118 Mr. H. Eltringham's Jfonoffraj^h of the 



base of 5, a subbasal in Ic, beneath it a spot in lb and a dot 

 in la, also a subbasal in the latter aren. 



Head black with a reddish tuft between eyes and two on 

 collar. Tiiorax black above. Basal half of abdomen black 

 above with yellowish lateral spots, remainder orange. Claws 

 unequal. 



$ . Like ^ but with much more rounded f.-w. and somewhat 

 less apical black. 



One $ of this species from Angola in the collection of 

 Herr J. N. Ertl has very little black at apex of f.-w., 

 but the nervule ends are heavily scaled with black. The 

 discal spot in h.-w. area 5 is represented by a mere dot, 

 and is absent in one wing on the upperside. 



I have seen only very few examples of this )-are species, 

 though in many collections a form of A. nohara is labelled 

 guillemei. I was much struck with the rather peculiar 

 arrangement of the h.-w. spots in Oberthtir's guillemei, and 

 (observed that this arrangement corresponded to that in 

 Lathy's aciUipennis. When examining the Staudinger 

 collection 1 found a single example agreeing with Ober- 

 thtir's figure, but it was a $ , and Oberthtir's specimen is 

 described as a c^. I therefore wrote to that author re- 

 questing him to again examine the type, and he informs 

 me that he thinks it is a %. If this be so I cannot doubt 

 that acutipciinis is its male, and I feel sure that the 

 acquisition of further material will confirm this conclusion. 



Whether the substitution, in the Angola example, of 

 black nervules for the f.-w. apical patch as described above 

 be peculiar to that region I have not sufficient material to 

 decide. Staudinger's specimen is merely labelled W, Africa, 

 and so affords no assistance. 



The ^ armature is quite distinctive.
