284 Mr. H. Eltringham's MonograpU of the 



Underside. F.-w. much as above but costa, apex, and hind 

 margin tawny ochreous with blackish nervules and inter- 

 nervular rays. H.-w. base nearly to end of cell reddish tawny, 

 followed by a discal band of pale pinkish ochreous and having 

 a broad, well - defined marginal border of tawny ochreous 

 striated by the black nervule ends and short internervular 

 rays. The reddish basal portion more heavily spotted than is 

 i;sual in penelope. Two spots in 7, the second just beyond 

 origin of nervule 7, and beneath it but slightly nearer margin 

 a spot in 6, and in 5. A dot at base of area 5 on discocellular ; 

 a basal, a central, and a distal spot in cell (the latter may be 

 an aggregation of dots) a spot at base of area 2. Three spots 

 in Ic, the third just l)eneath origin of nervule 2, and beneath 

 it two spots in lb. A subbasal and a distal in la. 



This interesting form is at once distinguished by the 

 tawny red basal area of h.-w. underside which brings into 

 prominence the central pale band, thus producing a close 

 resemblance io jmicleos 23dasgius. The pattern is doubtless 

 modified in mimetic association with that species. 



A. penelope ritrea, subsp. nov. PI. IV, f. 7. 



^. F.-w. Costa, apical area, and hind margin sepia black. 

 Cell and basal portions of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, lb, and la dusted with 

 the same colour. Remainder perfectly transparent with a 

 dusting of orange red in areas 2 and lb, and an orange red 

 linear mark in la. H.-w. orange red, usually with a less 

 extensive basal suffusion, and having a narrower hind-marginal 

 border. 



Underside resembles that of typical penelope. 



The 5 is unknown to me. 

 A. penelope dernhescens, subsp. n. PI. IV, f. .5. 



^. Resembles subsp. viiren, but in the h.-w. the central area 

 is crimson, much reduced in width, and does not reach the 

 costa. A few brown scales can be seen with a lens in areas lb 

 and 2. On the underside of f.-w. the ochreous areas are 

 replaced by pale greenish, and in the h.-w. the basal area and 

 hind margin are pale green, and the central baud creamy white. 



Of this form there are three ^^ in the Berlin Museum. 

 One has the black nervule ends and rays in h.-w. under- 

 side not joined together as they arc in the type figured, 

 and has an additional spot in areas 6 and 5. All three 

 examples were taken at Misahohe Station near Tongbe in 

 Togfoland.
