184 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



orange internervnlar marks. H.-w. pinkish at base and with 

 seven large rounded pinki.sh or yellowish white spots on the 

 marginal black. Thorax and abdomen black with white spots, 

 the abdomen also segmented with narrow white lines. 



A. caecilia $ f. artemisa. 



This form appears to be a rare aberration in which the black 

 markings, especially those of f.-w. apex and both hind margins, 

 are exceptionally heavy. I know it only from Stoll's figure ; 

 though occasional Western examples show an unusual breadth of 

 the h.-w. border. 



A. caecilia 9 f- hypatia. 



For some time I was of opinion that Drury's figure of hypatia 

 was too highly coloured, but I have now seen examples of 

 caecilia 9 which are quite as deeply tinted. The f.-w. is 

 tawny ochreous and the h.-w. deep pink. The f.-w. apical 

 and marginal black is narrow and well defined, resembling that 

 in Eastern examples. We may therefore preserve Drury's name 

 for this form. A specimen is in the Tring collection and bears 

 the label Mohoroni. 



A. caecilia pudora. 



To the Eastern subspecies of caecilia must be assigned the 

 name given by Aurivillius {I. c.) to what he regarded as the dry 

 season form of Suffert's " caecilia liacea." The latter is however 

 not cacciZia at all, but a form of oncaea. A. caecilia 2nidora 

 differs from more Western examples in having the f.-w. apical 

 black much narrower and more sharply defined. The spot in 

 h.-w. area 5 is usually well developed. 



A. caecilia f. umbrina, Auriv. 



On the f.-w. a dull grey semitransparent submarginal band 

 between nervules 2 and 5-6. 



A. caecilia exhibits little seasonal dimorphism. The wet 

 season $$ are pinker and more heavily spotted, and the 

 $$ have a whiter ground-colour and heavier black mark- 

 ings. One Abyssinian example I have seen is of the 

 typical form and another is intermediate to pudora. The 

 species is nearly allied to A. caldarena and there is little 

 difference in the respective $ armatures.
