228 [March, 



dull orange bands margined with black, one crossing the middle, the 

 other the end of the cell ; a brown lunulated band beyond the cell, ex- 

 tending obliquely outwards from the sub-costal nervure to the first 

 median nervule, and thence vertically downwards to the sub-median 

 nervure ; an indistinct brown wedge-shaped patch near the apex, its 

 base resting on the costa ; apex brown ; outer margin dull ferruginous ; 

 a row of seven brown spots between the nervures near the outer margin, 

 the third and sixth large. 



Ilind-wings — outer margin dull orange ; four ocelli near the outer 

 margin, black pupillated with violet and encircled with orange, two near 

 the apex enclosed in a brown blotch, the lower six times the size of the 

 upper one, a small one between the first and second median, and a large 

 one between the second and third median branches ; inner margin 

 brownish ochreous. 



Body — brown, head and pro-thorax dull ferruginous, antennae black 

 tipped with orange. 



TJnder-side white, hind-margins and nervures orange ochreous. 

 JFore-ioings — base and front margin pale orange ; cell crossed by two 

 white bands margined with brown ; a similar band near the base, between 

 the third median branch and the sub-median nervure ; central band 

 indistinct ; sub-marginal spots well defined, the sixth and seventh large, 

 the sixth with a violet pupil ; sub-marginal bands indistinct, the inner 

 one converted into brown lunules near the anal angle. 



Hind-wings — basal half irregularly irrorated with ochreous scales ; 

 a short wavy brown line near the base, extending from the costa to the 

 sub-costal nervure ; a short brown line below the cell, at the base of the 

 third median nervule, a very irregular large ochreous marking margined 

 with brown within the cell ; an ochreous wavy central line beyond the 

 cell, extending from the costa to the anal angle ; a row of five spots, 

 the first, second, and fifth indistinctly ocellate near the hind-margin; 

 two sub-marginal brown lines, the inner one lunulate, interrupted at 

 the nervures. 



Body — orange ochreous, antennae with a black band near the tip. 



Expanse of wings, 2 inches. 



Hab. : AY. Africa. 



This species bears a general resemblance to Anartia latroplie, Linn. 

 (S. America). I can find no insects in the genus Junonia to which it 

 is closely allied, perhaps the nearest approach to it is J. Imomediay 

 Grodt. (Asia), but it is very distinct even from this.
