The wings of this species are not so brightly coloured as in A. fulgida ; the fascia? 

 are of a lighter brown and less brilliantly violet ; the bands between the dark fasciae, 

 and also the part inside the first band, are yellowish (not yellow), the yellow colour 

 arising from the transverse venulse. These latter are very dense, subcontiguous in this 

 species and the following one.]

Bab. Guiana, Cayenne. 



The wings have very brilliant blackish-violaceous fasciae, separated by orange-yellow 

 bands. The reticulation resembles that of A. brachyptera.~\

§ . Pronotum subparallelum, collo parum longo, antrorsum parum attenuato. Pars postica pronoti utrinque 

 fusco-maculosum et multi-punctatum, marginibns lateralibus inermibus, subtus luteis, tota longitudine 

 fusco-maculatis. Elytra fusco-irrorata, stigmate discoidali corneo-fusco. Alarum campi antici area media 

 lata, per venulas paucas valde remotas quadrato-reticulata. Campus posterior venulis transversis quam in 

 A. brachyptera minus approximatis ; anterius maculis transversis 2 fusco-violaceis, fasciaque inter illas 

 aurantia, fasciis fuscis sequilata. Yenulae macularum flavarum baud multum approximatae. Pemora 

 anteriora intus nigro-irrorata, margine supero subtilissime crenulato. Abdominis segmenta 2 m -4 m apice 

 minute tuberculata, 5 m -7 m elevato-tubereulata. Cerci apice truncati, margine apicali leviter sinuato, 

 angulo superiore rotundato-angulato producto. 



Var. Alse maculis 3 flavis : prima et tertia obsoletis. 



cj . Ala? apice infuscatse, campo postico antice maculis 3 fusco-violaceis, inter illas maculis 2 flavis. 



§ . Long. 91 ; pronot. 39, colli 6*75, femor. ant. 20-25, cere. 5-6, alar. 18*5, elytr. 18*5, latit. elytr. 4'5 millim. 



Hab. Guiaka, Cayenne (Mus. Genavense). 



In this species the wings are wider than in A. brachyptera; the anterior field is 

 rather wider, consequently the medial area is more dilated. The yellow fasciae of 

 the wings are not so bright as in A. fulgida and A. chanvpioni, but dull as in A. brachy- 

 ptera, only formed by the transverse yellow venulae.]
