One example of the variety noted P. Z. S. 1888, p. 66. The 

 true A. ca'cilia is probably a seasonal (certainly a dimorphic) form 

 of A. lycia : it only differs from the typical phase in its tawny 

 coloration.

Described, according to Staudinger, fi-om a single fresh male ; 

 this does not appear from the illustration, for fresh males have the 

 wings far more rosy above, and, below, the apical area of the 

 primaries and disc of the secondaries are cream-coloured, with inter- 

 nervular reddish tawuy streaks : after they have flown for a time 

 the cream-colouring seems to get worn (or perhaps darkened) and 

 the streaking is thereby lost ; most males show three black spots 

 in a shghtly angular oblique series across the centre of primaries, 

 but in some examples the two lower spots are wanting (Staudiugers 

 figui-e shows a trace of the lowest, but not the middle spot). The 

 female above is of a smoky vinous tint, blackish towards the base, 

 and quite black at base of cell in secondaries : the apical area of 

 primaries smoky fulvous, the costal third and the outer margin 

 more broadly black than in any of tlie male examples; the external 

 border of the secondaries black, ^ith faint brownish indications of 

 the submarginal spots. Expanse of wings 56 millim. 



There is not the slightest question that this is a local represen-
