In fliglit the members of this genus have a very deliberate, floating 
motion, and keep much about one spot. Unless they happen to be 
sporting about some elevated branches beyond the collector's reach, 
they are usually easy of capture.

Deep velvety-hlacJv, with jmle ochrey-yelloiv and white spots. Forc- 
iving : in discoidal cell, a little beyond its middle, a narrow, elongate, 
irregularly shaped, oblique, yellow spot ; below cell, and in an oblique 
line with the last-named spot (but a little beyond it), between second 
and first median nervules, a conspicuous, oval, large spot, — the largest 
on the wing ; at extremity of cell, but above sub-costal nervure, a small 
yellow spot ; a little beyond, and in a line with it, close to costa, a 
yellow dot is the first of a row of four spots, obliquely crossing apical 
portion of wing to near hind-margin, of which the second and third 
are the largest, and somewhat quadrate in form, and the fourth is near 
hind-margin, immediately beneath third median nervule ; two small 
white spots near apex, that nearest costa being often split into two by 
the third subcostal nervule ; near hind- margin, a small yellow spot 
beneath second median nervule, and another similar spot below first 
median nervule ; in some specimens, on hind-margin about middle, and 
more rarely near apex, a few minute yellow or white dots ; fringe 
narrow, white dotted. Hind-wing : on costa, about middle, commences 
a yellow band, which at first extends to extremity of discoidal cell, 
whence it abruptly turns almost at right angles, and in a suddenly 
much broadened form, to inner margin, of which it occupies the greater 
portion, — it is divided into nine unequal portions by the nervures 
crossing it ; near hind-margin a row of yellow spots parallel to it, 
varying from three to nine in number ; S badge on submedian ner- 
vure well marked, but smaller than in A. Ochlea. Under side. — 
Very similar in marking, hut paler than upper side. Fore-wing : spots 
close to costa, and near hind-margin, white ; row of white dots along 
hind-margin clearly defined and numerous, arranged in pairs between 
nervules, — two pairs between first median nervule and submedian 
nervure ; apical portion of wing tinted darh-broiun. Hind-wing : 
glossed with hroiun, particularly in hind-marginal portion ; two con-
