Professor Aurivillius places this species as a variety of A. Dannini, Voll., but the larger 

 niuuher of spots on the posterior wiugs of both sexes of A. Guva and the different arrangement 

 and size of the sjiots show it to be a distinct species.

Male. Upperside. Anterior wings differ from A. Iinn'mi, Gr.-Sm., in the 

 absence of the cluster of dark scales in the cell, and the more extended rufous 

 colouring of the basal half of the wiugs, which is paler than in A. Jttirina ; on 

 the posterior wiugs it differs from A. Ituriita in the basal rufous colouring being 

 less extended, the discal row of spots is further from the cell, the spots are 

 smaller and the large spot at the end of the cell between the two upper median 

 norvules of A. Iturina is absent.
