222 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



Underside, f.-w. paler and duller than above, the costal black 

 not reaching to base, and tlie basal inner marginal black only 

 represented by a blackish mark at base of 2, and some irregular 

 black beneath it in lb. The subapical patch is ochre yellow, 

 a slight ochreous powdering along the nervule ends, and 

 a series of acutely triangular ochreous marginal internervular 

 spots. 



H.-w. Base pale sage green witli a black basal spot in 9, 8, 

 cell, and. Ic. The. green area is closely followed by a series of 

 black spots roughly arranged in a double line and usually 

 enclosing small red marks in 7, cell, and Ic. Tliese spots are 

 very variable and irregular, sometimes being coalescent and 

 sometimes fairly well separated. Discal area ochre yellow. 

 Marginal border rather variable. Usually about 2 mm. wide 

 as far as nervule 3, then about 3 mm. wide tapering to inner 

 margin. This border may be quite black with pale ochreous 

 triangular internervular marginal spots, or the nervures may 

 be laterally powdered with ochreous producing a striated 

 appearance. One example from Euaha Valley, German E. 

 Africa, has red streaks between the nervules. 



Head black with white lines behind the eyes and two brown 

 tufts on collar. Thorax black with some whitish scales. Abdo- 

 men black above with yellowish segmental lines and lateral spots. 

 Claws unequal. 



^. ab. The black replaced by brown, and all the reddish 

 tawny areas replaced by dull ochreous. (1 example. Mus. 

 Oxon., Lagos.) 



9 . f. 1. Like the $ but rather larger (about 48 mm.). The 

 h.-w. margin broader, especially beneath. 



9 . f. 2. F.-w. dull smoky grey, subapical patch very pale 

 ochreous. A whitish inner marginal patch suffused with grey, 

 the greater part of which in la and lb lies rather beyond the 

 middle, extending upwards into base of 3. Indications of pale 

 triangular spots on margin. H.-w. base dull grey, with black 

 spots of underside showing through, central area pale ochreous, 

 remainder dark grey with faint triangular marginal spots and 

 indications of darker internervular rays. 



LTnderside. F.-w. with a basal dull reddish grey area corre- 

 sponding to the pale tawny red in f. 1. Subapical patch dusky 

 white. Margin striated by blackish nervule ends laterally 

 powdered with whitish, and elongated whitish triangular inter- 

 nervular marks laterally powdered with blackish. H.-w. base 

 pale grey with the usual black spots, remainder dusky white, the 

 marginal border striated similarly to that in f.-w.
