bicular small, round, with fiery red centre and ochreous annulus black-edged; reniform with redbrown centre 
with white lunule on it and ochreous annulus defined by black; outer line double filled in with whitish, outcurved 
above, incurved below vein 4; subterminal line whitish, slight; hindwing semihyaline white; veins brown; 
costa, inner margin, and termen tinged with brown; in the ab. pygmaea Rmbr., which is quite small, the fore- 
wing is uniform pale brown, the orbicular with dark centre; in subsp. antipodea subsp. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) anlipodea. 
the forewing is much greyer, with the inner line on outer side and outer line on inner side strongly defined by 
black on inner margin. This form from N. S. Wales is probably a good species. Larva pinkish brown with 
blackish dots; spiracular line pale ochreous, dark-edged above; feeding on various lowgrowing plants; in Egypt 
destructive to Lucerne and Cotton. Almost cosmopolitan; occurring throughout the Palaearctic and Ethio¬ 
pian regions, and in the Indo-oriental found at Aden; Fao on the Persian Gulf; throughout India; in Ceylon; 
Burma; Hainan; Australia; the Hawaii Islands. 
105. Genus: Aiitlia Stgr. 
Tongue well developed; frons oblique, produced to a transverse ridge above; palpi upturned, the se¬ 
cond segment smooth and nearly reaching vertex, the third lengthy and slender; antennae of <$ pubescent; 
a ridge of scales between them; thorax and dorsum with very slight crests; forewing elongate, the costa 
straight; apex blunt; termen vertical above middle, oblique below; neuration normal. Type A. grata Btlr. 
A. grata Btlr. (= pretiosa Stgr.) (29 c). Forewing ochreous tinged with rufous; some pale pink suffusion grata. 
in submedian interspace and below base of costa; a black brown streak on inner margin from near base; inner 
line an oblique streak from costa, then marked by some points, a faint tooth in submedian interval, and a very 
elongate tooth above inner margin defined by white inwardly; claviform stigma narrow, acute at end, slightly 
brown-edged; orbicular and reniform with pale pink annuli, the former elongate, narrow, slightly oblique, 
with rufous centre, the latter constricted at middle with pink centre edged by a rufous line; a blackish patch 
at middle of costa; outer line dark brown, defined externally by pinkish white on costa and below middle, bent 
outwards below costa, then dentate, excurved to vein 4, then oblique; a diffuse, curved, pinkish subterminal 
band, with redbrown on its inner side except towards inner margin, and crossed by dark streaks towards apex; 
terminal area dark red brown, with blackish dashes and a fine white line before the dark terminal line; the ex¬ 
tremity of vein 1 defined by fine white streaks with black streaks above and below them; hindwing ochreous 
white suffused with brown, especially before termen which has a series of white streaks just before it. This 
palaearctic species occurs also in the Hag a Hills, Assam. 
A. rotunda Hmps. (29 c). Head, thorax, and abdomen chestnut brown; the tegulae reddish ochreous; rotunda. 
forewing reddish ochreous; the costa and apex suffused with fuscous; traces of inner, median, outer, and sub¬ 
terminal obliquely curved and slightly waved lines; a dark patch inside the first below median nervure; reniform 
stigma indistinct, with a dark patch beyond it; termen fuscous and chestnut brown with a waved blue grey 
line on it; hindwing fuscous; underside suffused with fuscous with cell spots and two indistinct outer lines.

A. intaminata Walk. (28 i). Forewing brownish irrorated with black; subbasal line strong, black, from intaminata. 
costa to submedian fold, followed by a blackish patch on costa and a black dot in cell; inner line indistinctly 
double, oblique, sinuous, with a black spot on outer arm at costa; orbicular stigma a small black spot; reni¬ 
form a black lunule, obscured by the strong black median shade, which runs obliquely from costa to lower 
end of cell and is then angled inwards on submedian fold; outer line indistinct, double, bent outwards below 
costa, then denticulate, and oblique below 4; subterminal line obscure, whitish, with some fuscous shading on 
inner side and a diffused black patch before it at costa; a row of black terminal lunules; hindwing white,
