of black spots parallel with the band, and beyond the wings are lighter and with an indistinct row of brown 
spots. Beneath without a band, the spots usually white-pupilled. Hindwing above with more or less blurred 
spots, beneath they are very distinct and white-pupilled. $ with a greyish hue. Forewing along the costal 
margin whitish, along the termen grey, the spots with white pupils. Expanse of wings: 37—69 mm. — Some¬ 
times the whole insect is fawn in both sexes, excepting the spots and bands of the wings (= dama form, nov.\. - 
Another form is light fawn, the head, prothorax, and the costal area of the forewing white, the wings with two 
indistinct whitish, slightly undulating discal bands, the forewing with two white, brown-edged ocelli; the 
hindwing above with a brown spot, beneath with two white, brown edged ocelli (= tasnianiensis form. nov.). - 
tetrophthalma H.-Schdff. is light fawn with a pale greyish yellow costal and terminal area, in the cell with 3 
jet-black spots longitudinally arranged, in the dorsal area a smaller black spot and a jet-black, distally light- 
edged postmedian transverse line which is strongly convex towards the margin. Hindwing with a light marginal 
area. All the wings beneath with a dark transverse band which is not present in the dorsal area, as well as two 
black, white-centred cellular sjDots. — Forma dama is reported from Tasmania and Australia, the others only 
from Tasmania. — The cocoon of A. ocellata is described by Tepper in: ,,Garden and Field“ 14, p. 25 (1888). 
A. curanda Strd. sp. 7iov. (46 c). $ the most closely allied to A. ocellata (46 c). Forewing dirty greyish- 
brown with 4 hazy and indistinct blackish narrow transverse bands the two distal ones of which are parallel 
to the margin, equidistant from each other and from the latter, and sharply broken in a zigzag shape. The 
median band begins on the centre of the costal margin, extending at first almost vertically to the margin, then 
rectangularly broken in area 5, from where it runs almost parallel with the distal margin to the inner margin. 
The discocellular spot is deep black, transversal, crescentiform, towards the margin concavely curved and 
edged with rusty yellowish. A similar though smaller and longitudinally placed spot in the cell and a small 
black punctiform spot near the base. Hindwing grey, in the marginal area a bit lighter with a blackish disco- 
cellular punctiform spot. Under surface of both wings uniformly grey with a small blackish discocellular spot, 
in the forewing besides with a similar small spot in the centre of the cell. Expanse of wings: 53; length of 
wings: 24; length of body: 22 mm. Kuranda (Queensland). 
A. uniformis Swh. Reddish fawn with a yellowish antennal shaft and brown pectinations. Forewing 
and body slightly darker than hindwing. Forewing with a white spot in the centre of the cell and another one 
at the end of it. Forewing beneath with a white spot at the end of the cell and a larger similar one at the 
end of the hindwing. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Queensland. 
A. niphomacula Low. is presumably not specifically different from uniformis. Described as follows: 
$ 46 mm. Body, palpi, and legs dull reddish carmine. Antennae carmine-whitish, 10 pectinations, dark brown. 
Forewing oblong-triangular, termen almost straight; dull carmine-brownish, a whitish spot in the cell at y 3 
of the length of the wing, and a similar spot at the end of the cell, both indistinctly edged with brown; fringe 
reddish ochreous. Hindwing coloured as fore wing, the basal two thirds lighter and somewhat ochreous, fringe 
as in forewing. Hindwing beneath with a single white, dark-edged spot at the end of the cell. — Allied with 
A. rubescens Wkr. (56 C e) though at once discernible by the white spots. — Duaringa (Queensland); in November. 
A. callispila Low. 46 mm. Head and thorax ochreous brown, face ochreous-, palpi above brown, 
below ochreous. Antennae whitish, with 10 pectinations of dark brown colour. Abdomen ochreous brown, 
anal brush ochreous. Legs ochreous brown. Forewing oblong-triangular with a rounded margin; dark ochreous 
brown, with fine ochreous hair-scales along the costal margin; markings snow-white, very distinct; a moderately 
large elliptic spot at the anterior edge of the cell, a large round spot at the posterior end of the cell; fringe 
yellowish ochreous. Hindwing with an almost straight margin; coloured as forewing; at the posterior end of 
the cell a not very distinct white spot; fringe as in forewing. Forewing beneath of a brighter ochre colour, 
especially in the cell, spots as above. Hindwing similarly coloured, but with another round white spot in the 
cell at 1 / 6 of the length of the wing. The species is characterized by the white spots on the ochreous ground. 
Broken Hill (New South Wales); in April. 
A, inomata Wkr. $ light yellow. Palpi and prolegs rusty reddish. Antennae brownish yellow. Wings 
with a band of black spots which are indistinct and very small. Fore wing with two small black discal spots. 
Expanse of wings 57 mm. Swan R. in Australia. 
A. subfalcata Wkr. (56 Q f) $ light fawn-coloured. Palpi above black. Antennae below golden yellow 
with brownish-yellow pectinations. Abdomen above reddish-yellow, excepting the base. Wings with a narrow 
oblique red band extending from 2 3 of the costal margin to the centre of the posterior margin of the hindwing, 
and with an exterior row of red spots; near the base of each wing a very much interrupted reddish band.
