with black cloud above on costa, and four pairs of spots of the 

 same colour below, represent a broad central fascia (the lower 

 pairs coalesce, forming bars) ; beyond these are three trans- 

 verse series of black spots — the first is composed of double 

 spots towards costa, the spots of second series are surrounded 

 with whitish, the third series is on outer margin. Second- 

 aries have the basal half grey and the outer half yellow ; two 

 large black spots beyond the central one form a longitudinal 

 series of three between the limit of basal half of the wing and 

 the outer margin ; there is a larger black spot at the outer 

 angle, three others below the outer one of longitudinal series, 

 and a row of smaller spots before the outer margin. Fringes 

 agree in colour with the wings. Under surface similar to 

 the upper surface, but the primaries are more uniform in 

 colour.

Allied to A. jaguararia, Guen. 



Judging from the three specimens under observation, this 

 species would seem to be rather variable in number of black 

 markings on secondaries, as in one example there is a fourth 

 spot above those of marginal series, and in another specimen, 

 which also has this fourth spot, there are, in addition, two 

 spots above and two below the middle one of longitudinal 

 series of three, thus forming a macular band.

This is probably only a form of R. jaguararia^ Guen,, in 

 which the central macular band of secondaries is either obso- 

 lete or only faintly indicated ; the yellow on these wings does 

 not extend much beyond the submarginal series of spots.
