like A. caldarenaj it seemed particularly partial to spots 
where the long " Tambookie grass grew. Its flight 
was a great deal slower than that of caldarena, and, 
indeed, the slowest of any member of the genus observed 
by Mr. Marshall. As far as the captor remembered, 
A. induna first appeared towards the end of January, and 
disappeared about the middle of March. A pair was 
subsequently captured by Mr. Marshall in the Mazoe 
Yalley, near Salisbury, on the 15th October.

^ . Cupreous-hrownj with a general violaceous gloss • a fuscous 
line on hindmarginal edge; cilia fuscous^ indistinctly and unequally 
marked with winte hetioeen nervules. Forewing : a very large, 
roughly heart-shaped, velvety-hlacJc patch, thinly edged with bluish- 
violaceous scales, on upper discal area, placed obliquely between 
2nd subcostal and 2nd median nervules, and with its narrower 
end nearest apex, while the upper lobe of its broader end is just 
at extremity of discoidal cell. Hindvnng : tail at extremity of 1st 
median nervule rather long, twisted spirally, rather wide, fuscous, 
edged and tipped with white ; on hindmargin, above 1st median 
nervule, an indistinct fuscous spot, and below it a faint trace of 
another similar spot. Underside : Hindioing and hroad apical 
area of forewing hrownish-grey, crossed transversely by darker suh- 
7nacular markings edged (in hindwing very conspicuously^ with white 
on both sides ; inner marginal, loiver discal, and disco-cellular area of 
forewing pale cUdl brownish-ochre-yellow. Forewing : base tinged 
with fuscous ; a very short white edging on costa close to base ; in 
discoidal cell, two or three white dots obliquely placed close to 
base, a subreniform median slightly browner, thinly fuscous- and 
white-edged spot, and a larger, less complete terminal marking 
(open superiorly and inferiorly) ; above these cellular markings two 
or three small white spots on costa, continuous of their white 
edgings ; beyond middle, a confluent series of five or six dark grey 
fuscous- and white-edged spots, of which the 5th and 6th are 
narrower and much fainter than the rest, the 6th, below 1st median
