black ; the outer margin also is broadly black, preceded by a contiguous waved fascia, which is deflected 

 to costa at the lower discoidal nervule, thus enclosing two ochraceous spots ; between these and end of 

 cell the wing is crossed by a waved series of small spots placed between the nervules; the cell is crossed 

 by three pairs of linear fascia?, und is followed by a broader oblique fascia terminating ut first median 

 narrate, and beneath cell are four linear markings, two mar base, the third longest ami broken, the fourth 

 smallest between the lirst and second median nervnles. Posterior wings with a broad outer black margin,

 but the upper one very minute ; on inner bide of these and extending from about the extremities of the 

 submarginoi fascia is a narrow linear and somewhat broken fascia ; other basal markings as in the 

 preceding species, but more distinct. Wings beneath marked generally as above, but with corresponding 

 differences as in A. phalanta.

I am indebted to Mr. P. H, Grosse for the first intimation of this species occurring in our 

 fauna, and his Penang specimen h here figured. I have since received it from Province 

 Wellesley.

Male. Anterior wings above ochraceous ; a dar k waved faueia commencing at costa beyond end 

 of cell, concavely extending to first median nervule, and then obliquely deilexed beneath cell to mar inner 

 margin : within the la*ria iln rolinir brownish, the cell beiujj crossed by four narrow black fuse ho ; the 

 ape\ more or h-ss .-uil'used with blackish, either tolalJy and enclosing some neh 1-uceouu spots, as in the 

 specimen figured, or exhibiting two moderately well-defined oblique fasciae; outer margin broadly blackish, 

 preceded by a narrow eubmarginal line of the same colour, and with fotu small blackish spots, of which 

 three — always visible — are placed two above and one beneath the second median nervule, and the fourth — 

 sometimes fused in the apical coloration as in the specimen figured — situate between the discoidal nervules. 

 Posterior wings of the same hue as the anterior, but with the outer third brownish, inwardly marked by a 

 series of small dark spots placed between the nervules, and with broad marginal and siibmargiual dark 

 fascipe, between which the colour is narrowly pale ochraceous. Anterior wings beneath with the basal 

 dark coloration more violaceous, the cell pale, but dark between the narrow black fascia*, all the dark 

 markings much paler, being brownish or violaceous, and with a series of distinct pale lunulate spots 

 crossing the wing before the dark spots. Posterior wings beneath more or less violaceous, crossed by 

 two central and much-waved narrow and darker fascial, between the upper portions of which the 

 colour is pule oi hrureous and both of which are mole or less outwardly margined with pearly greyish ; 

 a gnyish subrjuadrate spot in cell margined on three of its sides with dark violaceous, the outer diseul 

 spots margined with nifous, but with the one above the first median nervule obsolete ; outer margins pale, 

 as oil anterior wings. Body above coucolorous with wings, beneath greyish or very pale ochraceous. 



Exp. wings, J 50 to titf millim.
