antemedian line, not undulate, curved obliquely outwards. Reniform stigma heavy, black-brown. Postmedian 
line formed of two rows of parallel dark dots. Submarginal line consisting of small brown spots, a black lunule 
at costa; at inner margin with a black line and leaden coloured spot. Distally varyingly brown. Hindwings 
orange-yellow with black subapical spot in dark surround. sherlockiensis Strd. is paler. — 58 — 65 mm. New sherlodcien- 
Guinea, Australia. 
2. Antennae and central tibiae of ^ normal. Hindwings with woolly 
hairs at base on underside, androconia on the veins behind the cell. 
A. coronata F. (49 d). As this species was once captured in Madagascar it has already been dealt with coronaia. 
in Vol. XV, p. 224. Forewings pale brown with dark ante and postmedian lines, the inner one curved in the 
centre towards the base, the other curved outwards in the centre; at inner margin they both closely approximate. 
Reniform stigma surrounded by distinct black spots with pale edges. Submarginal line yellowish, excurved 
to the apex, otherwise parallel to outer margin. Hindwings yellow with wide black median and submarginal 
bands that do not extend to the costa and inner margin. - magica Hbn. has an enlarged reniform stigma with magica.

Pevastopitlo describes the larva as follows: — Head brown with yellow stripes. Body sienna-brown with 
double paler brown dorsal line, subdorsal and single lateral line. The dorsal lines touch a black spot on segment 8. 
On segment 11 there are 2 yellow warts. Ventrally pale brown with dark spots. Pupa dark lilac in a loose silken 
cocoon between leaves. 
A. alorensis spec. nov. (56 b). Thorax and forewings ochreous brown with lilac sheen, the lines dark alorensis. 
brown. Antemedian line sharply angxdated inwards below costa, then straight and very oblique. Reniform 
stigma, in the only specimen known, slightly darker than ground colour with black dot below. Postmedian 
line obliquely angulated outwards under the costa, then vertically, slightly impressed in centre, therefore similar 
to hituensis: the antemedian line is much more oblique. Submarginal line consists of black triangles similar 
to hituensis , but more distinct. Abdomen and hindwings paler yellow than in coronata with short black sub¬ 
marginal band from vein 6—2. One 62 mm. Alor. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
A. hituensis Pagst. (= amideta Trnr.) (49 d). Forewings grey-brown. Antemedian line dark brown, hituensis. 
straight, oblique; reniform stigma with fine dark surround, occasionally black in lower half. Postmedian line 
slightly impressed in centre, somewhat darker distally. Submarginal line finely yellowish, dentate, vertical, 
anteriorly browner on costa. Hindwings pale grey-brown in basal area, with obsolete paler median band, marg¬ 
inal band as in coronata, but slightly darker. 60 — 70 mm. Amboina, Australia. 
A. rectilinea Sn. This species seems to have been unknown to Hampson. We have mentioned it under rectilinea. 
Lagoptera certior. 
A. tirhaca Cram. This cosmopolitan species was already dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 327, pi. 60 f. Apart tirhaca. 
from being distributed from South Europe to the Cape it also extends to the Philippines. 
A. discriminans Wkr. (49 e). This and the following species are distinguishable by a pale round anal discrimi- 
spot on forewings. Forewings olive-yellow. A reddish undulate antemedian line is indicated. Reniform stigma nam 
dark brown with grey inner edge. Postmedian line consists of faint red spots, approximately parallel to outer 
margin, somewhat undulate, distally diffuse red to the margin. Submarginal line forming 2 white dentations 
below the costa and a white arc before the anal angle, distally with whitish brown spot, it consists in centre of 
wing, of indistinct white scales. Hindwings yellow with wide black submarginal band. 60—64 mm. Ceylon, 
Tonkin. Philippines. - pygospila Sn. may be retained as denominating a form. Forewings more heavily suf- pygospila. 
fused with red. The black band on hindwings much narrower and shorter. 60 mm. One $ is known from the 
Celebes. 
A. sublutea B.-Bak. (51 e). Forewings brilliant red-brown, yellowish at base. Reniform stigma formed sublutca. 
like an "8”, white with brown surround. A double undulate oblique postmedian line is indicated. Submarginal 
line bluish white, interrupted in centre, heavily undulate, with blue-grey anal spot. Hindwings orange-yellow. 
A black submarginal line is indicated by a few spots. — keyensis Strd. there is no trace of an outer line. 60 mm. keyensis. 
Key Islands, New Guinea. 
A. kenricki B.-Bak. (49 e). Of each of this and the following species only 1 $ specimen is known. Hind- kenricki. 
wings pure yellow, no band. Forewings orange-yellow with greenish sheen, red-yellow in marginal area, dark red- 
brown at apex and inner margin. Orbicular stigma as a round dark annulus, reniform stigma as in discriminans. 
Postmedian line consists of dark brown striations, somewhat excurved, widely inwards and very obliquely 
under vein 4. Submarginal line grey, boldly in and excurved, a large grey-white spot before anal angle, proxim- 
ally dark brown to before the centre of inner margin. C 75 mm. New Guinea.
