Forewing with two small whitish, red-edged ocelli and a red mark near the apex of the wing. Hindwing with 
two black spots corresponding to the ocelli of the forewing, and with a red streak along the posterior margin 
towards the apex. Expanse of wings: 43 mm. The 9 is grey, with a very faint reddish hue. Wings with a 
reddish oblique band which is outside accompanied by a series of blackish spots. Forewing with a few reddish 
marks near the costal margin and with two white, black-edged discal spots. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Tasmania, 
Australia (New South Wales). 
A. hamata Wkr. (= latifera Wkr.) (56 B e). $ light fawn-coloured. Wings with a broad brownish hamata. 
oblique band extending from 4 / 5 °f the costal margin of the forewing to the centre of the posterior margin 
of the hindwing and enclosing a row of light spots and being inside bordered by a narrow dark brown band which 
is outside edged with a reddish yellow. Forewing falcate, with a rather broad, zigzag-shaped, light brown band 
at Y 3 of the length; this band is quite indistinct in the hindwing. A small brown discal spot is present. Expanse 
of wings: 79% mm. $ (= uvaria Wkr.) shows a slight purple hue, with a brown, anteriorly pale purple head and also 
somewhat differently marked wings which have an expanse of only 67 mm. Australia (Sydney, Moreton Bay). 
- The larva lives solitary on Eucalyptus from March till June, and attains a length of up to 86 mm; it is 
below smooth and jet-black, but above densely haired, the hairing of the 3rd to 11th segments being short and 
red, but laterally blackened, the posterior margin of each segment exhibits besides 5 purely white long hair- 
pencils, and before them there are round yellow protuberances. The 3 anterior and 2 posterior segments are 
much more densely and longer haired, so that nothing is to be seen of the tegument and the anterior and anal 
ends are only recognizable when the larva is moving. The imagines fly from the middle of February. 
A. sydneyensis sp. nov. (46 g). Forewing pale creamy with black markings, namely: a narrow subbasal sydneyen- 
transverse band extending only between the costal margin and the centre of the basal area and being almost 
vertically directed towards the costal margin, and an almost twice as broad, very irregular, midway very 
narrow, antemedian (almost median) transverse band; these two bands run almost straight; a third band is 
postmedian (or sublimbal), parallel to the distal margin and divided by the ground-colour into two likewise 
almost linear bands, the exterior of which is twice or oftener interrupted and in some places expanded like a 
spot. Fringe of the ground-colour. Hindwing blackish-grey. Under surface of both wings grey with black, 
irregular and blurred spots; two on the costal margin, two in the posterior half of the marginal area, and a 
small discocellular spot; hindwing with 2 or 3 patches, head and thorax like the ground-colour of the forewing, 
palpi, frons, eyes, edges of the eyes, and metadorsum black. Pectinations reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 
48 mm. Vein 8 of hindwing connected with 7 by a bar. Sydney (Coll. Seitz in the Senckenberg Museum at 
Frankfort). 
A. repleta Wkr. rusty reddish-brown, palpi below red. Antennae whitish brownish-yellow with repleta. 
reddish-yellow pectinations. Wings with two narrow, oblique, brownish-yellow transverse bands which are 
composed of crescentiform spots and partly bordered with black. Near the base an irregular black band. Forewing 
with two small white, black-edged discal spots and two brownish-yellow marks between the interior ocellus 
and the base of the wing. Expanse of wings: 53—61 mm. A female form is reddish-yellow, the bands of 
the wings are broader and more distinct, the discal ocelli larger (f. repletana form. nov.). —- Tasmania. repletana. 
A. cinerascens Wkr. (46 g). 9 red-grey, with brownish-yellow antennae. Wings with three indistinct dnerascens 
blackish bands, forewing with two white, black-edged ocelli. Abdomen extending to % of the width of the 
hindwing. Antennae very much longer than thorax. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. - cervineila form. nov. is more cervinella. 
fawn-coloured, the wings with a rather broad red band and an exterior row of black spots. Fore wing with a 
white, black-edged ocellus. — Tasmania. 
A. obscura Wkr. (58 b) $ greyish-brown. Head and legs partly rusty reddish. Antennae whitish with obscura. 
blackish pectinations. Thorax blackish-brown. Forewing with two narrow blackish, zigzag oblique bands, the 
inside of the first and the outside of the second being yellow. Hindwing with a brown band corresponding to 
the exterior band of the forewing. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. — According to Walker the type is from an 
unknown patria, whereas Swinhoe states it to be from Australia; apparently no other specimen is known. 
A. connexa Wkr. 9- Dark fawn-coloured. Wings with three black oblique bands, the second of which connexa. 
is narrower than the first and spot-shaped and on the hindwing less distinct, whereas the third is submarginal 
and broader than the first. Forewing with two white, black-ringed discal ocelli which are connected by two 
black lines. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. — The <$ (= fervens Wkr.) is of a rusty reddish colour. — Tasmania. - 
zonata Flclr. (57 a) is mentioned by Swinhoe as a synonym of connexa, but if the descriptions resp. figures of sonata.
