5. AcR^A GAEKWARi, II. sp. — Allied to A. regalis, Oberth., 

 but distinguished from that species by a blackish suffusion over 

 the fore-wing. The black spots are also larger. 



Primaries : General colour greyish-black, the area above the 

 submedian nervure and along the inner margin red, which is more 

 or less suffused over the wing ; near the apical area, below the 

 costal margin as far as the second median nervule, a transparent 

 band is visible; the black spots are distributed as in ^. regalis, 

 but are all much larger ; apex and hind-margin brownish-black, 

 followed by a row of red spots, terminating towards the discal 

 area in distinct black streaks. Secondaries : Similar to those 

 of A. regalis; the black spots being somewhat more distinctly 

 marked ; the base of the wing blacker. Under side. — Primaries 

 greyish-black suffused with red, all the black spots strongly 

 indicated, as well as the transparent band ; the row of orange- 

 red spots on the apex and hind-margin well pronounced. 

 Secondaries : Ground colour reddish, suffused with yellowish- 

 white, the black spots larger, with distinct red spots visible near 

 the basal area ; hind-margin black, relieved by semicircular 

 spots of greyish-white, with a second row of orange-red spots. 

 The under side of this species is somewhat similar to that of 

 A. caldarena, Hewits., or A. 'pudorina, Stand. Expanse 2*4 in. 



Hah. Near Laskarato, 3000 feet; 21st Jan., 1899. (The 

 type of this species has been presented to the British Museum 

 by His Highness The Gaekwar of Baroda.) 



An unnamed specimen in the British Museum collection agrees 

 rather closely in pattern, but differs in wanting the transparent 

 patches on the primaries.
