Acraa Macheijuena, Henley Grose Smith, " Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 Hi.story,"*ser. 5, vol. 19, p. 62 (January, 1887). 



Exp. 2 inches. 



•' Male. Upperside. Anterior wings transparent, clouded with hrown 

 from the hase to the end of the cell, and below it to the inner angle. 



■• Posterior wings brown, a row of seven lunular black spots on the margin ; 

 beneath each lunule is a small brown spot on the margin ; from the centre of 

 the costal margin to the centre of the hind margin is an irregular row of eight 

 distinct small black spots, within which is a cluster of six spots near the base, 

 also distinct. 



" UxDEESiDE as above, but paler. 



"The female closely resembles J. Manamlaza of "Ward, while the male is 

 very close to J. jF?aHarfl/ona of Boisduval. The male and female having been 

 taken in copula, it would appear clear that J. Manandaza and A. Eanavalona are 

 also sexes of the same species. J. Machequena differs from them in the colour 

 of the male, and in the size of the spots on the posterior wings, which are 

 smaller and distinct, not confluent as in J. Ranavaluna, and the marginal row 

 of spots is neai-er to the margin. I am not aware that J. Eanavalona or 

 J. J/anandaza [which are common in Madagascar] have been taken on the main 

 land." (H. G. S., he. cit.)

''Female. Eppekside. Both wings semitransparent, bright rosy-brown
