clayish ochriiceons. The median band of the forewing; and the central area of the 

 hindwiug are jmre white. The former is straight, with the inner edge dentate 

 before M' and ftP, and the outer slightlj- incised at the veins, and reaches from 

 the snbcostals across the lower angle of the cell to a very little beyond M-, its 

 width varying only from 5 to 6 mm. (measured at right angles to its edges, not 

 along the veins). The patch of the hindwiug is ronnded, its posterior partition 

 (between SM- and SM') being bnff-yellow ; it enters the apex of the cell, but 

 does not reach to R'', its width along M^ being 12 mm., the black border 

 measuring 6'5 mm. at this vein. 



On the II 11(1 I' r aide the band of the forewing is longer, reaching nearly to SM^, 

 and is posteriorly somewhat shaded with buff at its outer edge, the margins of 



the band being also more even than above. The patch of the hindwing reaches 



to R^, being truncate in front, and its inner edge slightly incnrved ; the posterior 

 partition is orange, and the edge of the patch is orange-bnff at veins M' and M". 

 From M' forward to R' there is a postdiscal row of three white dots, the corre- 

 sponding dots from M^ backward being merged together with the white patch, 

 there also being a snbmarginal row of five white dots from R^ backward.

cJ. The i resembles in size and markings A. weiskei Roths., Nob. Zool. 

 viii. p. 218. no. 2. tab. x. fig. 2 (1901), from British New Guinea. The forewing, 

 however, bears an orange band in the centre of about 1 mm. width, extending 

 from close to the costal edge to vein M^, and being twice interrupted. The 

 white postdiscal spots are larger than in weiskei. There is an orange streak in 



front of the hindmargin. The last submargiual and marginal black spots of the 



hindwing are absent or vestigial. 



The underside is deeper black-brown than in ^1. weiskei. The two bands of 

 the forewing are pure white, with a slight tawny tinge on the anterior veins and 



a distinct orange spot on the posterior ones. On the hindwing the orange area 



is of a purer colour, the black and white submargiual markings are somewhat 

 smaller, the inner row of white spots of these markings is continued to the 

 costal edge by three spots ; the row of whitish discal spots, which stands about 

 halfway between the cell and the submargiual markings, is less prominent, and 

 the posterior spots of this row are less luniform, than in A. weiskei. 



¥ . This sex is quite diiierent from that of .1. weiskei (we have a good series 

 of both sexes of weiskei). It resembles the cJ very closely, but has larger and 

 rounder wings. 



The underside is paler, and hence shows brown spots, which disappear in the
