A. rectilinea Hmps. Allied with vinata Mr. (35 b), but scarcely more than half as large, with light 
palpi, abdomen without dark dorsal marking. Prediscal and postdiscal band in the forewing less oblique, 
indistinct, submarginal line very indistinct. The black discal spot larger. Hindwing dark red-brown with an 
indistinct dark median line. Burma-.' 
A. holoxantha Grunb. (33 d). Antennae light brown; body yellow. Head and thorax with a brown 
longitudinal streak, abdominal dorsum blackish. Wings bright ochreous-vellow. Forewing with 3 parallel, 
dark brown oblique lines arranged as in vinata, a very small, red-brown discal dot and the proximal margin 
bordered with brownish-red. Bands on forewings beneath indistinct, hindwing on the whitish basal half with 
2 short, brown oblique bands proceeding from the costal margin, a broad brown median band and a submarginal 
dentate line. Sumatra. 
A. decurtata Mr. (35 b) is smaller than rosea Hmps. and the allied species, dark red-brown, especially 
the hindwing of the <$. Palpi and dorsal line across the head and thorax blackish, abdomen without a dark 
dorsal marking. The black discal spot in the forewing very small, punctiform, prediscal band rectilinear, post¬ 
discal band slightly curved, submarginal line rather indistinct. Hindwings uni-coloured. North India: Sikkim 
(Darjeeling). 
A. albigutta Wkr. (35 b). Reddish-brown, head, thorax and forewing densely intermixed with whitish 
hairs and scales. Antennal shaft whitish, palpi dark red-brown, above whitish. Forewing with a white discal 
spot, prediscal band very indistinct, postdiscal band somewhat curved, submarginal band broken up into a 
row of single, dark spots. Under surface uni-coloured red-brown (in Australian specimens) or in the forewing 
with 2 postmedian dark transverse lines, in the hindwing with an indistinct, subbasal transverse line. North 
India, in the North Western Himalaya; Australia and Tasmania. 
A. pratti B.-Bak. (35 a). Head, thorax and wings light reddish-brown, abdomen darker, palpi dark 
red-brown. Forewing thinly strewn with grey scales, in the middle with 2 parallel, rather remote, blackish 
undulate lines, on the averted sides bordered with light, the space between them particularly densely intermixed 
with grey scales. Discal spot small and indistinct, the blackish submarginal spots neither very distinct. British 
New Guinea (Ekeikei). 
A. bipartita Leech (32 c). Head and thorax light brown with a dark median streak. Abdomen red- 
brown, anal hairing lighter, forewing dark cinnamon-coloured, basal half very much intermixed with grey, less 
so the marginal half, with 3 dark brown oblique bands, the middle one more undulate and distally bordered 
with grey, the distal one darker and irregular. Hindwing dark cinnamon-coloured with a grey proximal margin. 
Marginal scales of both wings darker than the ground-colour. Under surface light brown, forewing with a reddish- 
brown costal margin and a narrow brown postdiscal band, hindwing with an irregular antemeclian transverse 
band and darker marginal part. West China: Pu-tsu-fong. 
A. formosae Wil. (32 c). Forewing reddish-yellow, the small white discal spot narrowly margined 
with black. Post-median line and veins behind it lead-coloured, like the margin; submarginal line dark, dentate. 
Hindwing reddish-brown, costal margin lighter, marginal half darker and strewn with grey scales. Under surface 
red-brown, both wings with a lighter proximal margin, marking of forewing as above, but more distinct and 
broader, hindwing with a blackish antemedian and postmedian line. Expanse 50 mm. Formosa. 
10. Genus: I*ararg’iula B.-Bak. 
Palpi rather long porrect, densely scaled, with a flat terminal joint. Antennae combed as far as the 
tips’. Forewdng rather broad, trilateral, with a uniformly rounded costal margin and a steep margin, veins 
6 and 7 forked, with 8 from the anterior cell-end, 9 and 10 forked. 11 extending close at vein 12. Hindwing 
at the costal margin and apex excised, veins 4 and 5 forked, 7 separate, no secondary cell nor secondary veins. 
Middle and posterior legs densely covered with long hair. 2 species are known. 
P. rufa B.-Bak. (46 c). $ body red-brown. Forewing bright reddish-brown with a dark discal spot 
and a dark antemedian and postmedian oblique line, the latter more strongly bevelled; dark sub marginal line 
only feebly noticeable, apex slightly scaled grey. Hindwing dark red-brown with faint traces of a dark discal 
line. Medium-sized species. British New Guinea: Kebea Range. 
P. pallens B.-Bak. (46 a as pallida). $ head and thorax light yellowish-grey, abdomen much darker. 
Forewing light yellowish-grey with a dark discal spot and a dark antemedian and postmedian oblique line, 
the latter very oblique and broken in a sharp angle below the costal margin; only faint traces of a submarginal 
line of dark spots. Apex and proximal margin with a fine dark border. Hindwing greyish-brown with a light 
yellowish-grey basal part. Medium-sized species (43 mm). British New Guinea: Kebea Range.
