A. multiplicans Wkr. (33 b) is much less variegated than juventa. Body and forewing dark brown, more muUiplicans. 
or less dusted with bluish grey. Interior line indistinct, double, notched. A black cellular dot, the reniform 
macula rusty brown, edged with black, narrow. Exterior line double, excurved below the costal margin, dentate, 
with white dots at the veins. Submarginal line whitish, with black spots before it. Hindwing greyish brown, 
yellow at the anal angle, bordered by a white line. —- In subanalis Strd. this spot is whitish. — In pygatula Strd. subanaUs. 
it is almost extinct. 35—40 mm. Occurring in China, throughout India, Ceylon, Malacca, Borneo, Queensland. vy r J aiula - 
— elegans E. Prout is somewhat larger, more grey on the forewing, the reniform macula cinnamon red, more elegans. 
intensely margined with black towards the base, the submarginal line stronger at the anal angle. Hindwing 
with a larger pale anal spot. Described according to numerous <$<$ from Sumatra. 
A. insuffusa Warr. Similar to multiplicans (33 b). Body grey like the wings. Forewing without the dark insuffusa. 
irroration at the costal and inner margins. Lines and maculae scarcely different. Hindwing with a pale sub¬ 
marginal line expanding at the anal angle, mixed with rusty yellow scales. 48 mm. Borneo, Penang. 
A. rubristigma Warr. Body grey, the wings shorter. Forewing grey, dusted with black. Interior line rubrisligma. 
double, undulate, incurved below the middle. Reniform macula red, without black lateral margins. Exterior 
ine indistinct in front, dentate below vein 6, parallel to the margin. Submarginal line pale, thickly black before 
it except in the cellular fold, incurved in the submedian fold. Hindwing grey at the base, darker at the margin, 
with a pale grey submarginal line. 36 mm. 1 $ known from Borneo. 
A. constricta Gn. ( = complexa Wkr., canescens Wkr., glaucopoides Wkr., macrocera Sn.) (33 b). Body constrida. 
and forewing dark red-brown. The ring-macula is a black dot, reniform macula rusty brown, thickly edged with 
black inside, less outside, somewhat rusty brown also between the maculae. Exterior line sometimes marked by 
white dots. The white submarginal dots are always distinct. The browner hindwing with rows of light dots 
near the anal angle. $ greyer. 30—35 mm. India, Ceylon, Malacca, Sunda Is. — The larva is green with a 
black dorsal band, enclosing green streaks on the segments 2—9, stigmata reddish. On Semecarpns. 
A. cineracea Wilem. & West. Body greyish yellow and brownish. Forewing greyish yellow, lilac red- cineracea. 
brown in the lower part. Interior line double, fine, greyish brown. The ring-macula is a lilac brown spot, the 
reniform macula a light red-brown luna edged with blackish brown. Median band fine, excurved, lilac brown. 
Exterior band undulate, dark brown, outside with greyish yellow dots at the veins. Submarginal line undulate, 
greyish brown. Hindwing greyish yellow, lilac red-brown at the distal margin and also at the inner margin, a 
short reddish yellow line at the anal angle. 28 mm. Philippines. 
A. fida Swh. (33 b). Body and forewing bluish white, dusted with black. Interior line white, sharply fida. 
notched, edged with blackish on both sides. A black dot in the centre of the cell. Reniform macula white, edged 
with black, with a black streak inside. A fine median line proceeds from a black spot at the costal margin. Ex¬ 
terior line white at the costal margin, excurved, then more yellowish, luniform, broadly edged with black outside, 
more narrowly inside. Behind it a black line with sharp dents, and black sagittal spots. Hindwing dark brown, 
more reddish brown in the $. A dentate white median line in the interior half, a double submarginal line at the 
anal angle. 40 — 45 mm. Perak, Borneo. Hampson mentions only we figure 1 $ from Borneo. 
11. Genus: l*acctes Hbn. 
Palpi obliquely erected, the second joint hairy in front and behind, the third short, thin. Antennae of 
J typically strongly bipectinated as far as % of their length Thorax with a broad tuft in front. Forewing with 
a straight costal margin, sometimes undulate at the distal margin. Veins 3—5 of hindwing from the same base. 
Type: pygmaen Hbn. from North America. The genuine species of Paectes are all American, and more than 30 
of them are known. In the Indo-Australian Region the species belong to the subordinate genus of Callingura 
Btlr. showing a hair-pencil at the beginning of the anterior tibiae in the <$. These species are somewhat less 
numerous. 
P. kebeae B.-Bak. (31 b). Forewing olive brown, greyer at the margin. A whitish band from the base kebeae. 
below the costal margin to the end of the exterior line; a black streak below it from the middle of the cell-margin 
to the base at vein 1. Exterior line black below the costal margin almost as far as the apex, then down to 
vein 4 and strongly bent inward to before the middle of the inner margin, edged with white inside. Submarginal 
line dark, parted at vein 3 by a fine black streak. Hinclwing brownish. The $ has darker forewings with a brown 
costal margin. Hindwing darker. 32 mm. New Guinea. 
P. psaliphora Hmps. (33 c). Body bluish white. Forewing dark iron brown and lilac grey. An oblique psaliphora. 
black line from the lower cell-margin to vein 1 near the base, then quite indistinct outward to the inner margin, a 
conspicuous yellowish white triangle above it. Exterior line black, of the usual shape, the lower part edged with 
white inside, pink below the costal margin. A white dentate submarginal line, dark inside, fadedly white below 
vein 3, and a brownish spot above vein 1 before it. Hindwing brown, a short light dentate line at the anal angle. 
28—34 mm. Java, New Guinea.
