272 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



areas 4 and 3. A central curved band of ivory white narrowest 

 at costa. 



Underside. F.-w. as on upperside, dark areas replaced by 

 dusky ochreous, the nervule ends and rays darker. H.-w. basal 

 area as far as central band, and hind-marginal border, dusky 

 ochreous ; nervule ends and rays blackish. Central band as on 

 upperside but rather narrower. 



Up to the present I have only seen examples of this 

 form from Fernando Po. There is a small series in the 

 S. Kensington Museum and it also occurs in the Tring 

 collection. 



A . pe^ieleoti 9 f. sepki. 



Expanse 60 mm. F.-w. costa, apex, hind margin, and inner 

 margin dark sepia brown. Remainder' of wing semitransjvarent, 

 powdered with dark scales. Traces of whitish scales in areas 2 

 and lb. H.-w. sepia brown with a sligbt powdering of reddisli 

 scales especially just beyond end of cell, and at inner edge of 

 hind-marginal border. The latter a still darker brown. Inner 

 margin ochreous. 



Underside. F.-w. as above but brown replaced by dusky 

 ochreous, striated by dark nervule ends and rays. H.-w. basal 

 portion dull greenish ochreous, followed by a curved central 

 band of dusky wdiite. Hind-marginal border about 5 mm. 

 wide, dusky ochreous, inwardly edged with sepia brown, and 

 striated by brown nervule ends and rays. Spots as in typical 

 forms but none in 4 and 3. 



This form also seems to be peculiar to Fernando Po. 

 A fine series of specimens in the British Museum collection, 

 received by the late Mr. Hewitson from the locality named, 

 show a gradation from ordinary forms of ^, through f. 

 lactimaculata to f .sepia, with nuinerous intermediates. 



A. peneleos pelasgius, subsp. PL IV, f. 2 ( (J ). 



(J. Expanse 45-56 mm. F.-w. sepia black. Cell and base of 

 area 2 and lb rather thinly scaled and partially transparent. 

 Beyond cell the basal portions of areas 6, 5, and 4 are still more 

 transparent especially outwardly, and there is a small semi- 

 transparent patch in 2 often with a few pinkish scales in the 

 centre. In the middle of area 2 a large rounded spot rather 

 thinly scaled with pale orange red, beneath this a similar but 

 rather larger sjiot in lb, and a linear mark of the same colour 

 in la.
