AMPITTIA. By Dr. C. Aukivillius. 
§§. The yellow or white spot of the hindwing above is very large and covers both a part of the discal 
cell and the base of area 1 c. Expanse of wings: 26 to 32 mm. 
1. Hindwing beneath quite light yellow or at the margins more or less darkened. Fringes yellow. 
A. pardalinus. 
2. Hindwing beneath snow-white. Fringes blackish. A. clispar. 
p. Hindwing above yellow, only at the costal margin as far as vein 7 black. A. amena. 
B. Hindwing above unicoloured blackish-brown without markings. 
a. Hindwing beneath blackish with distinctly defined light yellow spots and thinly speckled with yellowish 
scales. Expanse of wings: 20 to 23 mm. A. rhadama. 
p. Hindwing beneath of a monotonous brownish yellow or greyish yellow without any marking or with 
indistinct pale yellow spots. Forewing above with 1 or 2 spots in the discal cell and discal spots at 
least in 2 and 3. Expanse of wings: about 27 mm. 
*. Hindwing beneath with dull yellow spots. A. cariate. 
A. bernieri. 
**. Hindwing beneath greyish-yellow without spots. A. mirza. 
coroller. A. coroller Bsd. Wings above black with an orange-yellow marking. Forewing above at the costal 
margin almost from the base to vein 9 with a yellow stripe covering also the anterior longitudinal half of the 
discal cell and uniting with a square spot at the apex of the cell; this spot touches the discal spots in 2 and 3, 
which are contiguous to the spots in 1 b and 4; a separate yellow subapical spot in 5 to 8. Hindwing above 
in the centre with a large yellow area composed of large discal spots of the areas 1 c to 5 and also penetrating 
more or less into the apex of the discal cell. Forewing beneath almost quite brownish-yellow, only in 1 a and 
1 b with a black ground-colour and with black submarginal spots in 2 to 7, the two former being large, 
the others punctiform. Hindwing beneath yellow with indistinct dark spots in the basal part and blackish 
discal streaks behind the centre in 1 c to 7. Vein 5 of the forewing is not quite straight, the antennae are 
somewhat longer than in the other species, and besides the marking is also different . I can therefore consider 
coroller to be merely a deviating species of Ampittia,. The antennal club, however, is short with an obtuse 
yellow tip. 
parva. A. parva sp. n. Wings above black with golden yellow markings. Forewing above before the discal 
cell with a yellow stripe reaching to the apex of the discal cell but not to the costal margin itself; in the discal 
cell only a short longitudinal streak at the anal margin, opposite vein 2; the discal spots 1 b to 3 form a 
transverse spot outside of the apex of the discal cell; a yellow roundish subapical spot in (5) 6 to 8 is almost 
right in front of the discal cell. Hindwing above behind the centre with a yellow discal band in 1 c. to 
5, which does not penetrate into the discal cell. Forewing beneath black with the same yellow markings as 
above and besides with a yellow marginal band between the apex and vein 3. Hindwing beneath yellow, in 
the centre of a deeper yellow, with black marginal spots in 1 c to 7, discal spots in 1 c, 2 and 7, and some 
indistinctly defined black markings in the basal part. Last palpal joint long, porrect, roughly scaled. Usambara: 
Mombo (Sjostedt). It strongly recalls the <$ of the Indian A. maro F. (Vol. I, pi. 87 d), but it is still smaller 
and has a different under surface of the hindwing. The $ is unknown to me. 
A. pardalina, In all the forms of this species the forewing above is black with a yellow spot in the 
discal cell and two groups of yellow discal spots, one in 2 and 3 and one before the apex in 6 to 8 or at 
pardalina. least in 6 and 7. Hindwing above with a large orange central area. Madagascar. — pardalina Btlr. Forewing 
on both sides with a small discal dot near the margin in area 5 and with a subcostal dot in 10. The spot in 
labordei. the discal cell is transversely cut off towards the base. — labordei Oberth. only differs by the spot of the 
saclavus. discal cell being at the anal margin extended into a yellow streak almost reaching to the base. —- In saclavus 
gallieri. Mob. the discal spot 5 of the forewing is absent, but not the dot in 8. — gallieri Oberth. only differs from saclavus 
by the absence of the discal dot 8 of the forewing. —- In all the forms the hindwing beneath is yellow, but all 
round more or less darkened or with a dark longitudinal streak in 1 c and dark submarginal spots. 
dispar. A. dispar Mob. is distinguished by the snow-white under surface of the hindwing. Forewing only 
with 4 or 5 small spots or dots, one in the discal cell and one each in 2, 3, 6 (and 7), of which only those 
in 2 and 3 are contiguous. The central spot of the hindwing above is brimstone-coloured in the white 
disparilis. in the $. Madagascar. — disparity Oberth. seems only to differ by the costal margin of the forewing beneath 
at the base being broadly white and the large yolk-coloured ($) or white (?) central spot of the hindwing above 
being somewhat smaller and more rounded off. Madagascar. 
amena. A. amena Gr.-Sm. is unknown to me. Forewing above dark brown with a large yellow macula covering 
the costal margin and the discal cell almost to the base and extending also behind and outside of the discal 
cell as far as vein 2; a yellow subapical transverse streak and a yellow dot behind it nearer at the margin.
