170 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



black. At inner edge of apical and marginal black a series nf 

 orange spots large at apex and becoming smaller towards hind 

 angle. Neuration black. Black spots as follows : — One in cell 

 over origin of nervule 2. A double spot on discocellulars. 

 Beyond end of cell an obliqiie band of spots the first (sometimes 

 ■wanting in 10), the second, third, and fourth in 6, 5, and 4, in 

 a straight line at right angles to costa, the fifth in 3 slightly- 

 nearer margin. A spot near base of area 2 and beneath it a 

 spot in lb. In the latter area a dot midway between base and 

 origin of nervule 2. H.-w. rosy pink slightly blackened at base, 

 and having a black hind-marginal border bearing indications 

 of slightly paler internervular marks, its inner edge slightly 

 sinuate. Black spots corresponding to those beneath but often 

 only faintly indicated. 



Underside f.-w. almost devoid of scales except at base, on 

 spots, and on apex and hind margin. Otherwise as above. 



H.-w. dull pinkish ochreous with a few reddish marks at 

 base. Marginal border formed of rather heavy black arches on 

 a fine black marginal line enclosing pale dull ochreous spots. 

 Black spots as follows :^An outer series of nine. The first in 7 

 just beyond origin of nervule 7, second in 6 nearer margin, third 

 in 5 still more distal, fourth in 4 touching cell, fifth in 3 a short 

 distance from its base, sixth in 2 near its base, seventh in Ic 

 nearer margin, eighth in lb nearer base, ninth small, in la, still 

 nearer base. One in 9, one in 8, a subbasal in 7, two in cell 

 (the second just before origin of nervule 2), a ba?al and a sub- 

 basal in Ic and lb, and a subbasal in la. A spot at base of 

 area 5 on discocellular. 



Head black with a whitish tuft between eyes and two on 

 collar. Thorax black with a few whitish marks, basal half 

 of abdomen black above with yellowish lateral spots, remainder 

 whitish with a yellow terminal tuft. Claws unequal. 



9 . Expanse 60-64 mm. F.-w. slightly more rounded at 

 apex than in ^ . Colouring varies from a condition resembling 

 the ^ but slightly duller, to one in which the pink areas are 

 replaced by grey, the outer half of h.-w. being white. Spots as in 

 ^ . Abdomen entirely black above with large white lateral spots. 



I have seen but few examples from Somalilaiid, but 

 these differ in the following points: — 



(J. F.-w. almost entirely transj^arent except for the spots and 

 marginal and apical black and orange. The spot in area 3 is 

 absent. The h.-w. is rose pink, sometimes with a slight tend- 

 ency to white sulfusiou.
