 orange marks mirahilis (216) 



KEY TO SECTIONS. 



H.-w. without black spots ...... I 



H.-w. with black spots ....... (a) 



(a) H.-w. underside with dark internervular rays at least in some 

 of the spaces, such rays not being bifurcated at or near 

 margin ......... (h) 



H.-w. underside without internervular rays, or with such rays 



bifurcated (6) 



(6) F.-w. upperside fully scaled and not transparent * . ■ {d) 



F.-w. partially transparent, usually on outer half (in camaena 



and niobe smoky translucent). ..... (c) 



(c) H.-w. hind margin at least partially transparent, without spots 

 or black border ........ II 



H.-w. hind margin with spots or black border (in cinerea h.-w. 



border not separated from remainder of ground-colour) . Ill 



{d) H.-w. hind marginal border on underside enclosed by a black 



line without enclosed spots IV 



(Some examples of asholoplintha have green h.-w. marginal 

 spots, but this species is quite unlike any other form of 

 Acraea.) 

 H.-w. hind marginal border on underside with enclosed spots (e) 

 (e) The black or dark colour enclosing spots is not produced 

 inwardly to form a bifurcated internervular mark or ray 

 and the spots are submarginal, or, if marginal, the h.-w. 



also bears discal spots (/) 



The black or dark colour enclosing spots is usually produced 

 inwardly forming a bifurcated ray the submarginal portion 

 of which may contain or consist of, red or yellowish streaks. 

 The spots are always marginal. Or if the border is sharply 

 defined black with marginal spots, and without inward 

 processes, then the h.-w. has no discal spots . . VIII 



* The following are included in this section of key although 

 owing to variability some examples are partially transparent. 



Aglaonice sometimes, mnicitdae, and most examples of douhledayi 

 have a partly transparent subapical patch. 



Pudorella and equaturialis anaemia are sometimes so thinly 

 scaled as to be partially transparent.
