wing orange-carmine with some brown spots at the base and a transverse band of 
five black spots at the middle; the outer margin broadly black, traversed by a band 
of seven rufous spots. 
Unpersips. Anterior wing as above, except that the apex is not brown. Pos- 
terior wing carmine, with nimeteen black spots, bordered irregularly with white; the 
submarginal spots larger, white. 
Female like the male, except that it is rufous-brown above.

ACRAA ACARA. 19, 20. . 
Uppersipe rufous; the base of both wings dark brown. Anterior wing with a

middle to the anal angle, all dark brown. Posterior wing with two bands of spots 
and the outer margin which is broad, black. 
UnpersipE as above, except that the anterior wing near the apex and the 
posterior wing are carmine-white, and that there are minute spots of white at the

This may be only an extraordinary variety of A. Menippe. When we know more of Africa and 
its entomological productions, we shall, I believe, find that the Acreeas and the Lepidoptera generally 
vary more than those of other parts of the world.
