186 Mr. H. Eltringliam's Jlloyiotjfraph of the 



Rogenhofer's type is specifically identical witli the 

 specimen in the National Collection above described, this 

 must be an error, as the latter example bears a much 

 closer relationship to cahlarena and caccilia. The genital 

 armature is only very slightly different from that of the 

 two species mentioned, that of A. oncaea being of an 

 entirely different form. On the whole I regard it as 

 nearest to A. caecilu/, and the acquisition of" further 

 material may decide whether it is really separate from 

 that species. 



The t3'pc was taken at Bahr-el-Seraf in the Suda,n. 

 The British Museum specimen is merely labelled Victoria

(^ . Expanse 50-62 mm. Wings orange red to rosy red. F.-w. 

 A narrow Ijlack line along costa (rather wider at a])ex) and 

 continued along liind margin to angle. Costa, apical and hind- 

 marginal portion of wing inclining to orange. A slight dusky 

 sufl'usion at base. Ends of nervules rather distinctly black. In 

 the subapical region in areas 4 and 5 (and sometimes slightly in 

 6), a transparent mark caused by a paucity of scales. This 

 transparent marking may be almost absent in dry season 

 examples. Black spots as follows : — A large, transverse, irregularly 

 shaped spot in cell above origin of 2, and a l)hick mark on disco- 

 cellulars, usually on upper part but sometimes over whole width 

 of end of cell. Beyond cell and just before the transparent 

 marks a discal row of fine spots in 10, 6, 5, 4, and 3, the first 

 sometimes absent, and the last sometimes very small. The 

 three middle spots almost in a straight line, the first rather more 

 distally placed, the fifth with its long axis pointing towards 

 apex. In 2 a spot close to median (absent in one example). In 

 lb a dis(al spot below that in 2 and slightly nearer margin, and
