268 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



9, Expanse 60 mm. Resembles (^ but duller and f.-w. 

 more rounded. Subapical transparent spots larger. H.-w. witli 

 dark basal patch much reduced, especially from upper half of 

 cell to costa. Underside as in ^ but duller and rather paler. 



A. baxteri, i. fullehomi. 



This form differs in having the f.-w. rather more trans- 

 lucent, the transparent spot in area 4 is longer, and the black 

 border of the h.-w. is broader than in the type form, also the 

 red colour is of a less rosy tint. On the underside the h.-w. 

 black spots are rather smaller and less confluent, and the pale 

 band is narrower. 



A. haxteri, f. subscptamia. 



This form differs from the type in the following characters : — 

 The f.-w. upperside has the red less extended in area 2, the 

 subapical spots are more transparent, and the blackish border 

 is broader at the hind angle. On the h.-w. the black border is 

 produced inwardly on the nervules, and at the costa the red 

 colour invades the black basal patch. On the underside the 

 h.-w. nervule ends are broadly black, and the black spots are 

 smaller and more separated. One example has greyish spots in 

 the basal area. 



At present I have not sufficient material to decide 

 whether the differences between the above forms are of 

 importance. Unfortunately I was unable to secure the 

 type of A. haxteri before my visit to the Berlin Museum 

 and was obliged therefore to send a draAving of it, wliich 

 Dr. Strand very kindly compared with Thurau's types. 

 My figure on Plate V is taken from Miss Sharpe's type 

 now in the Joicey collection.

* I give this reference under peneleos, but the description is so 

 inadequate that it might refer either to peneleos or penelupe. One of 

 the examples included under peneleos in this paper is a red variety 

 of A. mairessei. See p. 286.
