double marginal line. On hindwings, this marginal line is more heavily undulate, the submarginal also in lesser 
degree. 60—70 mm. Queensland. 
17, Genus: lAlguza Wkr. 
Similar to Donuca Wkr., but very much smaller. The 2nd segment of palpi shorter than in Donuca, 
the 3rd is minute. Type: spiramioides Wkr. All species are australian. 
1. Fore tibiae short and stout, with 2 long claws anteriorly and 2 
posteriorly. 
N. anisogramma Low. (50 e). Forewings red-brown. Antemedian band wide, white, outwardly below anisogram- 
costa, then vertically, with white claviform stigma with black centre attached. The round ocellus black-brown, 
with yellow and black circumscription. Close distally a wide white outer band. Contingently a row of orange- 
yellow spots with silvery white inner edges and white submarginal spots. Hindwings white, brown in centre 
of inner margin and at disco-cellular. Marginal area brown, narrowly at anal angle, containing a row of orange- 
yellow spots with white spots outwardly. $ 36—40 mm. Western Australia. 
N. habroscopa Low. is similar to the preceding, but larger and with 2 bands on forewings. ForeAvings habroscopa. 
smoky brown, markings white and exactly as in anisogramma , that also has 2 bands, so that there is no difference. 
There is therefore only the variation of the colour and size (42 mm) to separate that species from habroscopa. 
One G from N. S. Wales was submitted for description. 
2. Fore tibiae short, with 3 claws at ends. 
N. eucesta Trnr. (47 f). ForeAvings rosy yellow. Behind the ocellus mark purer yellow on foreAvings. eucesta. 
Antemedian line bold, black, somewhat oblique. Ocellus olive-brown, elliptical, yellow and olive-brown outer 
edge and with round black centre. Postmedian line black, very obliquely to vein 7, then dentate and parallel 
to outer margin. Submarginal line similarly dentate, parallel to margin. On hindAvings the dentate outer line 
also parallel to margin, distally a band of blue-black spots. One $. 45 mm. X. S. Wales. 
N. spiramioides Wkr. (50 e). ForeAvings pale red-brown. The dark broAvn antemedian line of foreAvings spiramioi- 
vertically, then sharply angulated inwards at vein 1. Ocellus black at top, broAvn below with a few white spots, det 
with yelloAV and black circumscription. Postmedian line double, its inner branch bolder, encircling the ocellus 
and widely angulated inwards at vein 1; the outer brancli faintly angulated at vein 7, then dentate, parallel 
to margin. Submarginal line uniformly undulate. Hindwings Avith oval spot at disco-cellular. Median and 
postmedian lines dark, the latter dentate outwardly. Submarginal line sharply dentate. 35—45 mm. N. Australia. 
3. Fore tibiae of d ° f normal length. 
N. oculita Swh. (50 e). Similar in colouration and markings to spiramioides. Antemedian line someAvhat oculita. 
inwards on foreAving, no angulation. Ocellus black inwardly, with yellow and black circumscriptions. Proceeding 
from it a diffuse undulate median line, obliquely inwards. Postmedian line not so sharply angulated. Distally 
2 dark lines parallel to margin and the dentate submarginal line. On hindwings margin is darker. The median 
line angulated outwards in centre, the postmedian line double, the outer branch somewhat dentate. Submarginal 
line dentate. 30—35 mm. W. Australia. 
To the Genus Lagoptera Hbn., there follow several Genera, the species of which are partially frequent 
and which are remarkable by their size and beauty. 
18. Genus: Ainphoraceras B.-Bak. 
Palpi stout, the 3rd segment with rounded button-like tip. Thorax and base of abdomen Avith a feAV 
short tufts. Antennae of J flattened at base and with long hairs. The hairs are rolled round the shaft. The 
Genus contains but one striking species. 
A. rothschildi B.-Bak. (51 a). Forewings grey, bolder red-brown posterior to postmedian line beloAv rothscMldi. 
vein 5, the veins greenish in marginal area. Antemedian line red-brown, triple and interfilled with violet, in¬ 
curved in cell, inAvards below vein 2, intermediately outwards. Reniform stigma lilac-grey, with irregular black 
outline, 5 black dots inwardly. Postmedian line double, indistinct, diffuse, from costa outwards to vein 6, then 
red-brown, interfilled with lilac, very oblique. On costa near apex a semi-circular dark red-broAAii spot. Hind¬ 
wings black-brown in basal half, marginal half orange-yellow. 75 mm. 
19. Genus: flouiaeadn. 
This african Genus with its 4 species is dealt with in Vol. XV, p. 200 and 221. One of these 4 species: 
H. clathrum Gn. actually belongs in the first instance to the indian territory. clathrum.
