A. albicosta B.-Bak. (40 i). Forewings lilac-brown, edge of costa white. Inner line proceeding as in a'tbicostn. 
truncata. A dark streak indicated at disco-cellular. The white outer line curved at a rightangle at vein 3 and 
terminating near anal angle. Hindwings brown, reflecting through below the cell. $ 40 mm, $ 35 mm. New 
Guinea. — albignesia Warr. Smaller than albicosta. Ground colour brown, deeper at inner margin. Hindwings albigncBa. 
white, dark grey-brown apically. New Guinea. The type was probably only a poor specimen of albicosta\. 
A. iridias Meyr. (40 i). Forewings brighter yellow-red. Lines just as in albicosta. Hindwings grey- iridiaa. 
brown. 40 mm. Only 2 $$ known. Perhaps identical with albicosta and then this name would have rights of 
priority. Also from New Guinea. 
A. elaina Swh. (40 i). Similar to albicosta, but costa not so white. Ground colour more reddish, similar elaina. 
to iridias. Lines as in albicosta , but outer line finer at costa, more distinct at anal angle. Hindwings of + 
brownish white, somewhat transparent at inner margin, more extensively so and whitish in $. 40 mm, 
9 36 mm. New Guinea, Queensland. 
A. fumata Warr. Resembles elaina (40 i) in the markings, but the reddish brown ground is covered fumata. 
by dense dark olive-brown scales. As in elaina there is a pale spot on costa before the submarginal line. 
Fringes rose inwardly, white outwardly. Hindwings dark brown, paler below the cell. In the $ hindwings 
are dark on upper and undersides, only the costa and veins are rose on underside; in elaina $ hindwings are 
whitish. New Guinea. — griseomixta Warr. The $ is much moie grey, on underside the rose colouration is griseomixta. 
extinct. New Guinea. 
A. musculina Wkr. ( = cucullioides Wkr.) (31 g). Reddish brown, suffused with lilac. The dark inner musculina. 
line angulated below costa, then straight to behind the centre of inner margin. A black spot at disco-cellular. 
Outer line with dark shade at costa, fairly uniformly curved, from vein 3 obliquely to inner margin near the 
anal angle. An oblique subapical row of dots, below which are a few submarginal dots. Hindwings brown, 
paler at base. 40 — 44 mm. Burma, Singapore, Philippines, Ceram. 
A. apriformis Wkr. (40 h). Forewings red-brown, dusted with black. Inner line black, oblique, not apriformis. 
curved at costa. A black spot at disco-cellular. Outer line black, most excurved in centre, terminating at 
inner margin not far distant from inner line, not so near to anal angle, as, for instance, in musculina. Sub¬ 
marginal line indicated by black dots. Hindwings brownish white. 40 mm. India and Ceylon. — The cocoon 
is described as being yellowish with thornlike knobs and a brush of hairs anteriorly dorsally. 
A. curvilinea Stgr. (41 a). The $ of this species is said to originate from the Amur. This must be curvilinea. 
erroneous. The now in the Berlin Museum, somewhat resembles truncata (40 h), but is still more like apri¬ 
formis (40 h). Forewings grey-brown, transverse lines dark. Inner line straight, the spot on disco-cellular like 
in apriformis. The curve of the outer line is somewhat lower than in apriformis, not anything like as high 
as in truncata. Black dots of a subapical and submarginal row are indicated. Hindwings darker than in apri¬ 
formis. $ 36 mm. Sumatra. In regard to the $ compare Vol. Ill, p. 299, pi. 52 1. 
A. damnipennis Wkr. (41 a). Small. Forewings chocolate-brown, suffused with lilac. Recognisable by damnipen- 
the outer line. It is indented behind the cell and below vein 4 again somewhat outwards towards the inner 
margin. The oblique inner line is slightly excurved anteriorly, somewhat incurved on submedian fold. A black 
subapical row of dots and besides one submarginal dot below vein 5. Hindwings dark brown, paler at base. 
30 to 32 mm. South India and Ceylon. 
A. rufula Warr. Forewings ochreous reddish. Basal spot, median area and outer margin yellow-red. rufula. 
Inner and outer lines blackish with pale edge, converging to a point on inner margin. Other details as to 
their form are not given. Median area with a few' irregular dark spots and a black cell spot. Posteriorly a 
grey spot on costa. Submarginal line w'hite in its anterior part. Margin grey-yellow. Hindwings dark brown. 
Described from 1 $ from Assam. 
A. deminutiva Warr. The smallest species. Pale grey-brown, lines rusty brown and indistinct. Inner demmutiva. 
line from % °f costa to centre of inner margin, angulated inwards on submedian fold. Outer line from centre 
of costa, obliquely bent to just before the anal angle. A few submarginal spots on costa. Hindwings uni¬ 
formly grey. Two $$ of only 18 mm expanse; from the Solomon Is. 
A. subflava B.-Bak. (40 i). The oblique pale stripes are very striking. Forewings pale lilac-brown, with subflava. 
vertical black striations in marginal area. An oblique dark line from % of costa almost to centre of inner margin, 
outwardly with wide whitish band. A double dark line from centre of costa to vein 2 before the margin, with 
wide pale intertilling. A short dark subapical line with wide pale inner edge. Hindwings dark brown, trans¬ 
parent in and below the cell. 46 mm. New Guinea. 
22. Gattung-: Cletliropliora Hmps. 
Palpi sleek, oblique, the 3rd segment short. Antennae of $ finely ciliate. Fore wings with pointed apex 
and angulated at vein 4. Vein 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. On hindwings vein 3 + 4 with short stalk. Type: 
distincta Leech.
