ANUA. By M. Gaede. 
at- margin to vein 1. In $ all lines are more distinct owing to greenish white dusting. 70—80 mm. Fiji Islands, 
regia. Solomon Islands. — Specimens from the Marian Islands form a transition to regia. — regia Luc. (49 b) is larger, 
markings inclined to be less distinct. On hindwings the black spot is prolonged distally, partly in spots, partly 
continuous to anal angle. 80—90 mm. Australia, New Guinea, Key Islands. 
2. Hindwings of $ without hairiness at vein 1 on undersides of hind- 
wings. Somewhat smaller species. 
submira. L. submira Wkr. (49 c). This species (as well as lateicincta) is recognisable by the unicoloured hindwings 
without the blue-white band. Forewings dark chocolate-brown, suffused with lilac in central area, marginal 
area sometimes somewhat reddish. Antemedian line dark, very oblique. Reniform stigma narrow with dark 
outline. Postmedian line excurved behind the cell, then inwards at vein 2, outwards to inner margin. Sub¬ 
marginal line straight, excurved towards apex, leaden coloured. Hindwing dark brown. A subform is rusty 
brown on forewings, diffuse in central area, suffused with lilac, greenish in marginal area. 50—60 mm. India, 
Burma. 
rubida. L. rubida Wkr. (49 c). Forewings chocolate-brown or reddish, median area paler. Margin grey-brown 
or greenish brown. Antemedian line widely excurved at costa then obsolete. A white spot occasionally at upper 
angle of cell. Postmedian line somewhat excurved below costa, then obsolete. The whitish submarginal line 
straight. Hindwings dark brown with straight bluish white band from centre of costa to anal angle. 70 mm. 
velutina. Assam, Borneo. — velutina E. Prout. The blue-white band on hindwings is somewhat broader. Hindwings 
completely ochreous yellow on underside, not only in cell. Ceram. 
dotata. L. dotata Fabr. The species is dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 326 as Artena dotata, as a few specimens have 
also been found in China. It is recognisable by the two somewhat undulate lines of forewings that approximate 
at inner margin and the curved blue-white band of hindwings. It was illustrated in Vol. Ill on pi. 60 c. Its 
distribution covers India and Burma, Malacca. 
inversa. L. inversa Wkr. ( = bivirgata Aw.). Forewings red-brown, indistinct distally of postmedian line, lilac- 
brown at margin. Antemedian line dark, very oblique, almost straight. A black spot at lower angle of cell 
Postmedian line also dark, almost straight, conjoining with submarginal line at anal angle. Hindwings dark 
brown. The blue-white band straight, with a small hook inwards at the end. Fringes white below apex and 
convergens. before anal angle. 65—70 mm. Malacca, Borneo, Philippines. — convergens Gaede. Postmedian line incurved 
before anal angle so that it terminates 2 mm apart from submarginal line. Sumatra. 
ochrobrun- L. ochrobrunnea Strd. This is held by the author to be a form of inversa and is described briefly thus: 
nea ' Fore wings pale ochreous brown to postmedian line. According to E. Prout ochrobrunnea is a separate species. 
Forewings more ochreous brown than in inversa. Antemedian line nearer to base, therefore median area wider 
and having an orbicular stigma. The pale marginal area wider. On hindwings the blue-white band narrower 
nicanora. and shorter. Penang, Borneo. —- nicanora E. Prout. Forewings more reddish than in ochrobrunnea , almost as 
in inversa. Discal area narrower. Postmedian line extending to inner margin, not as in inversa to the submarginal 
line. Heavy diffuse streaks on veins. Marginal area wider. Hindwings blacker, the pale bands more distinct. 
60—75 mm. New Guinea, Rossel Islands. 
lacteicinda. L. lateicincta Hmps. (49 c). Forewings chocolate-brown, suffused with lilac to postmedian line, distally 
a rusty brown sheen below costa. Margin grey-yellow. A yellow-white dot at lower end of disco-cellnlar, a 
minute dot at upper angle. Ante and postmedian lines heavy, dark, straight. Hindwings dark brown, narrowly 
yellow-white at margin. A straight white obsolescent band is indicated. 70 mm. Assam, Sikkim. 
certior. L. certior Wkr. (= contenta Wkr., siamica Wkr.) (49 c). The species appears to be only known in $ 
sex. On forewings the antemedian line is strikingly undulate, proximally pale brown, similarly behind the double, 
straight, vertical postmedian line; paler in central area. Reniform stigma narrow with dark surround. From 
apex a dark shade obliquely to behind the cell, conjoining there with traces of an undulate line to inner margin. 
Hindwings dark with a blue-white fairly straight band from centre of costa to above the anal angle. $ 65 mm. 
Burma, Siam. — Ophisma rectilinea Sn., described from Java, is almost certainly this species. 
24. Genus: Anna Wkr. 
This Genus was already dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 327 and more fully in Vol. XV, p. 224. Most of the 
species occur in Africa, although the number occurring in the indo-australian territory is quite considerable. 
Type: jinifascia Wkr. from the Transvaal. 
1. Antennae of $ with a row of scales before the centre and somewhat- 
bent. Central tibiae attenuated on inner side in upper part. 
A. pareemacula Luc. (51 a). Forewings very pale olive-brown, somewhat greenish in $. A fine white 
■pareemacula.
