A. bachi Stiff. (12 cl?). Both wings above and beneath with white ground-colour, the forewing beneath bachi. 
at the base orange-yellow to the middle of the cell; both surfaces of the forewing with a grey marginal band, 
which is ornamented at the ends of the veins with triangular, black spots; the hindwing at the extremities 
of the veins with blackish marginal spots, which above are very large and united into a marginal band. 
The only known specimen of this .species came from Guinea; it possibly represents only a female form of 
the preceding or the following species.

A. rhodope F. (lid cf, e ?). In the cf the wings are white on both sides; the forewing has an rhodope. 
orange-yellow basal spot and a marginal band continuous to vein 2, which is above unicolorous black or 
spotted with grey, beneath more or less grey. In the ? the forewing has above a yellow ground-colour, a 
very broad, yellow-spotted, black marginal band, extending to the hinder angle, and a black basal part; 
beneath it is yellow to the base and has a lighter marginal band reduced by the extension of the yellow 
spots to a proximal curved line and black marginal spots; the hindwing is white; beneath at the base of the 
costal margin broadly yellow and has 8 large black marginal spots, almost contiguous above. Sierra Leone 
to the Congo region, ab. dopero Stiff, only differs in the larger size of the orange-yellow basal patch of dopero 
the forewing, which reaches to beyond the middle of the cell; Cameroons. 
A. narcissus Btlr. ?. Forewing light ochre-yellow with a grey, crescent-shaped subapical band; veins narcissus. 
light yellowish, almost separating a row of black marginal spots from one another; hindwing light lemon- 
yellow with heart-shaped, dark brown marginal spots at the extremities of the veins; forewing beneath ochre- 
yellow with light cream-yellow costal margin and saffron-yellow basal spot in the cell; the grey subapical 
band indistinct, marginal spots smaller than above, fringes black; hindwing beneath butter-yellow, the base 
of the costal margin bright saffron-yellow, marginal spots as above; breast cream-yellow, abdomen flesh-coloured. 
Expanse 59 mm. Perhaps only a female form of rhodope. Angola. 
A. phaola DM. (11c cT 1 , d ?). cf: both wings above white to the base; the forewing above with narow phaola 
black costal margin and broad black marginal band, which is continuous at least to vein 2, but often to the 
hinder angle and in cellules 1 b—3 has proximally a deep triangular incision; in cellules 4—6 it is either- 
adorned with a small white spot or almost divided by a thin white line; forewing beneath white, at the 
apex and distal margin light yellowish for about the breadth of the marginal band of the upper surface and 
at the base bright yellow to vein 2; at the extremities of veins 1 — 8 are placed small, rounded marginal spots 
and on veins 2—4 black submarginal spots, of which those on veins 2 and 3 are more or less united with 
the corresponding marginal spot; the hindwing has on both sides distinct, rounded black marginal spots and 
is beneath slightly yellowish, almost cream-coloured, at the base of the costal margin bright yellow. In the 
? the wings are above grey-white, or, especially the hindwing, yellowish white; the forewing is broadly 
suffused with blackish at the base and the costal margin, and its marginal band has in all the cellules distinct, 
somewhat rounded yellowish white spots; beneath the wings are coloured and marked quite as in the cf, 
except that the submarginal spots of the forewing are somewhat larger and one is also present on vein 4; 
the marginal spots of the hindwing above are much larger than in the cf. Is met with from Togo to the 
southern part of the Congo State. ?-ab. ochrea Bart, only differs from the typical ? in having the forewing ochrea 
light ochre-yellowish on both sides and the hindwing above dirty grey, tinged with yellowish and dusted 
with blackish; Togo. 
A. isokani Gr.-Sm. is very nearly allied to the preceding species and perhaps only its East African isokani. 
race. The black marginal band of the forewing above is somewhat narrower and in cellules 1 b—3 or 4 so 
deeply incised by the white ground-colour that it is almost broken up into sharply triangular spots, in cellules 
5 and 6 the ground-colour enters far into the band as a thin white line; on the under surface the marginal 
spots are entirely absent and the base of the forewing is only very slightly yellowish; the marginal spots of 
the hindwing above and the submarginal spots on veins 2 and 3 of the underside of the forewing are either 
present as small dots or entirely absent, ab. nagare Gr.-Sm. In the ? the wings are above dirty yellowish, nagare. 
but marked as in the cf, only with larger marginal spots on the hindwing above and with distinct submarginal 
spots on the forewing beneath. British East Africa. 
A. lasti Gr.-Sm. (lie). Forewing on both sides white to the base, above with the black marginal lasti. 
band a little broader, only continuous to vein 3, and with black marginal spots on veins 1 a and 2, beneath 
yolk-yellow at the apex and with black marginal dots at the extremities of the veins; hindwing above sulphur- 
yellow, beneath yolk-yellow, on both sides with 7 small rounded marginal spots at the extremities of the veins. 
The ? only differs from the cf in having the marginal band of the forewing twice as broad and the marginal 
spots of the hindwing much larger. German and British East Africa. 
A. majungana Smith. Forewing white, on both sides with a reddish basal spot in the cell, which majungana.

deeply divided by thin white streaks at the interneural folds; beneath at the distal margin yellowish without
