Abyssinia (Gara Daij, Abulcassim, Schoa, Dara R., Malo, 



KaflFa). 



A. sajie aafic. 



^. Expanse 44-45 mm. F.-w. brown black. Beyond cell 

 a series of four translucent spots, dusted with ochreous. The 

 first very small in area 9, the remainder large, subquadrate, 

 and separated only by nervules 5 and 6. At base of area 2 a 

 large ochre yellow spot, and beneath it in lb a somewhat 

 larger patch of the same colour. 



H.-w. brown black with a central band of ochre yellow, ex- 

 tending from costa almost to inner margin, the portion above 

 nervule 4 being some 2 mm. broader than the remainder. 



Underside. F.-w. Central portion greyish brown. Costa, 

 apex, and hind margin pale oclireous, striated by narrowly 

 black nervules and rays. The subapical spots white, those in 

 2 and lb as above but paler. 



H.-w. pale dusky ochreous, with the central band as above 

 but paler. Hind-marginal border striated by very narrowly 

 darkened nervules and rays. A few very small black spots 

 so variable in numl)er as to be of little use as a character. 

 When two are present in cell, the second is situated before the 

 origin of nervule 2. 



Head and thorax black with a few pale markings. Abdomen 

 black above with pale ochreous lateral dots. Claws equal. 



9 . I have not seen a 9 corresponding to this form. 



A. safie f. antinorii. 



This form differs from typical examples principally in having 

 the spots and h.-w. band much reduced. In one example 

 before me there are three small whitish sulmpical spots, a small 

 ochreous mark at base of area 2, and beneath it a very slight 

 trace of ochreous in lb. The h.-w. is all brown black with 

 just a few ochreous scales in area 6. A trace of such scales 

 may also be discerned with a lens in areas 7 and b. 



Underside extremely variable. In one example before me 

 it is much as in the type forin. In a second the h.-w. is all 

 dull greyish ochreous, slightly darker on the hind-marginal 

 border, whilst in a third the basal portion of h.-w. is dull
