200 Mr. H. Eltringliam's Monograph of the 



Underside f.w. Costa and hind margin greyish ochreous, a 

 pale lemon ochreous subapical patch, internervular spaces light 

 ochreous along margin. Remainder of wing as on upperside 

 but paler. 



H.-w. lemon ochreous with spots and markings as in ^ . 



A. anacreon exhibits a certain amount of seasonal 

 dimorphism, dry-season specimens having a tendency to 

 more elongate wings and less pronounced spotting. 



A. anacreon bomba, subsp. 



In this form the wings are usually more rounded, the f.-w. black 

 apical patch is in wet season examples well developed, its inner 

 edge lying more transversely across the wing (width about 5 mm.), 

 the marginal internervular spots are either faintly discernible or 

 obsolete. The discal spot in f.-\v. lb is generally nearer margin 

 than in anacreon anacreon. The most noticeable difference in 

 the h.-w. is the decreased width of the hind-marginal border. 

 The colouring of the underside is much richer than in anacreon 

 anacreon. The f.-w. has the apex greenish ochreous with orange 

 internervular rays. In the h.-w. the space between the discal 

 and sublxasal spots is almost entirely rose jMuk, and between the 

 discal spots and the marginal border the internervular spaces are 

 flushed with orange. There is much more marked seasonal 

 dimorphism in this form, and though the wet season forms 

 (= incluna) are extremely variable there is a general tendency in 

 both sexes to a paler ground-colour and heavily marked black 

 apices in the f.-w. In some wet season forms from near Ft. 

 Jameson all the spots are large and there is a heavy black basal 

 suffusion in h.-w. 



There is on the whole less difference of colour between the 

 sexes, but the $ $ are generally paler and greyer. 



In Proc. Zool. Soc, p. 16, 1910, Neave expresses the 

 opinion that Gr.-Saiith's homha should be kept separate 

 from iniluna. Two dry-season examples, however, taken in 

 N.-W. Rhodesia, agree so nearly with homha that I am con- 

 vinced that the synonymy here adopted is the correct one. 



A. anacreon anacreontica, subsp. 

 This form presents the following features : — 



F.-w. pale ochreous with a basal suffusion of orange ochreous 

 of rather variable extent. Pale apical and hind marginal spots 

 well developed and sharply defined. H.-w. orange ochreous 

 with a narrow black border bearing very distinct pale ochreous 

 spots. Inner ninrgin inclining to pale ochreous. Discal spots
