254 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



base greyish inclining to brown in 9, 8 and Ic. The black spots 

 rather variable with a tendency to reduction in size and number. 

 Central area greyish white, border pale grey striated as in (J^ . 

 Abdomen black above with white lateral spots. 



A. althoffi, f. rubrofasciata. 



This form occurs in both sexes and is distinguished by having 

 the central band of the upperside of the h,-w. much broader. 

 This band and also all the paler marks on f.-w. are red. On the 

 underside of h.-w. the basal and central areas are ochre yellow 

 and not differentiated. The white submarginal streaks are 

 visible on the apex of f.-w. 



A. althoffi, J f. telloides. 



Just as the typical form of althoffi 9 appears to be modified 

 in the direction of the black and white $ $ of jodutta, so this 

 form seems to be a develcjpment in the direction of the pattern 

 of Flanema tellus. 



In the f.-w. the whole basal half of the wing is dull orange 

 ochreous, though the black spots in cell, 2, and lb remain, that 

 near end of cell usually confluent with the subapical patch. 

 The spots of the latter are all confluent, forming an approach to 

 the continuous patch in PI. tellus. The h.-w. has very little 

 black at base, but the basal black spots are fairly distinct. The 

 whole of the rest of the h.-w. is dull orange ochreous, the margin 

 slightly powdered with black, the nervule ends b^ack, and the 

 usual characteristic internervular striations, though these differ 

 in that the bifurcations of the internervular rays are ojjen and 

 nearly at their widest on the margin. On the underside the 

 pattern is the same as on the upper, and in fresh examples the 

 ground-colour is quite as dark on the upperside.* 



A. althoffi $ f. ochreata, f. nov. 



Differs from other forms in having all the light areas pale 

 dull ochreous, the same colour as in the ^ A. jodutla. 



A. althoffi $ f. drucei. 



There is in Mr. Druce's collection a large 9 which has much 

 the same colouring as the ^ . The f.-w. is of a rather dull 

 brown. There is an orange red streak in the cell, and the subapical 

 spots are pale yellow, the upper ones being tinged with red. 

 The spots in 2, lb, and la are orange red. The h.-w. has a 

 central white band and whitish submarginal spots. 



* Unfortunately my figure of this form in Af. Mim. Butt, shows 

 the h.-w. hind-marginal black too heavy and distinct, the margin 

 being usually merely dusted with black.
