ZOOLOGY OF FEIGSTAjSTDO NOBONHA.

continued on the hind wings. The second line commences at two 
thirds of the length of the wing in another dark shade on the 
costa, which runs obliquely to another black spot, below which it 
is continued in grey festoons across both pairs of wings, forming 
more than a half-circle on the basal side of a conspicuous black 
spot on the hind wings. The third line is the most conspicuous, 
and is formed of a series of black spots connected by a grey line 
on the fore wings, which curves inwards twice, a little above the 
middle, and again above the inner margin. On the hind wings it 
forms a nearly continuous black line, curving outwards at one 
fourth of the distance from the costa, and again, in a wider and 
more regular curve, below the middle. At the base of the fringes 
runs a row of black dashes, and between these and the third line 
are a series of indistinct greyish markings. Underside grey-white, 
with the central spots indicated, but not conspicuous. Head 
black above; body and legs grey; abdomen rather indistinctly 
banded with black above, and with a blackish space at the base of 
the anal tuft; femora tawny beneath, front femora and tibiae 
blackish above; antennae tawny, alternating with whitish above. 
Allied to A. retractaria from Florida, but darker and more 
distinctly marked.
