A. donhledayi arabica, subsp. nov. 

 S. Arabia (Azvaki Ravine). 



A. donhledayidonbledayi. PI. II, f. 3 (;^). 



^. Expanse about 64 mm. F.-w. thinly scaled and rather 

 translucent, brick red with black spots. Costa and base some- 

 what suffused with blackish. A black marginal band 6 mm. 

 wide at apex becoming narrower towards hind angle, having 

 its inner edge thinly scaled, and bearing a submarginal row 

 of deep orange spots, the last of these (in lb) often merged into 

 the ground-colour. From each of these spots is given off 

 inwardly a short black internervular ray (doubled in lb). 

 In areas 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 between the marginal border and 

 tlie discal row of spots a white translucent band very sparsely 

 scaled. Black spots as follows : — A large spot in cell above 

 origin of 2 and rarely a trace of a second spot nearer base. 

 A spot on the upper part of the discocellulars. A discal row of 

 five confluent spots (the fifth sometimes separate), the first in 10 

 rather nearer base than the others and the next three almost in 

 a sti'aight line. A large spot in 2 its upper edge close to origin 

 of nervule 3. Immediately beneath this a large spot in lb, 

 and in the same area a smaller round spot below median just 

 before origin of 2. H.-w. brick red with some black basal 

 suffusion. A black hind-marginal border about 2 mm. wide 

 having a very distinct but markedly imdnlating inner edge, 

 and very slightly paler internervular marks. Black spots as 

 on underside but those near inner margin often only faintly 

 indicated. 



Underside f.-w. The greater part of median area very 

 sparsely scaled and shining. Spots as on upperside with a basal 

 and a subbasal spot on costa. Costa pale ochreous. Apex and 

 hind margin pale ochreous with orange internervular spots 

 each of the latter with a short black internervular ray. A 

 narrow black line round apex and hind margin. 



H.-w. pinkish ochreous with a greenish ochreous marginal 

 band bounded by a narrow black marginal line, and broken by 

 narrow black internervular arches. Just inside the latter 

 a row of orange ochreous internervular marks. Basal and 

 median area with some rose-pink internervular marks. Black 

 spots of medium size as follows : — A discal row of nine, the 

 first three in 7, 6 and 5, each nearer the margin than the last, 

 the fourth in 4 nearer base, fifth in 3 midway between end of 

 cell and marginal border, the sixth in 2 just below origin of 3, 

 the seventh and eighth in Ic and lb, nearly in a straight line
