In coloration of body and legs closely agreeing with A. auriguttata HopflF. 

 (1857). The spots of the forewiug more nnmerous and paler, distributed as follows : 

 two in cell, two or three between cell and apex, one between third radial and first 

 median veins, two between the median veins, four in front of snbmedian vein, and 

 two or three at hindmargin ; tlie proximal spots pale metallic golden, the distal 

 ones cream-colonr. In cJ the hindwing with a creamy tear-shaped spot below 

 the cell (type). 



5. Arniocera elata spec. nov.

 mnlto major qnam A. auriguttata Hopff. (1n57); alis anticis nigris viridi-cyaneo

AI ant. long : i 18 mm., ? 2U mm. 



Hab. Manow, German East Africa, 1 S and 2 ? ? , received from Messrs. 

 Staudinger & Bang-Haas. 



Much larger than A. auriguttata Hopff. (1857), with which it agrees in the 

 general style of colouring. Head, palpi, forecoxae, all the tibiae and in S also 

 the tip of the abdomen (tip of 8th segment), in ? a trace of a red anal spot a 

 brilliant carmine, a spot on the frons, the third segment of the palpi, and the bases 

 and apices of the tibiae black. 



Wings, upperside : forewing narrower in proportion to its length than in 

 A. auriguttata, with four glossy golden spots, all edged with metallic blue, two of 

 them placed before the hindmargin, the first large, connected with costa by a 

 metallic blue bar, another metallic blue costal spot close to base large ; second 

 golden spot beyond middle, rounded, much smaller than the first; in one of our 

 two ? ? the two connected on the left wing ; third golden spot in cell proximally to 

 apex, its metallic edging extended to costa, between this spot and the first a 

 metallic blue costal spot ; fourth golden spot 1-2 mm. outside apex of cell, 

 transverse, extending from below costa to below R' (in S) or M' (in ? ?) ; distal 



marginal area more or less shaded with metallic blue. Hindwing glossy blue, in 



<? marked with blue-black in proximal half and on disc, a metallic band from anal 

 angle forward and a subapical spot being more glossy in S than rest of hindwing. 



Underside pnrplisii-bhie in cJ, the forewing particularly dark purple, in ? 

 greenish bine ; forewing with the cell-spot and discal one as above, but not glossy. 



Subcostals 4 and 5 of forewing on a long stalk, which is longer than the branches. 



In S the radiating hairs of the hindtibia dark brown, not creamy-white as in 

 A. auriguttata. Anal claspers of S pale yellow.
