Underside. With the pale tawny band on the anterior wings indistinct, 

 and divided by the dark brown bar as on the upperside. Posterior wings dull 

 brown, with the disc crossed by a very indistinct paler area ; seven minute spots 

 in the basal area, of which one is in the cell, two above and four below it.

Nearest to A. Gydotiia and A. Flava, but smaller than either of those species.

Mule. Upperside, Anterior wings dark brown, with a transverse rather 

 bright tawny band from the costa crossing the end of the cell, thence becoming 

 wider to the inner margin, below the lowest median nervule extending outwardly 

 to the outer angle, and inwardly, below the submedian nervure, nearly to the 

 base ; towards the apex is a bright tawny spot near the costa, divided into three 

 by the veins, and a quadrate spot above the upper median nervule nearer the 

 outer margin. Posterior wings bright tawny, becoming dusky at the base. 



Underside. Dusky pale brown, with the transverse tawny band less distinct, 

 beyond which is a broad brownish-black irregular band crossing the wings 

 obliquely from the costa at the end of the cell to the middle median nervule, 

 where it terminates some distance from the outer margin ; the subapical spots 

 beyond it are less distinct. Posterior wings with the disc crossed by an indistinct 

 irregularly undulated dusky brown ])and, inside which but outside the cell are 

 two small black spots, a similar spot in the middle of the cell, two in the inter- 

 space above the subcostal nervure, one on the shoulder, and six or seven others 

 near the inner margin below the base of the cell.

I described this specimen as a female, but on further examination I believe it to be the 

 male. Possil)ly it is the male of the next species.
