GEORGE H. F. NUTTALL. 



(5) A. pomposiun, Donitz, 1909. The festoons are dark, the three light areas- 

 anteriorly are yellow, a large median and two lateral patches are red, the 

 postero-lateral and posterior markings are greenish. These appearances 

 are described from dead specimens preserved in alcohol or dried. The 

 accompanying illustration accurately renders the disposition of the colour 

 pattern (fig. 44).

(6) A. thoUoni, Neumann, 1899. In alcohol specimens the dark portions are bros\n, 



whilst eight small yellow patches occur along the sides extending backward 

 from the scapulae and being almost equidistant from each other. 



(7) A. marmoreum, Koch, 1844. Numerous irregular light yellowish areas occur 



over the scutum and festoons, they m.ay be more or less obliterated in old 

 ticks or in badly preserved specimens (fig. 45.) 



(8) A. trhnaculatum, Neumann, 1908. We have not seen the male of this species. 



The female scutum shows three light spots (fig. 46).
