extending to second median nervule ; the orange before 

 stripe rather faint, beyond it well-defined and composed of 

 five or six rays (much as in Achine, but more acuminate 

 outwardly) which are prolonged by faint orange lines to 

 hinol-margin ; no disco-cellular spot. Hind-wing : more or 

 less widely suffused with dark-grey from base; a large, 

 quadrate black spot on costa, contiguous to that on fore- 

 wing ; hind-marginal border broadly blackish. UNDER- 

 SIDE. Tinged with yellowish, and faintly grey-irrorated. 

 Fore-wing: black space paler and duller, less sharply 

 defined ; faint apical patch as in Achine and Omphale, but 

 macular stripe more apparent, Hind-wing : costal edging 

 at base bright-orange ; disco-cellular s^ot (without black 

 dot) and indistinct angulated fascia dull-orange. 



This is a very distinct species, readily recognised by the width and 

 singular form of the black clouding of fore-wing. Nine $ specimens 

 were taken by Mr. J. A. Bell in Damaralaud, but I have seen no $ that 

 can with certainty be referred to this species.

? . Fore-wing : apical patch less red than in Omphale, 

 considerably wider, not, or very faintly, marked with 

 crossing nervules, and consisting of seven rays ; inner black 

 edging of patch well-marked, but abruptly ending about 

 first median nervule, leaving a considerable space of orange 

 touching the white ground-colour ; outer edging ending on 

 third median ; a dot at anal angle, but none at end of cell ; 

 inner-marginal blackish faint, narroiu, its base and ex- 

 tremity only darker. Hind-wing : costal border much as 

 inner-marginal blackish of fore-wing, in one specimen 

 almost obsolete ; spots and portion of angulated streak 

 much as in Omphale $ . UNDER-SIDE. As in Omphale, 

 but paler and more thickly hatched with brownish-grey. 



The colour, width, &c., of the apical patch, its contiguity with the 

 ground colour, and especially the narrowness and faintiiess of the blackish 

 longitudinal bands, readily distinguish this species from A. Omphale. 

 The two specimens from which the above description is made were taken 

 by Mr, Bowker, and seem thoroughly to agree with Wnllengren's diagnosis ;
