DESCRIPTION. 



Body and wings very black. Orbit of the eyes externally cloathed with white hairs : base-covers or 

 tippets whitish : primary wings with three very white spots, one near the base oblique, obversely 

 wedge-shaped, divided into two by a longitudinal black line; next, at a little distance from the 

 anterior margin, is a subtrapezoidal, small, white spot, between which and the posterior margin is an 

 articulate band, abbreviated at each end, of the same colour, consisting of six spots divided by black 

 lines ; the same spots distinguish the under surface of these wings, and besides there is a whitish 

 longitudinal one in the costal area : in the secondaries are also three white spots on both surfaces, 

 viz. a large rectangular one near the base divided longitudinally into four ; a longitudinal undivided 

 one at the anterior margin ; and an articulate posterior abbreviated band, divided into five spots : the 

 longitudinal costal streak may almost be regarded as forming a sixth as the lower end is parallel 

 with the last spot of the band : the four anterior legs are externally covered with long orange 

 coloured hairs, which character is also found in A. octomaculata.
