^ Warm fidvous-ochreous, inclining to rufous^ with narroio hlack 
borders and a fcio Mack sjoots. Forc-iving : base very narrowly marked 
with black, wliich extends for a little distance along inner margin ; 
costa very tliinly black-edged from near base, but more widely near 
apex ; hind-margin narrowly black-edged throughout, and all the ner- 
vules near it clearly defined with black, those near apex for the 
greatest length, and the submedian nervure least of all ; basal area 
thinly irrorated with black ; in discoidal cell near extremity a moderate- 
sized reniform spot ; at extremity an elongate and more irregular mark- 
ing of about the same size ; a little beyond the cell, between subcostal 
nervure and third median nervule, an oblique row of three small rounded 
contiguous spots ; immediately bounding the second and third spots of 
this row externally, two small elongate transparent markings with ill- 
defined edges ; below the third spot of the row, and well separated from 
it, a very small rounded black spot, between third and second median 
nervules ; a similar slightly larger spot between median and submedian 
nervures, on edge of basal irroration ; and a third, larger and not so 
rounded, between first median nervule and submedian nervure beyond 
middle. Hind-iving : base more widely marked with black than in 
fore-wing ; black spots very small and few in number, viz,, two in dis- 
coidal cell (that near base confounded with black suff'usion) ; one on 
upper disco- cellular nervule ; one above and one below cell ; and five 
minute ones in a very irregular discal row about middle (interrupted 
widely about the branching of median nervure), of wliich only the first, 
fourth, and fifth are distinct ; hind-margin with a rather narrow, well- 
marked, unspotted black border. Under side. — Hind-iving and apical 
area of fore-wing cream- colour dusted finely with grey, Forc-tui^ig : a 
narrow edging of cream-colour along costa ; spots as on upper side, with 
the addition of a black dot on costa at base ; ground-colour paler, 
more glossy, inclining to pink ; apical and hind-marginal cream-colour 
crossed by conspicuous inter-nervular orange rays, of which the longest is 
between subcostal nervure and upper radial ; nervules and hind-margins 
more finely and thinly defined with black than on upper side, particu- 
larly the latter. Hind-wing : black spots better defined than on upper 
side, especially those of median transverse row ; an additional one on 
^ In explanation of ray having named and described this species so soon after Professor 
Westwood, I may mention that the paper referred to was read on the 3d August 1 88 1, when 
the work containing A. Aglaonice had not appeared. The work in question was published on 
the 15th August, whereas Part III. of the Entomological Society s Transactions, containing 
my paper, was not published until the 7th September.
