252 Mr. v® Riley’s Notes on 
Underside, both wings: the ground-colour clearer, yellow, not 
having such a grey appearance. Fore-wing: all spots heavier, 
larger and brighter. Hind-wing : the spots all better defined, by 
means of their darker edges, larger, but not brighter. 
Length of fore-wing, 3 18 mm., 2 19 mm. 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 069, 3, 070, 2, 22 vii. 1917. Sol- 
wezi, N.W. Rhodesia (H. C. Dollman). 
“This species would seem to be on the wing only after 
the veldt fires; then, owing to its obscure smoky colour, 
and constant habit of settling on the bare soil or burned 
grass roots, it is very inconspicuous.” 
Some specimens show a very slight yet distinct reddish- 
brown tinge in the hind-wings below. The species is 
nearest to A. orthrus Trim., but readily separable from that 
by its larger size and the grey, not orange, colour of the 
underside of the fore-wings; the females, too, are devoid 
of orange markings on the upperside.

(Plate VII, fig. 13.) 
g. Upperside, both wings: dark blackish-grey, finely irrorated 
with greyish; numerous minute pale brownish-grey spots ;~ fringes 
uniformly grey, the distal half rather lighter, not chequered. ore- 
wing: the arrangement of spots the same as in Sarangesa astrigera 
Butler, one distally in cell, one in area 11 above it, two each in areas 
6, 7 and 8 all close together, one each in 4 and 5 beyond the others, 
one each in 2 and 3 very minute and towards the bases of the areas, 
in 1b two below these two and a further pair towards base; a mar- 
ginal series of eight pale points. Hind-wing: an indistinct pair | 
of spots at cell end and a series of five more distinct spots in a semi- 
circle around them between them and costa, the series continued 
very indefinitely towards the inner margin on disc of wing; a series 
of marginal dots as in fore-wing, but incomplete. 
Underside, both wings: uniformly smooth dark greyish-brown ; 
the spots as above but much more distinet and whiter. ore-wing : 
spots in area 7 absent; marginal dots confined to area 1b, the basal 
spots in this area much larger than above. Hind-wing: the spots 
resolve themselves into one in cell anteriorly just before origin of 
a foe
