284 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



Underside. F.-w. much as above but costa, apex, and hind 

 margin tawny ochreous with blackish nervules and inter- 

 nervular rays. H.-w. base nearly to end of cell reddish tawny, 

 followed by a discal band of pale pinkish ochreous and having 

 a broad, well - defined marginal border of tawny ochreous 

 striated by the black nervule ends and short internervular 

 rays. The reddish basal portion more heavily spotted than is 

 usual in penelope. Two spots in 7, the second just beyond 

 origin of nervule 7, and beneath it but slightly nearer margin 

 a spot in 6, and in 5. A dot at base of area 5 on discocellular ; 

 a basal, a central, and a distal spot in cell (the latter may be 

 an aggregation of dots) a spot at base of area 2. Three spots 

 in Ic, the third just beneath origin of nervule 2, and beneath 

 it two spots in lb. A subbasal and a distal in la. 



This interesting form is at once distinguished by the 

 tawny red basal area of h.-w. underside which brings into 

 prominence the central pale band, thus producing a close 

 resemblance to peneleos pelasgius. The pattern is doubtless 

 modified in mimetic association with that species. 



A. penelope vitrea, subsp. nov. PI. IV, f. 7. 



^. F.-w. Costa, apical area, and hind margin sepia black. 

 Cell and basal portions of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, lb, and la dusted with 

 the same colour. Remainder perfectly transparent with a 

 dusting of orange red in areas 2 and lb, and an orange red 

 linear mark in la. H.-w. orange red, usually with a less 

 extensive basal suffusion, and having a narrower hind-nuirginal 

 border. 



Underside resembles that of typical penelope. 



The $ is unknown to me. 

 A. penelope derubescens, subsp. n. PI. IV, f. 5. 



(J. Resembles subsp. vitrea, but in the h.-w. the central area 

 is crimson, much reduced in width, and does not reach the 

 costa. A few brown scales can be seen with a lens in areas lb 

 and 2. On the underside of f.-w. the ochreous areas are 

 replaced by pale greenish, and in the h.-w. the basal area and 

 hind margin are pale green, and the central band creamy white. 



Of this form there are three $ $ in the Berlin Museum. 

 One has the black nervule ends and rays in h.-w. under- 

 side not joined together as they are in the type figured, 

 and has an additional spot in areas 6 and 5. All three 

 examples were taken at Misahohe Station near Tongbe in 

 Togoland.
