apical black, rather broader. H.-w. marginal black, broader 

 and heavier. Dorsal part of abdomen black, with yellowish 

 lateral spots. 



9. Intermediate between wet and dry. F.-w. coffee brown 

 at base, outer half ochreous. H.-w. almost entirely suffused 

 with black. Spots as in ^J . Underside proportionately duller. 



5 . Wet season. Smoky black, spots esjaecially in h.-w. only 

 just distinguishable. Subapical part of f.-w. smoky ochreous. 

 Underside f.-w. smoky ochreous at base, outer half dull ochreous. 

 H.-w. dull red. Base of cell and Ic pale sage green, marginal 

 black arches enclosing pale sage green spots. Abdomen black 

 above with white lateral spots. 

 A. acrita ambiyna, subsp. 



^. Dry season. Distinguished from (((•/•i7(( »c;'/7'( principally 

 by tlie increased width of the apical black in the f.-w. which 

 is about 6 mm. wide. Extreme examples may have only the 

 cell sjjot and the discocellular spots in f.-w., and the black arclies 

 of h.-w. margin are often obsolescent towards the anal angle. 

 On the underside the h.-w. is without the internervuhir red 

 splashes in the discal area. The f.-w. subapical area is usually 

 paler than in acrita acrita. 



^ . Wet season. Differs from the dry form in the same way 

 as the corresponding forms of acrita acrita. 



9 . Dry season. Resembles the (J but is duller coloured and 

 has more rounded wings. 



9. Wet season. Similarly marked to the ^ l)ut the ground- 

 colour dusky grey and the f.-w. subapical area white. 



Tiie figure of the $ of this form accompanying Trimen's 

 original description is a somewhat abnormal examjjle 

 combining some of the dry-season red with the white sub- 

 apical bar of the wet season. 



A. acrita bellona, subsp. PI. Y, f. 4. 



(J. Dry season. Easily distinguished from all the other forms 

 by the very large size of the spots in cell, on discocellulars, 

 and in area 2. These spots, especially in wet season $ ? iiiay 

 be so large as to become confluent. In addition to this dis- 

 tinction the f.-w. is more pointed and the apical black is 7 to 

 8 mm. broad. Occasional very dry (J (^ may be rather difficult 

 to distinguish from wet (J o of ambigiia, though the spots 

 referred to seem never to be reduced quite to the size of those 

 in the latter subspecies. There is the same absence of red 

 splashes on the underside. 



(^ . Wet season. Differs little in ground-colour from the dry
