lated, — its outer edge regularly and shar]ily dentated by 

 internervular black rays from liind-margin. In both 

 wings indistinct traces of a sub-marginal row of dull- 

 wliitisli spots ; cilia with white internervular dots. 



Underside. — Ground-colour pale ochreous-broiun except 

 brownish-black discal region of fore-wing. Fore-wing : a 

 small white spot at origin of sub-costal and median ner- 

 vures ; a fulvous-ochreous streak along costa for some 

 distance from base ; a black longitudinal ray in cell, con- 

 fluent with discal black ; white band and spots larger 

 than above, especially spot at apex, which is widely suf- 

 fused inwardly ; a third spot, very much smaller than 

 the other two, at lower end of bar between band and 

 apex; four or five small white spots in a sub-marginal 

 row between 1st median nervule and anal angle. Hind- 

 wing : base, as far as inner edge of band, dull fulvous- 

 ochreous, with eight black spots, viz. one on costa at base, 

 one on each side of pre-costal nervure, three in cell, and 

 one on each side of 1st sub-costal nervule ; four of these 

 mark the edge of central band, which is broader than 

 above ; a sub-marginal row of small white spots in pairs 

 between nervules ; internervular rays more conspicuous 

 than above.

This species is closely allied to P. Lueretia, Cram., but 

 as far as the (J sex is concerned, presents the following 

 differences, viz. \\\ fore-iving — 1°, the white bar of two 

 spots is square, and does not radiate towards hind-margin ; 

 2°, the inner-marginal patch is yellowish- white, and does 

 not extend to 3rd median nervule ; 8°, the white costal 

 edging and apical spot are not found in Lueretia ; while in 

 hind-wing, — 4°, the band is yeUmrish-white, and much 

 broader, extending nearer to base. On the underside in 

 fore-iving, 5°, Tarquinia wants both the whitish scaling 

 in cell, and the conspicuous white radiation from sub- 

 apical bar ; 6°, the median band is wider ; 7°, the sub- 

 marginal white spots are smaller and fewer ; while in 

 hind-ioing — 8°, the basal ochreous is broader ; 9°, the sub- 

 marginal spots much smaller ; and 10°, the inter-nervular 

 streaks fainter. The white lateral stripe and spots of the 

 abdoraen are smaller and yellower than in Lueretia. 



This butterfly bears a very remarkable resemblance to 

 Acrcea Aganiee, Hemts.,* the shape and position of the 



* The West-African Lueretia, with its miich more conspicuous sub- 

 apical white marking, bears a strong likeness to Acrcsa Lycna, Godt., a 

 native of the same region.
