light brown beyond it : the base itself grey : the costal margin and costal nervure

This butterfly bears but slight resemblance to any other species of Adolias. The anterior wing is 

 of different form and the colouring of the underside singular. I cannot however, find any characters 

 sufficiently marked by which to separate it. The cell of the anterior wing is closed, that of the pos- 

 terior wing is open. The branches of the subcostal nervure are exactly as in A. Lubentina. 



ADOLIAS APH1DAS. S. 



Upperside rufous-brown ; both wings crossed by a continuous oblique band of 

 dark brown, commencing at the apex of the anterior wing and reaching to the mid- 

 dle of the abdominal fold of the posterior wing. Anterior wing with a black line, 

 two oblong spots (one within, the other just beyond the cell) and two smaller spots 

 below these ; crossed at the middle by a curved band of five clouded-white spots ; 

 the outer margin dark brown. Posterior wing with two oblong spots near the base ; 

 crossed beyond the middle by a band of dark brown lunular spots. 



Underside as above, except that it is orange-yellow ; that the band described 

 above as continuous, is much more distinct on the anterior wing, but scarcely seen on 

 the posterior wing ; that the spots near the base of the anterior wing and the band 

 of white spots are all bordered with black : that there is a sixth white spot below 

 the band of five spots ; that the apex is white ; that the posterior wing has the 

 usual black spots and lines near the base, but indistinctly marked.
