colour extends inwards along vein 2 ; this border is marked throughout with narrow 

 orange streaks between the veins, those between 2 and 4 being most distinct and 

 uniting with the discal orange markings, while the apical streaks are more or less 

 evanescent ; beyond the middle of the cell is a large subquadrate black patch, and the 

 proximal corner of space 2 is filled in with a large triangular black patch, which is 

 continued from its lower angle as a transverse bar across space 1 in a direction parallel 

 to the external margin. Hind-wing with an angulated double row of black spots at 

 about one-third from the base, but with most of the spots obscured by two suffusions 

 of black scales radiating from the base ; the upper of these occupies the base of space 8, 

 the lower extends longitudinally for about three-fourths of the cell-length and trans- 

 versely from the lower part of the cell to the inner margin ; the hind border may be 

 described either as orange with short black streaks on the veins, w^hich tend to fuse 

 together internally so as to form a broad, more or less continuous, black submarginal 

 band; or the border may be described as broadly black, with rounded orange spots 

 between the veins. 



Ukdeestde. Fore-wing with the upperside markings showing through, but with the 

 dark orange replaced by flesh-pink, and with a distinct double black spot at the end 

 of the cell; the borders of the wings greyish, the external border with pale orange 

 inter-nervular streaks. Rind-wing generally pale pinkish, darker between the discal 

 rows of spots, bluish-grey externally, and with pale orange triangular inter-nervular 

 patches, the veins narrowly darkened distally ; the double row of black spots shows 

 up very clearly, being bent at right angles between veins 5 and 6 ; the spots occur as 

 follows : one in space 1 a ; two in lb; two in 1 c, the outer one being V-shaped ; one 

 in the inner angle of space 2 ; two larger ones in the apical part of the cell ; two in 

 space 5 ; one in 6 ; and two larger ones in 7. 



The head, thorax, and legs dorsally black, with the usual yellow spots. The 

 abdomen black, the segments having their posterior margins and a rounded spot on 

 each side pale yellow ; the ventral surface yellow, with a dark median stripe. Palpi 

 ochraceous, with stiff black hairs. Antennae black, a little less than half the length 

 of the costa, the ovate flattened club being one-sixth the length of the shaft.

The banding of the hind-wings recalls that of A. laxteri Sharpe (of which only 

 females have been seen by me), but the angulation of the hind-wing band is at 

 interspace 3 in A. laxteri and 5 in A. amicitioe. Ixv both species the distribution of 

 the red and the black at internal margin of the hind-wing is similar, and the shape 

 of the fore-wing is what might be expected in forms of different sexes.
