A single specimen collected by Capt, Pin will was recorded by Mi, Butler as A. panda, 

 with the qualifying remark, H This appears to be only the worn male of A, nathalia; but the 

 black border seems narrower*" I have examined this specimen, and find the fourth subcostal 

 tuTvulr absent. — n chnraetor which, as bofnrv a-murked, is peculiar to A. gftN&l} -though th<- 

 possession of a specimen of A* nathalia, in which that nervule is present in one wing and not 

 on the other, points to a gradual transition of that character between the two species. 



Male. .L pa win principally differs from .1. nathalia by tho more sulphureous coloration of the wings. 

 Female, Differing principally from tho corresponding sex of A. nathalia by having the ground 

 colour of both wings sulphureous. 

 Exp. wings, 58 millim.
