334 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



A. esebria f. jacksoni. 



The (^ resembles the type but has tlie f.-w. subapical band 

 rather broader and tawny orange instead of ochreous. 



The 9 has the subapical band \evy broad, tawny, and 

 joining the inner-marginal patch near the end of area 2 leaving 

 only the cell and apex dark, and a somewlmt broken dark 

 central band. The h.-w. marginal band varies in width from 

 about 4 mm., to a mere darkening of the edge. 

 A. esebria f. monteironis. 



^ resembles the ^ psendoprotett but the pale areas are white. 



9. The f.-w. subapical band is very broad formed by six 

 large white spots in 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, and a little above sub- 

 costal. The inner-marginal patch is white and does not extend 

 beyond area 2. The h.-w. is white with a small basal brown 

 suffusion and a broad well-defined hind-marginal border. 

 A. esebria 9 f. nnbilata. 



The darker areas are sepia black. The base of f.-w. cell, 

 the inner-marginal patch, and the basal half of the h.-w, are 

 dark sepia grey. The f.-w. subapical band is greyish white. 



There is a single example of this form in the Oxford 

 collection, taken at Llabisa, in E. Central Zululand. 



A. esebria $ f. ertU. 



This form the type of which has been kindly lent to me by 

 Herr Ertl, was described by Aurivillius as a new species. I 

 am satisfied however that it is in fact a form of esebria, and in 

 this conclusion Professor Aurivillius now concurs. Its most 

 striking feature is the f.-w. subapical band which is very wide 

 and strongly curved. It consists of six elongated spots the 

 inner edge of which traverses the wing at right angles to the 

 costa as far as nervule 4 where it curves round, first inwards 

 and then outwards, reaching nervule 2. The outer ends of 

 these spots are rounded and somewhat separated by nervalar 

 edentations of the ground-colour which, over the apical and 

 hind-marginal areas, is black brown. The cell and the costa 

 above it are brownish grey, followed by a band of black brown 

 from the end of cell to the subapical white. This band occupies 

 the base of area 3 and beneath that tapers to an outwardly 

 curved point in area 2. The inner-marginal patch is tawny 

 and extends inwardly to the base in areas la and lb. The 

 white spot in area 2 is powdered wdth tawny at its basal side. 



H.-w. tawny brown with a narrow black brown hind- 

 marginal border deeply edentate on and between the nervule?.
