angle, on inner margin, as far as radial nervule ; on hind-margin, 
nervules clouded with blackish, forming a narrow border, dentate 
inwardly, but not forming nearly such sharp and deep indentations on 
the ground-colour as in fore-ioing. Under side. — Fore-wing : iiaUr 
than on upper side ; base with a black spot, but not clouded with 
blackish ; spots as on upper side, but rather smaller and not so black ; 
apical portion, beyond transverse row of four spots, pale whitish- 
yellow, with orange-ochreous rays between the nervules, which are 
narrowly clouded with black ; a narrow yellowish edging along costa. 
Hind-iving : pale ivhitish-yellow ; two or three additional small black 
spots near base ; transverse rows of spots as on lup^per side ; base, inner 
margin as far as outer row, and internal edge of straight portion of the 
latter row of spots, clouded with reddish-ochreous between nervules ; 
space between outer row and parallel streak from inner margin wholly 
spotless, forming a conspicuous pale band, in consequence of there 
being elongate reddish-ochreous marks all along hind-margin beyond 
streak between the nervules, which are narrowly black clouded. 
$ Didlcr, varying from pale yclloiv-oclireous tinged with hroiun to 
pale dusky -grey ; but similar in marking. Fore-wing : an additional, 
more or less observable, small, thin, black spot, below median nervure, 
not far from base ; other spots as in ^, but larger and fainter ; a paler 
space of colour sometimes tinged with whitish beyond transverse row 
from costa; blackish clouding on nervules not nearly so strong or 
clearly-defined as in being much suffused. Hind-tving : quite like 
$ 's, excepting that the hind-marginal clouding is duller. Under side. 
— Universally paler. Fore-iving : ochreous inter- nervular rays fainter. 
Hind-iving : hind-marginal inter-nervular markings ill-defined, the 
three next costa obsolete ; fuscous streak wider than in 
In the greyest $ s there is but a faint tinge of yellow-ochreous in 
the fore-wing, while its apical area and the whole field of the hind-wing 
have a greenish tinge with the reddish-ochreous markings almost 
obliterated. 
A rather dull-coloured female sent from the Tsomo River, Kaffraria, 
by Colonel Bowker, is remarkable for the enlargement and partial con- 
fluence of the spots on the upper side of the fore- wing ; the spot in 
discoidal cell being united by a long ray to the spot at the end of the 
cell, and the latter spot again being united by a similar ray to the third 
spot of the oblique subapical bar ; the discal dark streak on the under 
side of the hind- wing is also enlarged and sufiused externally. A $ 
taken by Mr. J. M. Hutchinson at Estcourt, Natal, has the dark 
borders and spots of the upper side all much enlarged but normal 
otherwise. 
A. Rahira is a very distinct species, its only ally in South- 
Africa being A. Anacreon, Trim., readily recognised by the maculated 
hind-marginal border of the hind-wings. It is, however, closely related 
to A. Zitja, Boisd., of Madagascar, but the latter is of a deep fulvous-
