yery fine puter margin in the primaries ; in the secondaries the 

 costa is broadly brown, the outer margin very narrowly black ; 

 abdominal fold dark grey ; no tail. Underside : both wings 

 dull ochreous brown, with spots sliglitly darker, palely edged. 

 Primaries with three small increasing cell-spots, below the third a 

 small spot, and a trace of a spot above on the eosla : transverse 

 maculate band composed of five distinct spots, beginning below 

 the third subcostal nervule ; the second spot is shifted inwards and 

 the third outwards, these first three all being outwardly oblique ; 

 fourth spot shifted well inwards and being almost dislocated ; 

 fifth spot inclined outwards and ending above the lower median 

 nervule ; submarginal row indistinct and indefinite ; submediau 

 and subdiacal area grejish. Secondaries with pattern rather plainer 

 than in the primaries ; four basal spots below each other, the third 

 shifted outwards, followed by three somewhat larger spots below 

 each other ; cell closed by a subovate spot, below which is a small 

 triangular one : transverse maculate band composed of eight spots, 

 the first six being distinct spots, the second shifted outwards, 

 third outwards, fourth outwards again, fifth well inwards, sixth 

 outwards, seventh angular spot dislocated right inwards, eighth 

 long spot almost confluent with this ; submarginal row more dis- 

 tinct than in primaries ; lobe-spot black, and a trace of a black 

 spot in each of the next two nervule interspaces, over which are 

 imposed bright greenish-blue scales. 



5 . Upperside : both wings brown, slightly tinged with purple ; 

 primaries with a patch of violet over the cell, the subdiscal area, 

 and half of the median area ; secondaries with the violet almost 

 conQned to the cell. Underside exactly like the male, but with 

 the pattern slightly more distinct. 



This is nearest to A. antimuia, Peld. {davisoni, de Nicev.), but 

 is a larger insect and purpler in colour, whilst beneath the colour 

 is different and the transverse maculate bands are differently 

 arranged, as described. In the female the violet patch is of quite 

 a different colour and occupies less space in the primaries, and in 

 the secondaries there is not a quarter so much as in A. antlmuta. 

 Its correct position will be between A. hi/pomuta, Hew., and 

 A. antimuta, I"eld.
