 Base of wing with a few indistinctly marked black spots. 



Underside.— Fore wimj. Similar in colour and markings to the

AlUed to A. boiiasia, Fabr., but easily distinguished by the 

 colour of the fore wing. 



Fore wiivj. General colour brownish black, relieved by spots of 

 orange-red. This species has two small red spots near the apex in 

 place of the large oval patch of A. honasia. Near the end of the 

 discoidal cell is a spot, followed by a larger one between the first 

 and second median nervules ; directly under the latter nervule, 

 while somewhat nearer to the hind margin, is a small triangular- 

 shaped spot of red. The middle of the cell has a small ovate spot 

 of orange somewhat paler in tint. 



Hind H'ini/. AVith a broad broM nish-black border on the hind 

 margin extending along the costa and occupying the base of the 

 wing. The Mhole of the central portion of the wing orange-red, 

 becoming pale vellow below the first median nervule. This 

 portion of the wing has several small black spots, with a larger 

 one marking the middle of the discoidal cell; there is one spot 

 between the submedian nervule and the first median nervule, 

 followed by two minute spots placed one above the other below 

 the first-named nervule. At the end of the cell are three spots 

 varying in size between the third median, radial, and second sub- 

 costal nervules, and just above the middle spot there is another 

 situated in the fork of the radial and the first discocellular 

 nervule. 



Underside. Very similar to that of A. tuivioin, the markings of 

 the upper surface being plainly indicated on the underside.
