iiervuves liroadcr tlian in nUjh-cnn : fnnr costal l)lack dots as in ulhiceiiu, ratlicr 

 heavily bordered with white; three separate spots behind the median vein, the first 

 small and round, the second transverse, especially in $, the third also transverse 

 and angle-shaped; an oblique line at hinder margin; a very narrow border to hinder 

 margin as well as fringe at hinder margin and hinder angle up to vein 2 (J) or 3 

 (?) white. Hindwing with a black onter border as in cenalba, but the border is 

 narrower; in c? an indistinct spot at the end of the cell, traces of postmedian spots 

 between veins 5 and 6 and behind vein 2, and an indistinct spot near anal angle, 

 blackish; in ? with the spots seldom indicated ; fringe white, anteriorly mostly 

 mottled with black. 



Underside : forewiug in t? with a white patch of 3 mm. length behind the cell 

 between veins 2 and 3, and with two more patches of small size between veins 3 and 5; 

 there are also a few white scales outside the apex of the cell, especially in or before 

 the areole: the posterior region of the wing as far as it is covered by the hindwing 

 also white; in ? the white colour much more extended, and there is a large white 

 patch in the apical half of the cell; at the basal side of this i)atch there stands a 

 black spot or patcli ; the white colour forms a rather broad white macular band out- 

 side the cell. Hindwing in 6 with the discal black markings distinct, the anal 

 mark merged together with the marginal band; there is a spot in the centre of the 

 cell, to which is sometimes joined a short line at the base ; the cellule formed by 

 veins 7 and 8 is white only to the apex of the median cell ; in ? there is a short 

 line at the base, a spot in the centre, and a larger, mostly divided, mark at the apex 

 of the cell, and sometimes also one or two postmedian spots and an anal one. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above bright orange. Prothoracic lobes without 

 lilack dots; black spots on mesothoracic lobes round, in ? with white scales in front; 

 mesothorax with a black dot in middle line, and often with white scales in centre; 

 abdominal segments 2 to 7 with transverse black spots, which are larger in <? than in 

 ? , reaching down in two specimens to the stigmata. Front of head and underside 

 of abdomen white, the latter with a row of black round spots on each side; palpi 

 black, inner side and part of underside of tirst and second joints white. 



Forewing: length 33 mm.; breadth 13?. mm. 



The harpe is slenderer and longer than that of A. Iieliconia, and not asym- 

 metrical at the apex; it is about half tlie breadth of the harpe of A. nlbivemi. 



Hah. (Celebes: S. Celebes (W. Doherty, August and September IS91), 4 S, 

 6 ?; Samanga, S. Celebes (H. Frnhstorfer, November 1890), 1 c?, 2 ?; Dongala, 

 Palos Bay (W. Doherty, August and September 1896), 1 c?. 



The forewing is similar in shape to that of A. productu-, the hinder angle is 

 strongly rounded, so that the onter margin of the wing appears to be much longer 

 than ill allied species. W. 1>.
