veins 3 and 4, and a smaller one on vein 1; subterminal line indicated by small vein-dots; in the cell a small 
dark and grey spot, a larger one at the upper end of the discocellular and a large round one with a grey 
centre at the upper end; the latter is invariably larger in the $. Hindwing similar. Under surface yellowish, 
the dark cellular spots recognisable, the marginal area behind a curved dark line which is not marked above 
darker. Sikkim. 
A. magnadiscata sp. nov. (49 h). Fore wing brownish fawn-coloured, the lines slightly darker than 
in discispilaria', before the proximal line 2 darker ones; markings as in discispilaria, but the spot at the lower 
cell-angle is invariably larger, with a grey centre, and the small black veins are very distinct in fine black rings. 
In darker specimens the marginal line and the bases of the fringes blackish. Hindwing like the forewing, only 
the discal spot still larger, the under surface brownish yellow; the cellular spot is black and prominent; the 
marginal area is scarcely darker. Sikkim. At once recognisable by the lighter purer ground-colour and larger 
discal spots. 
A. vinacea Mr. (49 h). Head, thorax, and abdomen dark violettish-grey; forewing reddish-brown, 
in the proximal and distal areas suffused with violet. A double oblique line from near the apex to beyond 
the centre of the hind-margin, and before the distal margin an indistinct undulating line. Hindwing intensely 
suffused with violet ; the double line is medianly situate. Traces of 2 subterminal lines. Under surface ochreous 
with a spot at the cell-end on both wings; behind the oblique line of the forewing violet spots; hindwing with 
a curved median line. Darjeeling (Sikkim). 
A. reversaria Wkr. Forewing mouse-coloured, beneath somewhat lighter, wings with a straight rust- 
coloured line extending from the apex of the forewing to the centre of the hind-margin on the hindwing. 
Two distal dark brown lines, interrupted and indistinct, the second sharply angled below the costal margin. 
Fringes rust-coloured. Forewing also with 2 indistinct dentate dark brown lines, a proximal and a median 
one. Type from Sumatra; one specimen in the British Museum from Borneo. 
A. muscularia Wkr. (49 h). Forewing violettish-grey, costal margin reddish-yellow; the proximal and 
distal lines are darker, undulating; subterminal line indistinct; in the lower half of the marginal area a dull 
claret-coloured cloud; a dark spot at the upper end of the discocellular and a whitish dot at the lower end. 
Hindwing with the two darker lines and a white spot at the lower cell-angle; the whole marginal area shows 
a didl claret-coloured hue. Under surface glossy light grey, costa of forewing reddish; face dark brown, collar 
yellowish-red. Sikkim (North India). 
A. orphnina Hmps. (49 e) is like muscularia Wkr. from Sikkim, but invariably smaller and generally 
darker; from the Naga and Khasia Hills in Assam. — A lighter aberration of this form is subpallida ab. nov. 
(49 e, f); in the $ the ground-colour is only feebly lighter than in typical orphnina, but the $ is uni-coloured 
quite light mouse-coloured, the lines and stigmata quite indistinct. In both sexes the fringes are yellowish 
with a dark line close at their base. Like the typical form from the Khasia Hills. 
A. opalescens Warr. (49 f). Forewing light or dark mouse-coloured, the costal margin towards the 
apex rusty brown, the lines chocolate brown; the proximal line indistinctly vertically undulated; the distal 
line towards the distal margin acute-angular, then obliquely inwards and towards the hind-margin thickened; 
the apex is dark. A dark oblique line from the apex touches the distal line at the angle and is then continued 
as a fine line to the hind-margin; the subterminal line is indicated by a vertical row of small black spots; at 
the upper cell-angle a small dark indistinct spot and at the lower angle a light yellow tripartite spot. 
Hindwing with a light costal-marginal area; the dark oblique line in the centre of the wing, before the distal 
margin traces of a zigzag line. Face dark brown; under surface opalescent grey. Described from a few <$($ from 
the Khasia Hills. 
A. inaequidiscata sp. nov. (49 f). The forewing resembles that of muscularia (49 h) in the colour and 
marking, but the cell-end is marked by a hyaline spot forming in the $ a roundish group of 5 spots, one at 
the lower cell-angle and an oval one above and below it, and 3 oblong larger ones between 2 and 5. On 
the hindwing all the spots are much smaller. In the $ there are only 3 spots, a large one between 3 and 4, 
and 2 small ones at and below the cell-end; on the hindwing they are reduced to two minute dots. Khasia Hills. 
A. perhamata Hmps. (49 f). Forewing dark violettish-brown; the proximal and distal lines as in 
muscularia , but quite indistinct; behind the distal line a dull brown area widening below; fringes lustrous bronze- 
brown ; at the lower cell-angle 2 small white dots. On the hindwing the brown area is larger; the costal-marginal 
area is flesh-coloured. In the $ the brown area behind the band is lighter and wider; head, thorax, and legs 
dull reddish-brown. It occurs in the Khasia, Naga, and Jaintia Mts. (in Assam). 
A. prunicolor Mr. (49 g, and Vol. II pi. 48 f). Forewing dull greyish violet; the lines pale greenish, 
the proximal line angular on the median, the distal line acute-angular on vein 7 near the distal margin, proceeding 
from the costa behind the centre; from the distal line at vein 5 to the hind-margin a fine straight sub marginal
