Afale and Female. — Fore wings semitranspavent grey, 

 darker along the margins and especially at the lip, with a 

 black spot at the base of the cell and transverse black spots 

 in its middle and at its extremity. Beyond the cell is a row 

 of three smaller more or less confluent spots, and there are 

 two more between the branches of the median nervure near 

 their origin ; tliere are also two larger spots between the 

 median and submedian nervures, one near the base and tlie 

 other above the middle of the inner margin, and a row of 

 indistinct sagittate spots between the nervures on the hind 

 margin. Hind wings black, with a submarginal series of 

 eight oblong buff spots, divided by the nervures, those nearest 

 the anal angle emarginate on the inside. The spot nearest 

 the costa is linear and considerably produced inwards ; below 

 its inner edge descends a row of three smaller spots, divided 

 by the nervures, and within this is another large irregular 

 s|)ot ; in the black border is a row of obsolete tawny spots, 

 more distinct as they approach the anal angle. 



Underside similar, but on the hind wings the submarginal 

 tawny spots are much more distinct, and there are several 

 cream-coloured spots in the dark basal portion of tlie wings, 

 which are only indistinctly indicated on the upper surface. 



Body black ; the palpi, two round spots on the prothorax 

 above, a double row of spots on the sides of the abdomen, and 

 transverse stripes beneath buff. Pouch of the female reddisli.

 Aignan, Oct. 21, 1888" (two specimens). 



Allied to the Australian A. andromache^ Fabr. ; but the 

 latter species is larger and the buff colour extends over the 

 whole hind wing except at tlie extreme base and liind margin, 

 being divided in the middle by a single or Y-shaped row of 

 confluent black spots.
