General colour brownish black, \\itli large spots on both wijigs, 

 being very distinctly pronounced and of a velvety black appear- 

 ance. 



Fore tving. Costa and inner margin brown, apex and hind margin 

 darker, as also the base of wing ; discoidal cell from base to apical 

 portion transparent grey, including the discal area and extending 

 below the first median nervule. Between the latter and the sub- 

 median nervure are two black spots, one near the base and the 

 second one near the hind margin ; above the first median nervule 

 is a third spot, close to the discoidal cell, followed by a fourth 

 one between the second and third median nervules. Immediately 

 above this third median nervule follow three black spots very close 

 together, but all situated between the above-mentioned nervule 

 and the second and first discoidal or radial nervules. There is 

 a large black spot at the end of the cell, ^\•ith a second one about 

 halfway from the base of the wing. 



Hiyid winrf. Brownish black with darker border on liind margin, 

 rather inclined to become transparent across the disk. Base of 

 wing very thickly spotted with black, the spots becoming more 

 separated and more distinct towards the disk. As in the fore 

 wing, there is a large black spot at the end of the cell. Zrom the 

 costal nervure to below the submedian nervure is a submarginal 

 row of black spots, but each spot distinctly between each nervule. 



Underside. IBoth wings much lighter brown than on the upper- 

 side, with the borders and all the spots very distinctly indicated. 



Thorax and body black ; abdomen deep red, with a little red also 

 between the head and thorax. 



Expanse 2g inches. 



My friend Dr. Staudinger has had an example of this species in 

 his collection for some time under the M8. name of A. niohe. He 

 has kindly sent me over his type for comparison, and 1 have had 

 much pleasure in describing the species under the name which he 

 had given to it.

Similar to A. jienehos. Ward, but at once distinguished by the 

 absence of any bright colour on the fore wing. 



Fore iv'mg. Entirely black with three transparent grey spaces, 

 ■just prevented from representing one large patch by the black 

 lines of the second and third discoidal nervules. This grey patch
