286 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



Underside. F.-w. vitreous the pattern of upperside showing' 

 through. H.-w. base greenish grey, the band of upperside 

 represented in pink. Hind-marginal border grey brown. An 

 outer row of black spots of which there are three in 7, 6 and 5, 

 the first well beyond origin of nervule 7. A spot near base of 

 area 2 followed by one in Ic and lb, all in a straight line at 

 right angles to inner margin. Also two spots in cell the 

 second above origin of nervule 2, a subbasal in 7, a subbasal 

 in Ic, a basal and a subbasal in lb, and a spot in la. 



Head and thorax black with a few whitish dots. Abdomen 

 black above with lateral yellowish spots. Palpi white. 



I have not had an opportunity of examining the type 

 of this species which is in the Lisbon Museum. I am 

 inclined to regard it as a local form of A. -penelope, Staud. 

 It occurs only in the Island of St. Thomas. The $ is not 

 yet known. Should this form ultimately prove to be 

 conspeciiic with pcndo'ijc the name newtoni will take 

 precedence.

(J . Expanse 50-54. F.-w. black. At end of cell an irregu- 

 larly shaped transparent spot often indented on the basal side 

 by the ground-colour. Beyond cell a series of three sub- 

 quadrate transparent spots separated by the black nervules. 

 A large transparent spot at base of area 2, not always extending 

 right into angle between median and nervule 2. The discal 

 edge of this spot powdered with black scales. Beneath it a 

 small ill-defined transparent spot. Examined by reflected light 

 the inner and sometimes also the subapical spots are seen to be 

 slightly scaled with yellowish white. H.-w. black, slightly less 

 dense in basal area, on which the black spots corresponding to 

 those beneath, can be discerned. An irregular discal patch of
