing, though not glossy, with three smoke-coloured transverse 
bands or lines and a sublimbal row of black punctiform spots at the veins. 60 mm. Mackay (Australia). 
A. succinea T. P. Luc. body, antennae and palpi amber-coloured, legs blackish brown. Forewing succinea. 
amber-coloured with a smoke-coloured, blurred transverse line at % of the length of the wing, a similarly 
coloured discal spot and a similar sublimbal notched line; between the latter and the preceding line a straight 
red transverse line. All the fringes ochreous brown. Hindwing as forewing, but only the second smoke-coloured 
line is distinctly marked. 65—90 mm. Victoria (Australia). 
A. scortea T. P. Luc. Head, antennae, thorax and abdomen chamois-coloured or (in the J) ochreous scorlea. 
brown. Palpi and legs of <$ blackish-brown, of $ chamois. Forewing chamois (^) or somewhat ochreous (£) 
with 4 smoke-coloured transverse lines the two discal ones of which are notched and the penultimate line besides 
posteriorly bordered with red; in the second line from the base there is a dark discal spot and a more distinct 
similar one is opposite x / 3 of the costa. Fringe reddish-brown. Hindwing as forewing, the two median lines 
extending from % of the costa almost to the first line in about the middle of the posterior margin. $ 62, 
$ 82 mm. — Allied with A. succinea, but the transverse lines are different etc. — New South Wales. 
A. ocellata Wkr. (46 c). Light brown, beneath fawn. Head and thorax in front yellowish-red. Antennae ocellala. 
white with black pectinations. Palpi fawn, outside black. Forewing with two black discal spots in a longitudinal 
line; beyond the centre a whitish, slightly undulating band, between the latter and the margin there is a row
