106 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



Underside. F.-w. along costa to end of cell, for two-thirds 

 of length of cell, and slightly in lb and la, suffused with dull 

 pink, otherwise much as on upperside but paler and markings 

 less well defined. A whitish powdering round yellow apical 

 subniarginal spots. A minute black dot on costa about 3 ram. 

 from base, a linear black mark in area 11 near middle, and a 

 black dot in same area above end of cell. 



H.-w. as on upperside but whiter and without basal suffusion ; 

 the hind-marginal border much paler, and the white dots are 

 followed inwardly by elongated ochreous spots. The discal 

 spots are as on upperside. A basal spot in 8 near precostal, a 

 crescentic spot in 7, a small round spot followed by a second of 

 erescentic shape in cell, one in Ic, lb, and la. Sometimes a 

 ■dot near end of area la. Area 9, base of la, and a small mark 

 in 7, and Ic pink. Head black with a few pale spots, tliorax 

 black above with whitish lateral spots, and whitish below, 

 abdomen black above, whitish below, with pale rings and 

 lateral spots. Claws unequal. 



9 . Mabille describes the $ as resembling the ^ but 

 more heavily marked. A 9 example before me is rather less 

 heavily marked than the male and the ground-colour is pure 

 white. The f.-w. is much more rounded than that of the $ . 



A. turna f. marmorata. 



In this form the ground-colour is bright ochreous, the dark 

 markings are heavy and in the f.-w. partly confluent. In one 

 example before me the two cell spots in h.-w. coalesce to form 

 a black ring. The example figured by Grose-Smith is stated 

 to be a ? and has the h.-w. rather paler than the primaries. 



The difference in colour from that of the typical form is not 

 seasonal and both the latter and f. marmorata occur together. 



A. turna is rare in collections. It appears to be allied 

 to A. pseudolycia.
