separated. Antennae of strongly pectinated to the middle, in the 9 shortly dentate. The marking often 
similar to that of the palaearctic genus Zeuzerci. The species, excepting boisduvalii, differ in the marking and 
mostly in size from the genus Phragmatoecia. Theoretical differences, however, can hardly be stated. Type: 
scalaris F. 
A. boisduvalii H.-Schaff. (79 e). Thorax and forewing ochreous. Forewing in the interior area with boisduvalii. 
numerous reddish-brown transverse bands which are broken up into spots in the marginal area. Abdomen 
brownish white, hindwing almost white. 32—45 mm. Senegal, Togo, Niger and Nyassa Districts, East Africa. 
A. hova Le Cerf (79 d). Body brownish-white. Forewing white with light ochreous brown transverse hova. 
streaks except below the cell in the proximal half. A more intense streak from the middle of the inner margin 
to the costal margin separates the distal more intensely marked portion. Below the cell near the base an 
irregular spot. At the costal margin fine and irregular streaks. Hindwing dingy white, in the distal half finely 
latticed dark. $ 60 mm. Madagascar. 
A. scalaris F. (= bivittata Wkr.) (79 f). White, thorax edged with orange. Black striation through scalaris. 
the centre of the cell to below the apex, this stripe being hued with orange. Above the inner margin likewise 
intensely striated, and the inner margin itself finely yellow. In the submedian area only feeble streaks. Hindwing 
and abdomen white. 40- 56 mm. West, Central, and East Africa, Angola. It occurs also in India. 
A. leopardina Dist. (= borchmanni Griinbg.) (79 cl). Yellowish-white. Thorax with large black spots leopardina. 
similar as in Zeuz. piyrina. Fore wing as far as the end of the cell with large black spots, behind it with smaller 
ones, hindwing with still smaller paler spots. In borchmanni the spotting in the cell is somewhat less distinct. 
45—58 mm. South-West Africa, Transvaal. 
A. aurivillii dalla Torre (= liturata Aur.) (79 f). White. Spots on thorax similar as in leopardina. The aurivillii. 
black marking is the most intense below the cell as far as the inner margin, less so at the costal margin, 
with small marginal dots. Hindwing white with feeble marginal dots. 42—55 mm. South-West Africa. 
A. asylas Cr. (= strigulosa Wkr. ) (79 f). Yellowish-white, also purely white or orange. Forewing finely asylas. 
and purely striated black, only the cell and the space behind it remain white. Hindwing white, not marked. 
Some specimens also exhibit the hindwing finely striated brown. 42—50 mm. Central Africa, Betchuana Land, 
Natal, Transvaal. — sponda Wllgrn. is presumably identical with asylas just like albovittata B.-Bak. 3 diminutive 
specimens from the Gold Coast have an expanse of only 20—25 mm. 
A. aburae Plotz (79 f). White. Patagia black, margined somewhat orange. Forewing densely striated dburae. 
black, narrowly below the costal margin, more broadly under the cell, though leaving the inner margin free. 
The streaks are continued a little on both sides by orange lines. Hindwing purely white. 42 mm. East Africa. 
A. melanonephele Hmps. (79 f). Yellowish-white, patagia with an orange spot. Forewing with orange melano- 
streaks. Costal margin black from the base to the centre, where it is widened and connected with a spot at nephele. 
the cross-vein, the spot being besides connected with a faded oblique band to the margin below the apex. At 
the costal margin a spot behind the middle and smaller preapical ones. At the anal angle slightly darkened. 
Hindwing in the distal area in front slightly darkened. $ 40—48 mm. Niger District. 
A. inclusa Wkr. (= petax Wllgrn., kilimandjarae Le Cerf) (79 f, g). Yellowish-white. Patagia without inclusa. 
a black margin. On the fore wing the black streaks reach the inner margin and also traverse the area behind 
the cell. The orange streaks also run through the cell. Hindwing white, at the distal margin often finely latticed 
dark. Of frequent occurrence are specimens that are intensely darkened greyish-brown. On the forewing the 
darkening extends from the inner margin to vein 3, the stripe between the two inner-marginal veins being 
mostly light in the middle. A dark stripe extending from below the apex a little into the apex, and at vein 4 
somewhat darkened. In extreme specimens only the anterior half of the cell as far as the apex light. Hindwing 
then mostly more intensely latticed dark. 32 60 mm. A diminutive specimen from Abyssinia has an expanse 
of only 20 mm. East Africa. Usambara, South-West Africa, Natal. 
A. flavitincta Hmps. (79 g). Body red-brown. Forewing brownish-grey, densely latticed red-brown, flavitinda. 
Costal margin at the base and the submedian fold reddish-yellow, the striation being black there. From below 
the apex a dark patch inwards. Hindwing pale brown. Fringes on both wings spotted brown and white. $ 
50 mm. East Africa. The specimen figured is presumably this species though it differs a little from the description. 
A. nubilosa Hmps. (79 g). Ground-colour reddish-brown, suffused with blackish-brown except at the nubilosa. 
costal margin of the forewing, the dark areas slightly latticed black. Hindwing white, in the marginal area 
latticed dark. Fringe spotted white and blackish-brown. $ 75 mm. Uganda. 
A. tandoensis B.-Bak. Forewing pale brownish, at the costal margin darker. Between the veins, from tandoensis. 
vein 2 to the costal margin dark brown ruffled lines. In the submedian fold a short bent shadow. Hindwing 
grey with fine reticulate lines. The $ is paler. 52—72 mm. Angola.
