296 Alphabetical List of the African Libytheids and Lemoniids. 
A. gerontes F. To what has been said in the review, we may only add that the forewing above is 
somewhat lighter before the apex, whilst beneath it has a whitish subapical band. Both wings are beneath 
at the base whitish and then dark brown as far as the white transverse band; the areas 1 c to 3 of the hindwing 
are yellow at the margin with silvery transverse streaks bordered with black. Sierra Leone to Congo and Uganda. 
A. delicata Lathy. Both wings above at the base grey, then with a very broad white transverse band 
indistinctly defined proximad; apical part of the forewing blackish-brown, but without an eye-spot, a light 
submarginal line being indicated, beneath with a white subapical band reaching the posterior angle. Nyassa 
District as far as British East Africa. 
A. dewitzi Auriv. deviates from the following species only by the entire absence of the white subapical 
band of the forewing above, and is perhaps only a form of it. Southern Congo District. 
A. rogersi Druce (61 a). Forewing on both sides with a white subapical band reaching vein 4 in the 
<£, the posterior angle in the $; the joint median band is sharply defined, of a moderate width, and on the hind¬ 
wing posteriorly obliquely cut off and surrounding the eye-spots. Forewing without a black dot in area 6. Congo 
District, Angola and Ruanda. — ab. geryon Stgr. deviates only by the forewing showing a black dot before 
the apex in the area 6. Congo District. 
A. tantalus Hew. (61 a). Only the $ is known. Wings above dark brown with distinct, yellow-ringed 
eye-spots; forewing with two postmedian whitish spots, one of which extends from the middle of the costal 
margin, in an oblique direction towards the posterior angle, to vein 3, whilst the other is triangular and situate 
between the former spot and the eye-spot. Hindwing between the proximal margin and vein 4 with two light 
antemarginal lines. Gold Coast to Angola. 
A. intermedia Auriv. (61 a). <$. We may simply add to what has been said in the review, that both 
wings show beneath two light transverse lines. It may be the <$ of tantalus. Cameroon. 
A. rutherfordi. Wings beneath brown with two light transverse lines about 4 mm distant from each 
other which are in an oblique direction towards the posterior angle on the forewing, undulate and parallel to 
the marking on the hindwing. — In the chief form rutherfordi Heui. (61 a) the velvety spot of the forewing in the 
$ is large, triangular, about 5 mm long, and the $ has a round blue spot at the proximal margin of the forewing 
in 1 a and 1 b. Old Calabar and Cameroon. -— herwigi Dew. differs by the velvety spot being small and round, 
and by the entire absence of the blue spot on the $ forewing. Southern Congo District. 
A. talantus Auriv. (61 a). <$. Forewing above with two blue transverse bands, the proximal one of 
which reaches the proximal margin and is very broad there, whilst the distal one extends about between the 
veins 4 and 8. Hindwing above at the costal margin broadly blue, and with two blue antemarginal lines in 
2 and 3. Wings beneath brown; forewing with two white transverse bands, hindwing with a white median 
band and a large white basal spot. — $. Both wings above and beneath with a brown ground-colour; forewing 
above with three light transverse bands, the innermost of which (above the middle) is bluish, the others 
being whitish; hindwing at the costal margin not or only little blue, and in the areas 1 b to 3 with two whitish 
antemarginal lines; wings beneath almost like in the the forewing, however, with three white transverse 
bands, and the hindwing without a light basal spot. Old Calabar and Cameroon.
