186 Mr. H. Eltriagliam's Monograph of the 



Rogenhofer's type is specifically identical Avitli the 

 specimen in the National Collection above described, this 

 must be an error, as the latter example bears a much 

 closer relationship to caldarena and caecilia. The genital 

 armature is only very slightly different from that of the 

 two species mentioned, that of A. oncaea being of an 

 entirely different form. On the whole I regard it as 

 nearest to A. caecilia, and the acquisition of further 

 material may decide whether it is really separate from 

 that species. 



The type was taken at Bahr-el-Seraf in the Sudan. 

 The British Museum specimen is merely labelled Victoria 

 Nyanza.

^ . Expanse 50-62 mm. Wings orange red to rosy red. F.-w. 

 A narrow black line along costa (rather wider at apex) and 

 continued along hind margin to angle. Costa, apical and hind- 

 marginal portion of wing inclining to orange. A slight dusky- 

 suffusion at base. Ends of nervules rather distinctly black. In 

 the subapical region in areas 4 and 5 (and sometimes slightly in 

 6), a transparent mark caused by a paucity of scales. This 

 transparent marking may be almost absent in dry season 

 examples. Black spots as follows: — A large, transverse, irregularly 

 shaped spot in cell above origin of 2, and a black mark on disco- 

 cellulars, visually on upper part but sometimes over whole width 

 of end of cell. Beyond cell and just before the transparent 

 marks a discal row of fine spots in 10, 6, 5, 4, and 3, the first 

 sometimes absent, and the last sometimes very small. The 

 three middle spots almost in a straight line, the first rather more 

 distally placed, the fifth with its long axis pointing towards 

 apex. In 2 a spot close to median (absent in one example). In 

 lb a discal spot below that in 2 and slightly nearer margin, and
