3Iale. Upperside. Anterior wings differ from those of A. Johnstoni Godm. 

 in the ground colom-, of the basal three-fourths of the wings being uniformly 

 bright rufous brown ; in place of the two pale tawny spots towards the apex of 

 A. Johnstoni is a broad pale tawny band, divided into four by the veins, which 

 crosses the wings obliquely ; the lowest of the four divisions is elongated 

 outwardly, and inwardly by a narrow line along the upper median nervule 

 to the end of the cell, inside which is a small triangular tawny spot ; the two 

 pale tawny spots on the disc on either side of the lowest median nervule are 

 closer together than in A. Johnstoni ; the pale band on the posterior wings is 

 brighter and better defined on its inner edge by the dark rufous brown basal 

 area. 



Underside. Anterior wings paler than above. Posterior wings with the 

 base bright chocolate brown, edged externally by an irregular row of confluent 

 black spots, a small spot before the precostal nervure and two others at the 

 base ; otherwise as on the tipperside. 



Female. Upperside. Basal half bright rufous brown, followed by a 

 transverse bright tawny band, which crosses the wings from the costa to the 

 inner margin, elongated on each side in the region of the upper median 

 nervule, a minute spot at the end of the cell as in the male, the area 

 beyond the band dark brown ; posterior wings as in the male. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the basal three-fourths paler than on the 

 upperside, the transverse median pale band being scarcely distinguishable.
