centrally inwardly arcuate. The dark reuiform is here determinate against 

 the narrower pale shading, which precedes the t. p. line more evenly and con- 

 tinuously than in A. diva. Subterminal line more irregular and contrasted 

 by the terminal space, which is paler than in A. dica. Hind wings bright 

 orange-yellow, with a large black lunate discal spot, a black narrow terminal 

 band with irregular margin. Within anal angle is a black spot, indicating a 

 possible subterminal line. Base with dusky scales defined outwardly by a 

 transverse band. Beneath, both wings yellow. Primaries with a median black 

 fascia, inwardly bent below costa, then running outwardly. A large black 

 discal spot. A wide black subterminal shade not reaching internal margin. 

 Fringes black and the apices and costal edge dusky. Hind wings with a con- 

 tinued extra basal angulate black line, a discal spot, a very attenuate subter- 

 minal irregular line and a subobsolete black edging indicated by a black spot, 

 as on upper surface, before vein 2.
