beyond its middle; hindwing white, with a reddish brown tinge, especially along veins and terminal area; 
fringe white. The Punjab, and Sikkim; also found in the vallies of Kashmir, in Tibet, and West China. 
A. arersacea Moore. This Sikkim species appears to differ from himaleyica Roll, in having the hind¬ 
wing, especially in the $, fuscous. 
A. farinacea Moore. Differs from the palaearctic species fuscicornis Rmb. (= kadenii Frr.) in the 
forewing having the centre of reniform fuscous with black dots round it instead of rufous with white dots. Re¬ 
corded from several localities in the Punjab. 
A. obtusa Hmps. (28 1). Forewing ochreous overlaid with reddish brown and fuscous; the inner and outer 
lines blackish; the inner curved and denticulate, the outer oblique to vein 7, then dentate and incurved; 
orbicular stigma a black point; reniform cloudy, fuscous, constricted at middle, where there is a slight yellowish 
spot, with indistinct white dots above and below it; subterminal line marked by a dark shade preceding it; 
hind wing brownish grey, darker at costa. A widely distributed species, recorded from S. India, Borneo, and 
Queensland, as well as from Hongkong, China. 
A. sincera Swinh. (28 1). Forewing dull greyish ochreous varied with paler; all the markings cloudy; 
the subterminal line defined by fuscous internally; orbicular stigma a dark dot; the reniform fuscous, with 
white dots round it; hindwing pale ochreous. Occurs in the Punjab and I believe also in Kashmir. 
A. placida Moore (28 1). Forewing rufous grey or dark fuscous grey; the lines dark, often obscure; 
the inner angled below costa, then waved, and projecting outwards on inner margin; the outer lunulate dentate, 
nearly vertical, sometimes indented on lower fold; orbicular a black dot; reniform dark fuscous, obscure, with 
an ochreous spot on outer edge at middle and one or two white dots; a dark shade before subterminal line; 
hindwing white tinged with dark towards termen and apex, especially in the fuscous specimens; the species is 
variable; the fuscous clouded examples may be separated as ab. fuscata ab. nov .; in these the rufous tint 
is nearly obsolete; another form, which like the type is sometimes rufous and at others fuscous, ab. pallidilinea 
ab. nov. has the outer line not dentate and followed by a pale somewhat curved line; the inner line similar, 
and straight or incurved. Widely spread; occurring in N. W. India, Ceylon (whence the type), Hainan, Borneo, 
Java, Sumatra, Tura, Wetter, Celebes, the Louisiades, New Guinea,- and Queensland. 
A. cognata Moore (28 1). Forewing luteous grey dusted with darker; the lines dark, fine, more or less 
parallel and vertical; the inner slightly sinuous, the median angled at middle, the outer vertical with strong 
teeth on the veins; orbicular a black dot; reniform of the ground colour with a yellow spot on its outer edge and 
a white dot above and below it; terminal area darker; hindwing white. Throughout India. 
A. bicorrsis Hmps. (28 m). Forewing reddish grey suffused with fuscous, and dotted with pale atoms; the 
lines, marked with black at costa, the costal edge ochreous between; orbicular a curved velvety black bar; reni¬ 
form a velvety black triangle, the apex pointing basewards with irregular black spots before it; subterminal 
line white, straight, preceded by a dark shade; hindwing whitish, with veins and termen dark. Recorded from 
Madras in S. India only; Gooty and the Nilgiri Hills. 
A. stygia Hmps. (28 m). This species is almost an exact replica of A. externa Walk., but the antennae 
of the (J are nearly simple, whereas those of externa are armed with tuberculate fascicles of cilia. Occurs at 
many places in the Punjab and in the Khasia Hills, Assam. In the Tring Museum there are specimens of both 
species from Sabathu. 
A. flavitincta Hmps. (28 m). Forewing whitish tinged with reddish ochreous and irrorated with brown, 
the terminal area suffused with pale fuscous; a black sub basal spot on costa; inner line double, indistinct, 
with black costal dot on outer arm, oblique and slightly waved; orbicular stigma absent; reniform narrow, 
with slight dark edging; a diffuse curved and waved median shade; outer line double, with a black costal 
dot on inner arm, outcurved above and oblique below vein 4; subterminal line pale, waved; hindwing white 
tinged with brown, the veins and termen brown. The Punjab, Kulu, Sultanpur.
