2QQ Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



almost to end of cell, and has a well-rounded distal edge more 

 or less parallel to the hind margin. Beyond it is a correspond- 

 ingly curved red discal band some 5 mm. wide, and a sepia 

 black hind-marginal border about 2 mm. wide, its inner edge 

 regularly but not deeply edentate on and between the nervules. 



Underside. F.-w. like the upper but duller, and the costal, 

 apical, and hind-marginal areas dusky ochreous striated by the 

 black nervule ends and internervular rays. Traces of a blackish 

 mark just beyond middle of area lb. 



H.-w. base, costa, and hind margin greenish ochreous, central 

 area dull pinkish. Nervules and internervular rays rather 

 broadly dusted with brown. Black spots on the basal area as 

 follows : — One in 9, one in 8, two in 7 about 2 mm. apart, one 

 at base of 6 and 5, three in cell, the second beyond the middle 

 and the third near end. One at base of 2, a basal, a subbasal, 

 and a central in Ic, two confluent spots about middle of lb, and 

 the same in la. 



Head and thorax black with a few pale dots, basal half of 

 abdomen black above, with lateral yellowish spots, terminal 

 segments orange ochreous. 



$. Expanse 64-72 mm. F.-w. sepia brown with red marks 

 mucli as in ^ but duller and rather more widely separated by 

 black, and those in 6, 5, and 4 nearly always replaced by white 

 forming a conspicuous discal bar. One example before me from 

 Kampala has all red markings. 



H.-w. as in ^ but paler and duller. 



Underside. F.-w. rather thinly scaled, a pale dull replica 

 of upperside, but costa, and apical and hind-marginal areas 

 dusted with dusky white between the nervules and rays. 



H.-w. Pattern as in (^ but dusted all over with whitish 

 scales, or, in some cases, the whole underside is almost devoid 

 of scales and vitreous. 



The orineta form is distinguished principally by the 

 more continuous and well-defined basal black of the h.-w., 

 especially in the %. This peculiarity does occasionally 

 occur in western examples, but it does not appear to be a 

 characteristic feature imtil we reach the neighbourhood of 

 Uganda. 



A. orina is very closely allied to parrhasia. I am not 

 quite satisfied that orina has not in the West a female form 

 which is piactically indistinguishable from that of par- 

 rhasia. If it has n(jt, then the $ orina is strangely rare 

 in collections. Apart from the examples of Hewitsou's
