128 Mr. H. Eltringliam's Monograph of the 



spots, their bases towards the margin. Black spots as follows : — 

 One in 8, two in 7, beyond the latter a spot in 6 followed by 

 spots in 4, 2, If, and lb, all of which lie in an almost straight 

 line at right angles to inner margin. Two spots in cell, the 

 second at origin of nervule 2. A basal and a subbasal in Ic and 

 lb, and a basal, a subbasal and a distal spot in la. 



Head brown, thorax black, abdomen black above with yellow- 

 ish lateral spots. Claws unequal. 



$. Slightly smaller. Pale dull ochreous. F.-w. with a 

 brownish basal suffusion, apical black rather broader than 

 in (^ , but all the spots absent except that on end of cell, 

 and tlie second of the discal row (this very minute). H.-w. with 

 faint dusky basal sutl'usion ; spots absent or very faint. Hind- 

 marginal black narrower (in middle) than in male. 



Underside. F.-w. paler than on upperside, the two spots 

 just visible but the apical black only faintly represented. 

 H.-w. with only a faint trace of the discal spots ; basal spots 

 small and indistinct ; hind -marginal black 2-5 mm. wide, not 

 dentate, bearing greyish white submarginal spots, smaller and less 

 distinct than in ^ . Abdomen black with whitish spots. 



Of this interesting little species I have seen only the 

 ^ and ^ above tiescribed. They were taken on the 

 Lofu River in N.E. Rhodesia (4,000 it.) by Neave. The 

 species is closely allied to A. vmrora. Trim., and indeed 

 I should have regaixled it as a form of that species, but 

 for the peculiar structure of the male armature which 

 bears a supplementary pair of processes between the 

 harpes.
