 inwardly-toothed black border of A. libythea. 



§ . Above white ; fore wing with the costa finely grey, a streak at 

 the end of the cell, a deep costal band on the basal half, filling the 

 upper third of the cell, an apical band, commencing from the first 

 subcostal nervule, and gradually fining down the outer border of the 

 binder angle, iron-grey ; hind wings immaculate. Below white,

 broader, and the hind wings irrorated with grey and a black dot at 

 the end of the cell.
