A. lymantrioides sp. n. (26 c). Forewing brown with a black basal dot, a white dentate antemedian 
transverse line, a white median band being strangulated below the cell, a median band containing a black dot, 
a white postmedian line, and a mostly white marginal area. Fringe spotted red and grey. Hindwing, abdomen, 
collar, and palpi red. Cross-vein of forewing often very prominently black. types in the Berlin Museum 
from Lindi, German East Africa. 
A. flavimotata Btlr. (26 c). Forewing brown, at the costal margin and hind-margin darker, with a 
median transverse line which, behind the cell, is far removed towards the base and proximally whitish, distally 
broadly shaded with dark brown. Distally to the cell between the veins 3 and 5 a chrome-yellow oblong spot 
which is continued towards the base on the posterior edge of the cell. In the cell a black dot, three black 
sometimes absent streaks in a traceable discal band distally to the cell. Hindwing straw-coloured. Body 
brown, abdomen ochreous yellowish-grey. British East Africa. 
A. lugardi Swh. (26 c). Abdomen pink, ground-colour of forewing purple brown with a dark basal 
line, the white median band similar as in the following rufitincta , but not extending to the hind-margin, a pale 
dentate discal line and the yellow discal spots are present. Hindwing of a pure ochreous-yellow colour. Expanse 
about 35 mm. N’Gamiland, German East Africa. 
A. rufotincta sp. n. (26 c). Forewing more elongate than in lugardi-, an antemedian line, which in 
lugardi is only traceable, is more distinct here, the median belt behind it almost purely white, projecting more 
distally at the posterior angle of the cell, the yellow spot on the posterior edge of the cell is not continued, 
but another similar spot is below the cell, directly proximally to vein 2. The distal portion of the wing 
is whitish-grey, without markings. Hindwing pink, also beneath. Body grey, collar and abdomen pink. 
Expanse: 27 mm. $ type from Kibwezi, British East Africa, 16. X. 1916, in the Tring Museum. 
A. rhodea Hmps. (26 c) resembles rufotincta, it is larger, with a white antemedian band, slantingly 
from the costa, below the cell connected with a white spot at the hind-margin, which is parted by darker streaks. 
A white postmeclian line, expanded into a spot at the costal margin, a series of pink dots on the margin and 
fringe. Hindwing pink with a blackish marginal band. Expanse: 40 mm. South Africa, Delagoa, Bay. 
A. triangulifera Hmps. (26 c, d). Forewing yellow with two transverse lines enclosing a brown belt, 
but being situate much farther distally than in the preceding ones. This belt is strangulated below the cell, 
expanded at the hind-margin and darker, so that an almost triangular darker area is produced here. In the 
discal area some blackish spots. Hindwing straw-coloured yellowish. Body yellowish-grey, abdomen with 
black dorsal and lateral spots. Expanse: 25 mm. To this species probably belongs a $ from the same habitat, 
its forewing being powdered with purple grey, so that yellow spots occur chiefly basally and proximally and 
distally at the median belt. Hindwing in the whole anal half powdered with blackish. British East Africa. 
A. inconspicua Hmps. (26 d). Body dark red-brown, mixed with whitish. Forewing brownish-white, 
powdered with dark brown, veins almost blackish. A dark brown subbasal spot from the costal margin to 
below the cell, antemedian line blackish like the strongly curved postmedian line which is distally bordered 
with white; at the cross-vein a black crescent, a indistinct median line is present. At the costal margin before 
the apex some white spots. Hindwing white, somewhat diaphanous, veins brownish. Expanse: 30 mm. Somali 
Land. 
A. flaveola sp. n. (26 d). Body dark yellow, thorax above yellowish-white, greater part of head red. 
Fore wing white with dark brown markings: a basal dot, 2 subbasal ones at the costal margin and vein 1 b, 
a median irregular band of spots, the postmedian line at the costal margin and vein 5, and on vein 2 
distinct, expanding towards the margin, some marginal spots, also part of the fringe. Cross-vein with a red 
luna. Hindwing quite yellow. Nigeria, $ type from Ilesha in the Tring Museum. 
A. civilis sp. n. (26 d). Body blackish, abdomen dark yellow, basally somewhat pink. Head laterally 
red. Forewing blackish, markings pinkish-white, dull: the base excepting a dot, the antemedian line which 
is connected with the light basal area anti extends to the postmedian band from which it is only separated by 
a narrow line. Postmedian line broad, between veins 2 and 6 extending to the margin, fringe speckled light 
and dark. Hindwing uni-coloirred yellowish-white with a pink tint. $. Type from German East Africa in the 
Berlin Museum. 
A. ganymedes ( Tessm.) Her. (24 f). Body grey, abdomen yellowish-brown, chest and legs red. Forewing 
white; costal margin, distal margin, and cross-vein red. Transverse markings blackish. Hindwing yellowish- 
white. Cameroon. 
A. rubripunctata Weym. (26 d) is similar to ganymedes, the black spots in the forewing are more 
extensive, distal margin only on the veins dotted red and yellow, costal margin only beyond the cell yellowish-red 
Hindwing blackish, at the hind-margin broadly yellowish. East Africa. 
A. diffusa sp. n. Body brownish, beneath and at the abdomen ochreous-yellow. Forewing greyish 
hyaline, mixed with white. Antemedian and postmedian lines black, the latter bordered with white, at the
