320 Mr. H. Eltringliam's Monograph of the 



A. conjnncta conjnncta. 



^. Expanse 40 4G mm. F.-w. deep brown-black. A central 

 curved band of deep ochreous formed by a quadrate spot occupy- 

 ing the whole of distal end of cell, a similar patch in 2 not 

 quite reaching the base of that area, and a central patch in lb, 

 and la. A small spot of the same colour at base of area 3. 

 Beyond cell a subapical series of 3-4 small deep ochreous spots 

 in 10, 9, 6, and 5, followed by a submarginal spot of the same 

 colour in area 4. 



H.-w. deep ochreous, the base suffused with dark brown, the 

 inner margin powdered with the same colour as far as lb. A 

 hind-marginal border of dark brown 3-4 mm. wide its inner 

 edge somewhat irregular and edentate between the nervriles. A 

 few minute black discal spots faintly indicated. 



Underside paler and duller, the pattern much less distinct. 

 In h.-w. some minute black spots very variable in number. 

 The example Ijefore me having the largest number of these 

 spots shows the following : — A basal spot in 9 and in Ic. Two 

 in 7, the outermost well beyond origin of 7, one in cell before 

 origin of 2, a series of three small discal spots in areas 5, 4, and 

 3 in a nearly vertical line, one in Ic and lb, and one in la. 



Head black with two reddish tufts in collar. Thorax black, 

 abdomen black above, with minute lateral yellowish dots. 

 Claws unequal. 



$ . Expanse about 35 mm. Resembles the ^ . 

 f. interrupta. 



In this form which occurs in both sexes the central band of 

 the f.-w. is not continuous but is broken into spots, that in 

 area lb being sometimes reduced to a mere streak. 

 ■5 . f. silacea. 



The f.-w. spots, and the central patch of h.-w. are pale 

 ochreous. 

 ^ . f. iiiiUafa. 



Resembles the foregoing but the f.-w. subapical spots are 

 white. 

 ^ . f . pica. 



All the pale markings are white. 

 5 . f. Intealba. 



The pale markings of f.-w. are orange ochreous, whilst the 

 central patch of h.-w. is white. 

 ^ . f. siiffiisa. 



In the f.-w. the brown black ground-colour is much reduced 

 in area and remains only as a basal and a subapical suffusion,
