136 Mr. H. Eltiingham's Monograph of the 



9 . Resembles the (^ but the ground-colour is more dusky 

 especially in the f.-w. Tlie terminal portion of abdomen is 

 whitish. 



I have described the $ from a single example in the 

 cdllection of Mr. Roland Trimen. This specimen dift'ers 

 sliglitly from the type in being of a brighter red, in not 

 having a yellowish basal patch on h.-\v. beneath, and 

 having the spots slightly different on the h.-w. 



The $ I know only from the figure {I. c), both it and 

 the type ^ being in the S. African Museum at Capetown. 

 My search through large collections here and on the 

 Continent has failed to reveal another example, although 

 \t have seen many specimens labelled with the name 

 oncrata. The reputed specimens in the Staudinger 

 collection are a form of ji. nohara, and in another large 

 collection I found an alleged example which proved to be 

 periphanes. 



A. oncrata is not a very distinctive form and is diffi- 

 cult to identify satisfactorily without further material. 

 The country whence the type was received has not been 

 much worked so that we may hope to see further examples 

 in the future.

(^ . Expanse 46 mm. F.-w. bright brick red. A narrow 

 black border roi:nd costa, apex, and hind margin, continued as 

 a black line along inner margin. A little black suffusion at 

 base especially in lb and la. Nervures black. The nervvde 

 ends rather broadly black widening somewhat where they 

 reach the liind margin so that the red ground-colour is divided 

 up into broad clavate streaks. Black spots as follows : — A 

 large spot in cell over origin of nervule 2, a spot on the disco- 

 cellulars, and beyond cell a band of large spots extending 

 from costal black into area 3, the spot in this area being nearly 

 separated from those above it. In 2 and lb two small sub- 

 marginal spots lying parallel to hind margin. In 2 also a large 

 spot touching median, 3, and 2, and beneath it but nearer 

 margin a spot placed in a line with that in 3 parallel to hind 

 margin. A small spot in lb nearly midway between base and 

 origin of nervule 2.
