13. Acrea enone, sp. n. 
Exp. al. 50-51 millim. 
Male and Female.—Fore wings semitransparent grey, 
darker along the margins and especially at the tip, 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; there 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 
spot; 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 the 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 reddish.

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 the extreme base and hind margin, 
being divided in the middle by a single or Y-shaped row of 
confluent black spots.
