marks the narrow submarginal line lies; fringe chequered black and white; hindwing white in fuscous grey 
in $, with dark cellspot, outer line, veins, and terminal shade, which are obscured in the darker N. India, 
Sikkim and Assam. Resembles A. praeclara Graes. (Vol. 3 pi. 3 d) from Amurland and Japan. 
A. bicolor Moore (5 g). Forewing blackish fuscous with an olive tinge, and dusted slightly with grey, bicolor. 
especially along costa; lines and outlines of stigmata deeper black and just discernible; the outer line lunulate- 
dentate with a pale lunule above vein 1; fringe concolorous; hindwing pure white, the fringe grey, with some - 
dark dots between veins at base; the veins at termen dark. Punjab, N. India. Somewhat like nigricans Leech 
from W. China; the forewing narrow and elongate. 
A. iria Swinh. (5h). Resembles A. maxima Moore, but much smaller; the lines more finely black and iria. 
distinct; inner double, the arms widely separate; outer line acutely zigzag, followed by olive brown patches 
on the folds and below costa; a fine black stieak from base along submedian fold to inner line, and a thicker one 
from median line to termen; orbicular stigma a large flattened oval, edged with black, with a black line from 
it into the reniform which is large and contains an olive brown patch; a slight olive brown flush beyond the median 
line throughout; submarginal line faint; fringe grey mottled with black beyond the black terminal dots; hindwing 
whitish, the veins black; a grey cellspot, outer line, and marginal cloud; some whitish dark-centred lunules along 
termen. Punjab, N. India. 
A. gastridia Swinh. (= aceris Limps, nec L.) (Vol. 3, pi. 2i). Forewing pale grey with darker grey gastridia. 
suffusion especially below middle; lines black, double, and distinct, the outer filled in with white; median line 
single, passing in front of the reniform stigma; orbicular stigma with grey centre and black ring; reniform a 
narrow lunule with dark edges; submarginal line indefinite, between dark shades; veins towards termen dark; 
small black terminal dots between veins; the fringe grey, mottled with black beyond the dots, and with a dark 
middle line; hindwing pale grey, more whitish in $; the veins dark towards termen; cellspot, outer line, and 
submarginal cloud grey. Punjab, N. India, extending into Kashmir. 
A. indica Moore (= rumicis Hmps. nec A.) (5 g). Forewing grey, suffused and speckled with dark indica. 
grey or blackish fuscous; the lines black, double, strongly lunulate dentate, the teeth of the inner line directed 
basewards, those of the outer acute and produced on the veins; a distinct median line, bent outwards beneath 
costa, vertical beyond cell, then incurved and becoming a broad shade to inner margin; orbicular stigma a black 
ring with pale centre; the reniform obscure, diffusely black; the lunule between submedian fold and vein 1 
of outer line filled up with ochreous white; subterminal line obscurely pale, interrupted, and followed by a row 
of dark lunules; a series of black terminal lunules; fringe grey brown at base with dark middle line, the tips 
mottled distinctly black and white; hindwing dull white with a faint luteous tinge in the d 1 , more strongly 
luteous grey in the $; in the a grey cell spot and submarginal band; the fringe grey between the veins; the 
$ has the band broader, and sometimes a brownish terminal border, and the fringe whiter; the form from 
Sikkim, subsp. grisea subsp. nov. (5h) is paler, with no blackish fuscous suffusion, and the hindwing of the grisea. 
sometimes greyer. Khasia and Naga Hills, Assam, and Sikkim. Distinguished from rumicis (Vol. 3, pi. 3 i), 
to which it has been sunk, by the narrower forewings, and especially by the pale hindwings, which are never, as 
in that species, bronzy brown. 
A. rubiginosa Walk. (= denticulata Moore) (5 i). Forewing grey, all but wholly suffused with fuscous rubiginosa. 
and dusted with black, the terminal area remaining paler; in submedian fold a diffuse black streak runs from 
base to termen; inner line double, oblique and wavy, but very obscure; outer line also double, filled in with 
white in places, joined to termen by a brown shade; median shade dark, oblique, in. costal half only; orbicular 
and reniform stigmata with partial black outline, the former pale, oblique and oval, the latter more or less 
obscured; submarginal line obscure, preceded in upper half of wing by small dark dentate patches; fringe pale, 
mottled with dark beyond the blackish terminal spots; hinclwing white, the veins brown; terminal spots and 
fringe as in forewing. Described by Walker from Sarawak, Borneo; occurring likewise in the Punjab, N. India; 
and in the valleys of Kashmir. 
Some of these species, notably indica Moore and nigromnculata Warr. , will probably have to be 
transferred to the genus Chamaepora Warr., when their larvae are known.

lamellate; thorax and abdomen smoothly haired, without crests; forewing elongate, narrow, the apex produced; 
neuration normal. Larva elongate, cylindrical, the tubercles raised and enlarged, bearing stiff fascicles of hairs. 
Type S. albovenosa Goeze.

S. albicosta Hmps. (5i). Forewing rufous, the costal edge white; median vein and all the veins to- albicosta. 
wards termen slightly white-streaked; a white spot at base of costa; fringe white at the tips; hindwing
