(Some examples of asholojilinfha have green h.-w. marginal 



spots, but this species is quite unlike any other iovm of 



Acraea.) 

 H.-w. hind marginal border on underside with enclosed spots (e) 



(e) The black or dark colour enclosing spots is not produced 



inwardly to form a bifurcated internervular mark or ray 

 and the spots are submarginal, or, if marginal, tlie li.-w. 

 also bears discal spots . . . . . . • (/) 



The black or dark colour enclosing spots is usually produced 

 inwardly forming a bifurcated ray the submarginal portion 

 of which may contain or consist of, red or yellowish streaks. 

 The spots are always marginal. Or if the border is sharply 

 defined black with marginal spots, and without inward 

 processes, then the h.-w. has no discal spots . . VIII 



* The following are included in this section of key although 

 owing to variability some examples are partially transparent. 



Aglaouice sometimes, amicitiae, and most examples of duuhledani 

 have a partly transparent subapical patch. 



Pudorella and equaUirinlis imaemia are sometimes so thinly 

 scaled as to be partially transparent.
