by a number of white spots as in A. damocles; the white spot 
between the first and second median nervule not extending so 
far as in the last-named species; all the spots somewhat 
smaller in size than in A. damocles. 
Secondaries with more than half the wing brownish black ; 
the basal area pale ochre; near the hind margin a row of 
nearly obsolete whitish spots, those near the apical area being 
the most strongly marked. 
Underside. Central area of the primaries dark brownish 
black, the apical area lighter brown; all the white spots 
distinctly marked, but much reduced in size when compared 
with those of A. damocles. Secondaries with more than half 
the wing light brown, the basal area pale ochre-yellow ; the 
extreme base dark brown, this colour extending along the 
costal margin; near the hind margin a distinct row of white 
spots, varying in size and situated between the nervules; on 
the extreme edge a row of minute white twin-spots. 
6. Expanse 4:1 inches. 
Hab. Mushari, 8000 feet. June. 
This species may be considered one of the many forms 
belonging to the groups of A. damocles and A. echeria, but it 
is one of the most pronounced and distinct of all the races 
which a certain school of entomologists unite under one 
heading, ignoring the fact that differences of coloration are 
accompanied by a separate and distinct geographical distri- 
bution.

4. Gnophodes Grogant, sp. n. 
Allied to G. parmeno, Doubl. & Hewits., but at once distin- 
guished by the large dark brand on the primaries. 
Primaries. Ground-colour rich brown, with a distinct 
transverse band of dull ochreous yellow near the apical area; 
this band broadest on the costal margin and gradually dimin- 
ishing along the hind margin; a large dark brown brand 
above the sub-median nervure, extending into the cell. The 
outline of the wings is more rounded than in G. parmeno, 
especially as regards the primaries. 
Secondaries. Kintirely rich brown, with a pale fulvous line 
indicated along the hind margin. 
Underside. Very similar to that of G. parmeno, but with the
