upper surface. The portion of this band in the interspace at the end of the dis- 

 coidal space suffuses outwards a sixteenth inch towards hind margin. Above 

 the end of this, in apical area, are two tawny spots. These spots might be con- 

 sidered a portion of the band, but broken from it by an area of the ground color. 

 The basal half of the wing, within the tawny band, is rich brown, excepting 

 four black lines which cross the discoidal space in pairs, and a slight dash of 

 black close to base. This dash is repeated in less degree in the next lower in- 

 terspace. The pair of black lines next beyond this dash enclose a small space 

 of dark tawny ; these lines are repeated in the first submedian interspace. 



The upper side of lower wing is of the same ground color, crossed by a very 

 prominent band of white, an extension of the tawny band of the fore wing, and 

 tapering somewhat as it approaches anal angle. The outer edge of this band at 

 its upper portion is lightly dusted with tawny scales. The marginal area outside 

 of this band is rich brown, crossed by three bands or lines of black parallel to 

 one another and following the dentated contour of the hind margin. They join 

 at the anal angle, where there is a prominent tawny spot. The inner marginal 

 area is of the ground color. 



On the under side of fore wing the tawny band of upper surface is nearly 

 white, with suffusions of tawny. The discoidal space is white, crossed by two 

 heavy bands of tawny, edged with black. The costa is tawny. Subcostal 

 space near base is white. The hind margin is slightly edged with black, within 

 which is a tawny marginal band, becoming white in the two lower interspaces. 

 Within this, at the apex, are two indistinct whitish spots, one below the other, 

 and there are three more prominent white spots in the three lower interspaces. 

 At the apex, nearer the base than these two whitish spots, are two more larger 

 ones, representing the two tawny spots of the upper surface. The general 

 ground color is blackish, with tawny suffusions. 



The markings of under side of hind wing are the same in location and limita- 

 tion as on the upper surface. The general coloring, however, is much lighter. 

 The white band of upper surface is repeated, showing no suffusion from sur- 

 rounding areas. Nearer the base is a tawny band running from costa to anal 

 angle. This band is edged with black. Nearer the base is a white band which 

 runs from costa downwards along inner margin, edged with tawny black. The 

 hind marginal area is brown, with a double row of interspacial white lines near 

 the margin, and a band of tawny, edged with black on its basal side, extends 

 from upper angle to anal angle, where it meets the tawny band first mentioned. 

 At their junction they broaden somewhat into a bright tawny anal spot. 



This species is in the same group as, and resembles closely, A. 

 aethalia Feld. and A. thesprotia Feld.
