  Burchell 
  first

  Westwood's 
  list 
  of 
  Burchell's 
  "Acrcea 
  &c." 
  consists 
  of 
  

   twenty-two 
  numbers, 
  of 
  which 
  only 
  three 
  — 
  A. 
  8, 
  A. 
  9, 
  and 
  

   A. 
  10 
  — 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  Acrajinae 
  as 
  now 
  understood. 
  The 
  

   numbers 
  and 
  data 
  were 
  written 
  under 
  his 
  direction 
  by 
  a 
  

   clerk, 
  while 
  " 
  Acrcea 
  sp.," 
  together 
  with 
  notes 
  descriptive 
  of 
  

   individual 
  varieties, 
  were 
  inserted 
  by 
  Westwood 
  himself. 
  He 
  

   also 
  wrote 
  a 
  supplementary 
  and 
  more 
  complete 
  catalogue 
  of 
  

   the 
  data 
  of 
  A. 
  8, 
  A. 
  9, 
  and 
  A. 
  10 
  on 
  a 
  separate 
  slip 
  of 
  paper, 
  

   but 
  a 
  single 
  date, 
  correctly 
  recorded 
  by 
  the 
  clerk, 
  is 
  omitted 
  

   from 
  the 
  slip 
  — 
  a 
  remarkable 
  error, 
  considering 
  that 
  Westwood 
  

   was 
  the 
  writer.

  The 
  inner 
  marginal 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  are 
  both 
  distinct 
  

   in 
  this 
  specimen, 
  the 
  upper, 
  as 
  usual, 
  being 
  considerably 
  

   smaller 
  than 
  the 
  lower. 
  A 
  fuller 
  account 
  of 
  this 
  character 
  is 
  

   given 
  under 
  1444. 
  

  

  The 
  wings 
  of 
  this 
  specimen 
  are 
  unusually 
  broad 
  and 
  

   rounded, 
  — 
  more 
  so 
  than 
  in 
  normal 
  males 
  and 
  females. 
  They 
  

   are 
  also 
  far 
  more 
  translucent 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  male 
  

   of 
  thalia, 
  thus 
  approaching 
  the 
  characteristic 
  appearance 
  of 
  

   the 
  female. 
  In 
  size 
  the 
  specimen 
  is 
  intermediate 
  between 
  

   the 
  small 
  male 
  and 
  large 
  female 
  of 
  this 
  species. 
  An 
  exami- 
  

   nation 
  of 
  the 
  genitalia 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  legs 
  nevertheless 
  shows 
  

   clearly 
  that 
  the 
  specimen 
  is 
  a 
  male, 
  although 
  an 
  unusual 
  

   form 
  of 
  this 
  sex. 
  The 
  rounded 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  is 
  

   also 
  evident 
  in 
  the 
  rectangulated 
  band 
  of 
  their 
  under 
  surface. 
  

   (For 
  a 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  band 
  see 
  under 
  1444.) 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  

   very 
  interesting 
  to 
  endeavour 
  to 
  ascertain 
  by 
  breeding 
  whether 
  

   this 
  is 
  a 
  well-marked 
  form 
  of 
  male 
  or 
  one 
  that 
  is 
  transitional 
  

   into 
  the 
  normal 
  A. 
  thalia 
  of 
  S.E. 
  Brazil. 
  Two 
  other 
  similar 
  

   specimens 
  (1449 
  and 
  1453)

  captured 
  by 
  Burchell 
  in

  last

  Feb. 
  1st,

  four 
  additional

  beyond 
  10108

   one
