Ngatana. 



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

 true A. uecilia is probably a seasonal (certainly a dimorphic) form 

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

 coloration.

Described, according to Staudinger, from 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 inler- 

 nervular reddish tawny 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 slightly angular oblique series across the centre of primaries, 

 but in some examples the two lower spots are wanting ( Staudinger's 

 figure 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 the male examples; the external 

 border of the secondaries black, with faint brownish indications of 

 the submarginal spots. Expanse of wings 56 millim. 



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