  ; 
  a 
  subovate 
  spot 
  between 
  

   the

  median 
  nervules 
  at 
  their 
  junction 
  with 
  the 
  discocellular 
  nervulo, 
  

   and 
  a 
  large 
  broad 
  V-shaped 
  spot 
  below

  base 
  below 
  the 
  costal 
  nervure, 
  and 
  two 
  very 
  large 
  patches 
  

   beyond, 
  the 
  outermost 
  of 
  which 
  extends 
  from 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  over 
  the 
  inter- 
  

   space 
  between 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  subcostal 
  nervules, 
  the 
  other 
  spots 
  nearly 
  as

   velvety 
  spot

  angle, 
  crowned 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  bluish-grey 
  scales 
  ; 
  all 
  the 
  

   spots

   except 
  the 
  space 
  below 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  ncrvule

   anterior 
  wings,

  is 
  greyish-brown. 
  

  

  One 
  specimen 
  only. 
  

  

  The 
  underside 
  has 
  a 
  strong 
  superficial 
  resemblance 
  to 
  A. 
  Aminda, 
  but 
  the 
  

   very 
  large 
  subcostal 
  brown 
  spots 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  at 
  once 
  distinguish 
  it 
  

   from 
  that 
  species, 
  while 
  on 
  the 
  upperside 
  it 
  bears 
  no 
  resemblance 
  to 
  it.
