brown-edged; hindwing uniform fuscous; fringe whitish; in the $ the markings of the forewing are more di¬ 
stinct, the lines being defined by grey and the subterminal by black; — in the form annulata F. (= spoliata annulata. 
Walk., latipennis Wlngrn., subtracta Walk., latipennis Walk.) (25g) the reniform is not filled in with white, but 
simply ringed; in ab. brunnea ab. nov. (25 g) the whole forewing is rufous brown; — in paradoxa Saalm., originally brunnea. 
described from Madagascar, the stigmata are separated by a blackish patch in cell. A common species in the P ara doxa. 
Indo-Australian region, occurring throughout India and the Malay Islands to Australia; equally common in 
Africa, and found in China in the palaearctic region. The larva is dorsally blackish with indistinct interrupted 
pale lines; laterally brownish ochreous with a white black-centred ocellate spot on each segment, sometimes 
set in reddish patches; a brownish sublateral stripe; ventral surface yellowish, ochreous, or greenish, with 
whitish lines and a double maculate black lateral stripe; sometimes with greenish dorsal and subspiracular 
stripes; head and anal segment ochreous with black spots; feeding on Croton tiglium and aromaticum, some¬ 
times becoming a pest. 
82. Genus: Amynodes gen. nov. 
Differs from Amyna in the metathorax and basal segments of dorsum being tufted; the palpi are shorter 
and broader; forewing with costa curved instead of straight, the apex sharper, the termen less oblique; hind- 
wing without dilated inner margin. Type A. distigmata Hmps. 
A. distigmata Hmps. (25 g). Forewing dark cupreous brown; a white dot at base; subbasal line & distigmata. 
white striga from costa and dot below cell; inner and outer lines dark conversely edged with white, each marked 
by a white costal striga; orbicular a white dot; reniform a white annulus above a round white spot; subter¬ 
minal line a series of dark and white lunules with a white spot on costa; terminal black and white dots; 
hindwing dark fuscous brown. Bhutan, N. India. 
A. monocampta Hmps. (25 f). Fore wing dark reddish brown; inner and outer lines dark conversely monocampta. 
edged with white; the inner somewhat zigzag; the outer excurved from subcostal vein round cell, then oblique 
to inner margin; subterminal line formed of small very indistinct whitish marks, plainer towards costa; a ter¬ 
minal dark line; reniform stigma a bar of white and black scales with pure white spot at its lower end; hind- 
wing fuscous brown. Described from a single <$ from Sikkim, N. India. 
83. Genus : Tlattfa Walk. 
Differs from Amyna Guen. in the presence of a fovea in the base of cell of fore wing of the <$, masked 
on the underside by a fan of scales from subcostal vein, the median vein being only slightly- down-curved 
below it. Type I. octo Guen. 
I. crocosticta Hmps. (= octo Hmps. part nec Guen.) (25 d). Forewing dark brown tinged with grey; crocosticta. 
a white dot at base; obliquely placed subbasal white dots on costa and below cell; inner line with white costal 
striga, then obscure, waved, with white dots on veins and submedian fold; orbicular stigma a white dot; 
reniform defined by a few black scales, its lower part white with orange at middle, and its upper part with 
slight white annulus, strongly constricted at middle; a white median striga from costa and dot on vein 
2 near base; outer line fine, blackish, bent outwards below costa, excurved to vein 4, lunulate dentate, 
the teeth produced to white points on the veins, then incurved; a white bar-shaped mark from costa 
just before apex; subterminal line absent; a series of black terminal dots with white ones between them; hind¬ 
wing dark glossy brown. Christmas Island. 
1. aroa Beth.-Baker (25 d). Forewing red brown tinged with grey; lines marked by a white costal aroa. 
striga; the inner very obscure, brownish, oblique to median vein; median similar; outer bent outwards below 
costa, then dentate with white points on the veins, incurved below vein 4; orbicular stigma a white dot; reni¬ 
form a semicircular white mark below with a yellow spot above it and at top two white dots and a minute 
streak; subterminal line greyish, inwardly defined by brown; minute terminal black dots; a bar shaped white 
spot from costa just before apex; hindwing grey brown, paler basewards; fringe of both wings with the tips 
whitish; in the ab. flavirena ab. nov. (25 d) the reniform is wholly yellow. Described from New Guinea; fiavirena. 
also occurs in Fergusson Island, Pulo Laut, and Java. The A has the fovea in cell of forewing rather large.
