 A. rogersi rogersi. 



(^. Expanse 70-82 mm. F.-w. Sepia black, darker at base, 

 costa, and in apical area. A red patch at hind angle occupying 

 outer third of la, outer half of lb (except just at margin), and 

 extending slightly into 2. Large black spots as follows. One in 

 cell above origin of 2, one on discocellulars occupying whole 

 width of cell. Just beyond cell three subquadrate spots (the 

 uppermost sometimes missing) divided by nervules 5 and 6, and 

 beneath them a spot in 3. Beneath this and rather further from 

 margin a large spot in 2, and in same area a second spot nearer 

 margin. In lb, a submarginal, a central, and a subbasal spot. 

 H.-w. Base dark sepia, obscuring a mass of large black spots 

 which correspond to those beneath. Beyond this a broad red 

 band on which at inner edge are some spots lying beyond the 

 basal black. On outer edge of the red area are eight round inter- 

 nervular black spots. In some examples only those in 3, 2, and 

 Ic are present, in others each is produced outwardly into a broad 

 black internervular mark. A dark sepia hind marginal band of 

 variable width, its inner edge rather suffused. Underside f.-w. 

 Dull ochreous sepia, with spots as above. Reddish at hind angles 

 Between the discocellular spot and the discal spots, and also 

 beyond the latter, whitish. H.-w. Base as far as the inner edge 

 of discal band dull red. Discal band greyish in 7 and lb, 

 remainder pale brown dusted with greyish, and with an outer 

 row of spots as above but smaller. Margin dark sepia brown. 

 The red basal area has the following black spots. One in 8 

 against precostal, two in 7, one in 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, two in cell before 

 the middle, one on discocellulars, two in Ic, lb, and la ; those 

 in lb further from base than those in Ic and la. Some black at 

 base of nervures. 



Head black with a few white marks, thorax black, abdomen 

 black above at base, with ochre yellow lateral spots, remainder 

 ochre yellow. Claws unequal. 



9 . Upperside resembles ^ but the red is much fainter 

 amounting usually to a mere tinge of colour. On the underside the 

 h.-w. ground-colour is dusky ochreous with very little indication 

 of hind marginal black. Some of the spots of outer row may be 

 absent. 



f. salambo. 



(^ . Like the typical form but without the red, though the 

 basal part of f.-w. and the discal area of h.-w. have a rather
