Mr. Roland Trimen on some 
In this species both sexes are distinguishable from 
A. caldarena by (1) broader and more rounded wings^ 
(2) absence in the forewing of the subcostal series of 
small black spots beyond the discoidal cell, (3) position 
of spot below first median nervule of forewing further 
from the base than the spot above it, (4) position of 4th 
spot in discal series of hindwing furthest from base of 
all the spots, instead of being near the extremity of the 
discoidal cell_, (5) total absence, on both surfaces, of sub- 
basal disco-cellular spot in hindwing, and (6) rosy-red 
median colouring forming a fascia between the more 
regular premedian and discal series of spots on the 
underside of hindwiog. 
The S is, further, very distinct from the 6 caldarena 
in colouring, being ochreous-yellow, strongly and widely 
suffused with brick-red, instead of very pale creamy- 
ochreous, tinged and shot with pink ; (2) the hind- 
marginal border of the hindwings is much broader ; and 
(3) there is strong and well-defined black basal clouding, 
in place of a faint fuscous suflfasion, in the hindwings. 
The ? is very similar to the larger and darker 
examples of the ? caldarena, but (1), in the forewing, 
the basal fuscous is barely traceable, and (2) the discal 
field is very much paler ; while (3), in the hindwing, the 
black basal suffusion, instead of being generally distri- 
buted, is as restricted as in the 6 . 
Judging from M. Oberthiir's figure^ the 6 is nearer to 
A, cherihula than to A. caldarena, but differs in (1) the 
position and regularity of the two transverse series of 
spots in the hindwing, and, on the underside (2), in 
wanting altogether the three large basal spots and the 
superior subterminal disco- cellular spot. The warm 
colouring of the wings, the blackish basal clouding on 
their upperside, and the arrangement of the two trans- 
verse series of spots on the underside of the hindwings, all 
resemble the corresponding features in A. anacreon, Trim.; 
and, singularly enough, the abdomen is not coloured as 
in the 6 caldarena, but as in the 6 anacreon, being 
black above, with six creamy-yellow spots on each side, 
and with the extremity ochre-yellow. 
Mr. G. A. K. Marshall discovered this butterfly in 
Mashunaland, and I received from him the three 6 6 and 
two ? ? above described in June, 1894. He wrote that he 
noticed the insect only about a clump of isolated granite 
"kopjes^' some three miles from Salisbury, and that.
