inner niargin. The liorder-line of the dark area normal. The fringe at the apex and above the anal angle some¬ 
what niute, not at the other vein-ends between them. Hindwing as in endopTiaea, thus dark also at the inner 
margin. $ 4S mm. Togo. 
A. bipunctata TTAt. fatua Fldr.) (21 a, b). Thorax blackish brown, abdomen dark brown. Forewing 
blackish brown, somewhat lighter in the marginal area. Interior line black, thin, hardly discernible, dentate, 
obliquely ontward. The black Inna at the cross-vein more distinct. Exterior line doidole, both the branches 
thickened at the costal margin. Excurved l)etween the costal niargin and the submedian fold. Fringe at the 
apex and anal angle white. Hindwing white, dark brown at the margin, very broad at the apex, narrow at 
the anal angle. - Specimens in which the marginal band extends only to vein 2 are called; — abbreviata Strd. 
The $ is badly figured by Felder. In the colouring similar to hemihyaJa. the interior and exterior lines are 
more separated from each other at the inner margin. 48 — 52 mm. Natal, East Africa. 
A. agrotidea 3Iab. (= bipnnctata Saahn.) (21 b). ^ thorax and forewing blackish as far as the interior 
line. The rest of the forewing and the abdomen somewhat lighter, whereby the streak at the cross-vein and 
the exterior line are distinct. The latter as far as vein 4 dentate, outward, inward in the submedian fold, then 
vei tical to the inner margin. A triangular dark blotch behind it at the costal margin. A marginal row of white 
dots. Tlie white hindwing shows the dark marginal band less broad at the apex than hitherto, it extends only 
to vein 2. 52 mm. Madagascar. 
A. melaleuca I17i'r. (21 c) is still darker than Inpmicfata. Thorax and forewing blackish brown, abdomen 
dark brown, with l)rownish ochreous hairs at the l)ase. Marking of forewing hardly discernible, a marginal 
row of black dots, fringe without white sj)ots. The brown marginal band on the hindwing extends to vein 2. 
- Extremely dark specimens are callerl: - nigrior Strd. 54 mm. Transvaal. 
A. fatilega Fldr. (21 c). Thorax blackish brown, abdomen brownish white. Forewing typically dark 
lu’own. Interior line black, extra-angular in the cell, in the sidnnedian fold and at the inner margin, introangular 
at the median vein and vein 1 . A lunulate spot edged with black below the cell-end. Exterior line dentate, 
very mnch distally angled behind the cell, then inward. Besides an indistinct snbmarginal line with white 
dots and long black streaks on the veins as far as the margin. Hindwing purely white, brownish at the middle 
of the distal margin, the veins there also lu’own. We figure a $ which is much lighter, whereby the lines are 
somewhat more distinct. $ 44 mm. South and East Africa. 
2. Forewing of beneatli witliout androcoiiia. 
A. tegulata FLmps. (21 c). The ^ is easily discernible by 4 yellowish brown lamellae near the apex of 
the antenna. Thorax dark greyish brown, abdomen yellowish brown, more brownish ochreoiis at the base. 
Forewing dark greyish brown. Interior line strong, Idack, excavated between the costal margin and the sub- 
median fold, then obliqnely outward to the inner margin. A fine black dot before it at the lower cell-margin. 
A bent fine black streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line black, dentate, outward as far as vein 6 , then steeper 
as far as vein 4. connected at vein 3 with the lower cell-angle by a fine black line, ending vertical at the inner 
margin. Behind it at the costal margin a large dark spot, adjoining to it a faded band parallel with the ex¬ 
terior line. A strongly notched black marginal line. Hindwdng white, veins and inner margin browmish ochreous. 
Histal maigin as far as vein 2 narrowdy dark, the veins black. 4(5—50 mm. Mashonaland, East Africa. 
A. humeralis Hutps. (21 d). Smaller than tegidata, otherwise similar, except the normal antennae. 
Thorax brownish w hite, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing greyish wdnte, blackish in the basal area as 
far as the interior line wdiich extends as in tegulata. Cross-vein finely black, a still finer short black interrupted 
streak before it in the cell. Exterior line somewhat dentate, double, uniformly bent, both the branches bised 
at the costal margin into a black s])ot. The median area between the interior and exterior lines whitish, dia- 
phanons. Somewhat darker at the distal margin. Hindwdng as in tegulata. 38—45 mm. Niger District. South 
and East Africa. 
A. melanoplaga Flmps. (21 c). Thorax browmish wdnte, abdomen lighter. Forewdng of with strong- 
scales at the costal margin from the base to behind the cell. Ground-colour dark brown, w-hiter in the cell, a 
little behind it and below it. Interior line marked by a black streak at the inner margin. Hindwing purely 
white, black at the margin as far as vein 2 . The ^ looks quite different. Tegnlae black, the rest of the body 
white. Forew ing more or less pm-ely wdnte as far as beyond the middle. Costal inagin black on of its length, 
a large quadrangular black spot behind the middle. A round black s]jot at the inner margin before the middle. 
The exterior line begins on the inside of the costal-marginal sjmt, obliqnely ont^v•ard as far as vein 5, vertical 
from vein 3. Behind it below the costal-marginal sjmt a somewhat less black, very large spot, often bordered 
by a white dentate line, marginal area broAvn. Hindwing hyaline wdnte, margin distinctly black . 38—4(1 mm. 
(South-West. South and East Afidca. 
A. fumata Wllgr. Tlun-ax dark brown, al)domen whitish ochreous. Forewdng whitish grey and brownish, 
blackish at the middle of the inner margin. A black streak at the base as far as vein 1. Interior line Avhite, 
edged Avith black outside, A\ith 3 strong notches in the cell, then undnlate, vertical to the inner margin. Tavo 
l)lack dots at the cross-vein and a s]jot aboAm them at the costal margin. A large reniform macula, edged black 
beloAV the loAver cell-angle. Exterior line black, edged AA'hite outside, notched, uniformly bent, edged dark ontside.
