A. malvae Esp. (Vol. 3, pi. 52 m). This species that is frequent throughout the entire old world, was rnalvae. 
already discussed in Vol. Ill, p. 301. It also occurs on Formosa, in India and Ceylon. 
A. graellsi Feisth. (Vol. 3, pi. 52 m) has a similar distribution to malvae. It is also dealt with in Vol. graellsi. 
Ill, P. 301. 
58. Genus: Armactiea Wkr. 
Palpi attenuate, elongate and erect. Antennae of <$ finely ciliate. Neuration of forewings normal, of 
hindwings as in Acontia. Type: columbina Wkr. The Genus is purely australian. 
A. columbina Wkr. (43 g). Forewings leaden-grey, dusted with brown to postmedian line, distally columbina. 
red-brown. Transverse lines dark brown. Antemedian somewhat angulated outwards below costa, then in¬ 
wards and almost vertical. A black annular mark at disco-cellular. Postmedian line oblique at costa, excurved 
behind the cell, vertical from vein 2 downwards. The red-brown submarginal line rather more vertical at costa, 
with white outer edge there and at inner margin. Hindwings yellow with brown margin. 30—40 mm. Australia. 
A. andreusi Hmps. (43 g). Very similar to the preceding species in colouration and marking. Antemedian andreusi. 
line somewhat more incurved under the centre. The black cell spot with a silvery blue centre, smaller, the 
postmedian line is almost contingent. The white edge of the outer line is wider and shorter. On hindwings 
the dark margin is wider. 30—32 mm. Christmas Islands. 
A. endoleuca Hmps. (43 g). Forewings dark red-brown, whitish at inner margin to postmedian line and endoleucn. 
distally of the submarginal line, transverse lines black. Antemedian line boldly excurved in the cell, vertical 
at inner margin. A spot as in andreusi at the disco-cellular. Postmedian line similarly curved to that of co¬ 
lumbina. Posterior to the submarginal line a small spot at costa and a large white spot at inner margin, between 
them black spots with silvery blue centres. Hindwings yellowish white, duskily brown at margin. 24 mm. 
One ^ from Western Australia. 
A. conchidia Btlr. ( = ocellata Luc., peltaloma Low.) (43 g). The species varies quite considerably in conchidia. 
colouration and marking; as both the and $ have an entirely different appearance, they have received separate 
denominations. Forewings of A are white. A few dark dots on costa. Reniform stigma narrowly black. A 
black undulate line extends from its lower edge to before centre of inner margin; the space between this line and 
the postmedian line is brown. Outer line obliquely to vein 6, then acutely curved to vein 4, inwards to the 
lower angle of the cell, then obliquely to the inner margin. The submarginal line olive-brown, with white 
outer edge, formed similarly to that of the other species. The $ is more heavily dusted with brown, reniform 
stigma absent, other markings indistinct, only the brown spot before the outer line is present. Hindwings of 
8 1 and $ ochreous white, transparent, brownish at margin. 26—30 mm. Australia. 
59. Genus: Duniigania Trnr. 
The author makes some reservations in regard to placing this species in this subfamily. Palpi short, 
thorax with tuft posteriorly. Fore wings with bold scaly lobe at anal angle. Forewings with accessory cell, 
vein 5 separate from 4. Also on hindwings vein 5 is widely separate from 4. Only one species. 
D. iochlora Trnr. Costa is somewhat undulate before the apex. The apex rounded, outer margin angul- iochlora. 
ated at vein 4. Ground colour lilac-red, whitish at base and to the centre of costa, transverse lines blackish. 
Antemedian line from 2 / 5 costa to 2 / 5 inner margin with an acute angle between. Outer line from 4 / 5 costa 
incurved to the antemedian line, then outwards again to 4 / 5 of inner margin. Submarginal band white, edged 
proximally with diffuse grey-green. Hindwings whitish, grey at margin with dark outer line. $ 32 mm. 
Queensland. 
60. Genus: Alypoplianes Trnr. 
Palpi attenuate, short. Frons with short projection. Antennae of $ finely ciliate. The outer spurs 
of tibiae short. Forewings with straight costa, rounded at apex, outer margin curved. Vein 7 -(- 8 —f- 9 stalked, 
no accessory cell. On hindwings vein 3 + 4 stalked, 5 below the centre, 6+7 stalked. Only 1 species. 
A. iridocosma Trnr. Forewings ochreous yellow, a grey spot containing rosy scales at base. The grey iridocosma. 
quadrate spot on costa before the centre extending almost to inner margin, incised below and with rose coloured 
central spot. Outer margin widely grey, a narrow streak in the ground colour near the apex. Hindwings also 
ochreous yellow with red radial streak through the centre, widely grey at inner and outer margins. 18—20 mm. 
Queensland.
