and white marking's of the aklominal fold and tlie transverse black line which stands 

 between the abdominal margin and vein 2 at the basal side of the eye-spot. 



Forewing somewhat narrower in apical half than in polliix.

 I. AV. Ansorge). 



Named in hononr of the collector, who has lately discovered a good many of 

 very interesting forms of butterflies and moths. The white band of the npperside 

 of the hindwiug distinguishes this species at a glance from pollux. 



(!. Nudaurelia rendalli sp. nov. 



? . Uppersidc : forewing saifron-yellow, dnsted over witli black scales ; with 

 two narrow tricolorous bands ; one in the basal half, at the costa 10 mm. from the 

 base, 3 mm. broad, straight from costa to snbmedian fold, where it turns at a right 

 angle towards the hinder margin of the wing, which it reaches at a distance of 9 mm. 

 from the base : the colours of the three lines composing the band are greyish black 

 (inner line), white (middle line), vinaceous rufous (outer line) ; the second band is of 

 the same width as the subbasal one, and consists also of three lines, but the order of 

 the colours of the lines is inverted, the lines being vinaceous rufous, white, and 

 greyish black respectively ; the band starts at the costa 38 mm. from the base and 

 reaches the hindmargin of the wing at a distance of 23 mm. from the base ; it is 

 almost parallel to the outer margin of the wing, but is between the veins rounded 

 outward, and upon the veins augnlate (the points of the angles directed towards the 

 base). Upon the discocellnlar veinlets there is an eye-sjwt of Tt mm. width; it has 

 a small diaphanons centre which is surrounded by a broad ring of hazel, upon 

 which follow three very thin rings of maroon, bufi-pink, and vinaceous rufous. 



The hindwing has the same bands as the forewing, but the subbasal one is very 

 indistinct, the blackish line alone being obvious; the wing is saffron-yellow outside 

 the exterior band ; the rest of the wing is vinaceous rufous, becoming somewhat 

 yellowish at the abdominal margin. The eye-spot has a diameter of 9 mm.; it is 

 similar to that of the forewing, but the exterior rings are somewhat different, the 

 colours being (from outside) : white ring, somewhat broader vermilion-red ring, a 

 thin black ring, a broad vinaceous ciunamon ring, and a diaphanous central spot. 

 The (inner) vinaceous rufous line of the outer band is merged together with the 

 vinaceous rufous colour of the disc. 



Underside : forewing without the subbasal band ; the outer band and the eye- 

 spot as above, but less clearly marked ; the whole wiug from the base to the outer 

 band washed over with vinaceous rufous. Hindwing from base to outer band very 

 faintly washed witli vinaceous rufous ; the inner (vinaceous rufous) line of the outer 

 band distinctly marked : the eye-spot without an outer white ring ; subbasal baud 

 absent. 



Body saffron-yellow. Antennae, tibiae in I'nnif, and tarsi black. 



E.xjianse : forewing, length 64 mm., breadth 30 mm.

Tliis species is distantly allied to Aiithemea anna Maass. & Weym. from 

 Mombasa, which insect I know only from the (most probably incorrect) figure.
