234 Mr. H. Eltringliam's Monograph of the 



ing barely to middle of cell with indications of the spots 

 of underside. Central area dark or pale ochreous. A hind- 

 marginal border of black some 4 mm. wide at apex, its inner 

 edge running straight downwards to nervule 4 where it makes 

 a sharp curve thence becoming suddenly rather broader at 3, 

 traversing the wing nearly at right angles to inner margin. 



Underside. F.-w. slightly reddish at base (much less red 

 than in cabira). The remainder of wing a pale replica of the 

 upperside, the ajiex and hind margin striated by black nervules 

 laterally powdered with pale grey, and internervular brownish 

 marks laterally lined with black. 



H.-w. grey at base. Area 9 dark red, a black spot in 

 8, two in 7 enclosing a red mark one on middle disco- 

 cellular closely followed by two in cell, the three together 

 enclosing a red mark, a third spot in cell nearer base. A 

 basal and a subbasal spot in Ic Fometimes enclosing a very 

 little red, a spot in lb (sometimes absent) and two in la. 

 Some irregular black at base of nervures. Central area of wing 

 pale ochreous to creamy white. Hind-marginal border similar 

 in shape to that on upperside and marked exactly as in cabira, 

 i. e. the nervules black, laterally lined with pale ochreous, and 

 between the nervules pale triangular marginal spots produced 

 inwardly into brownish marks each lined with black. Some 

 brownish scales along inner edge in 3, 2, Ic, lb and la. 



Head black with a few whitish markings, two brown tufts on 

 collar, thorax black with some pale lateral marks, abdomen black 

 above with yellowish segmental lines and lateral spots. Claws 

 unequal. 



9. Expanse about 56 mm. Resembles the (^ , but the h.-w. 

 marginal border is somewhat broader, and has a mere trace of 

 paler marginal spots, and of the striations of the underside 

 pattern. 



A. viviana is easily distinguished from cabira by the 

 shape of the basal black in the f.-w., the outer edge of 

 which in lb passes nearly straight up, inclining slightly 

 outwards from the submedian to the origin of 2. Jt is 

 rarer in collections than is cahira, and I have not had an 

 opportunity of examining very long series, but so far I have 

 seen no intermediates between the two species. Also the 

 genitalia though of a very simple structure appear to 

 ■differ. The species occurs as far west as Cameroon. It 

 has not been found in the large consignments lately 

 received at Oxford from Mr. Lamborn from Lagos, and I
