Interior line fine dark, nndulate, excurved. Two dots at the cross-vein. Median line single, excurved at vein 4, 
slightly concave at vein 2. Exterior line single, slightly incurved towards the costal margin, edged light outside. 
Submarginal line straight, dentate, the margin behind it somewhat darker. Hindwing with a feeble bent grey 
median line almost to the anal angle, darker behind it, then a submarginal line. 46—52 mm. South Africa. 
A. cupreotincta Hmps. Greyish brown, with a copper gloss. Interior line dark, excurved below the 
costal margin and below the cell. Two black dots at the cross-vein. Median line dark, undulate, excurved as 
far as vein 5, then inward. Exterior line dark brown, bent and dentate. Submarginal line whitish, edged with 
dark copper-brown on both sides. Hindwing greyish brown, with a copper gloss. Median line dark, faded, 
curved. Submarginal line whitish, more purely white at the anal angle, edged with copper-brown inside. Some- 
Avhat white at the apex. $ 56 mm. Uganda. 
A. tornistigma E. Prout. Pale ochreous, more red-brown at the base and behind the middle. Interior 
line black, extra-angular below the costal margin, then obliquely outward, concave in the middle. Reniform 
macula indicated by 3 black dots at the cross-vein. Median line undulate, slightly excurved at vein 4, slightly 
inward at vein 2. Exterior line stronger, more dentate, extending more irregularly, near the median line. 
Marginal area light, obliquely defined from the apex to vein 6, then vertical to the inner margin near the anal 
angle, where a black spot is to be seen. The dark brown hindwing with a light undulate submarginal line and 
traces of a light median line. 50 mm. Sao Thome. 
A. thermopera Hpvps. (28 c). Greyish brown, with a semicircular chocolate brown spot at the apex. 
Interior line undulate, oblique, dark. Reniform macula indistinctly edged dark, a broad dark oblique' shadow 
extends from it to the inner margin. Exterior line indistinct, undulate, far excurved behind the cell, then very 
oblicpxely inward. Traces of a submarginal line from vein 4 to the inner margin. Hindwing also greyish brown, 
darker in the marginal area which exhibits a reddish brown undulate submarginal line. $ 50 mm. Niger District. 
— I have a specimen from East Africa at hand, forming a transition from thermopera to phaeobasis. Interior 
line bluish wliite, as oblique as in thermopera. The apical spot distinctly white and thickly edged, as in p)haeohasis, 
tlie brightening at the anal angle being also the same. The hindwing as dark as in phaeobasis, but the fringe 
in the middle of the distal margin white, and with traces of a light submarginal line as in thermojjera. 
A. atrimacula Oaede (20 f). Reddish brown with a violet reflection, the marking blackish brown. A 
small spot at the base above and below the cell. Interior line extra-angular below the costal margin and below 
the cell, otherwise vertical, a circular large spot before it below the cell. Reniform macula thickly edged with 
black, traversed by a faded dark median shadow extending to the inner margin. Exterior line dentate, shaped 
as in thermopera, but more oblique from the submedian fold, narrowly lighter behind it. Then follows a large 
dark spot at the costal margin as far as the apex, and then the faded dark submarginal band extending close 
behind the exterior line. Hindwing dark red-brown. Indistinct traces of a light sidxmarginal line and median 
line. E 52 mm. East Africa. 
A. phaeobasis Hmps. (28 d). Body and forewing dark red-brown. Interior line dark, oblique, intro- 
angular at vein 1, edged light on both sides. Reniform macula light, indistinct. Exterior line dark, straight, 
oblique as far as vein 6, then dentately inward. A large dark spot behind it at the costal margin. Submarginal 
line dark, faded, with a light spot at the inner margin. Hindwing dark brown, without markings. 48 mm. Sudan, 
Uganda. 
A. albifimbria Wkr. {= apiciplaga Holl.) (28 d). Thorax and forewing yellowish red-brown. Interior 
line doxdrle, dentate, oblique. A luna at the cross-vein, prolonged towards the costal margin. Median line double, 
dentate, slightly excurved behind the cell, then vertical. A spot edged with silvery blue behind it at the costal 
margin, outw'ardly filled with dark brown; the faded dark exterior line proceeds from this spot, edged with a 
few bluish white scales. Submarginal line indicated by the darker, inside dentate margin. Hindwing blackish 
brown, traces of a dark yellow median line and a short submarginal line. — subvariegata Strd. is less yellow, 
more reddish on the forewing. 45—50 mm. West Africa, Uganda. 
A. xanthodera Holl. (28 d) resembles albijimbria in its colouring, with a yellower base of the forewing. 
Interior line single, dentate, oblique. Median shadow very dark, faded, rather vertical, anotlier parallel shadow 
behind it. Exterior hire dentate, extra-angidar at vein 6. Submarginal line yellow, finely dentate, straight. 
Hindwing dark brown, without markings. 48 mm. West Africa. 
A. russoi Strd. Forewing black at the base, border-line oblique. Median area greyish brown, enclosing 
the fine dark reniform macula. Exterior line fine, black, dentate, pointedly ])rojecting far outward at vein 6. 
A large blackish brown spot wdth tapering ends is at the costal margin before the apex. A light submarginal 
line is only discernible near the inner margin, edged dark inside. Hindwing blackish with a submarginal line 
which is light outside, black inside, and traces of a similar line a little more basad. Fringe at the middle of the 
margin white. $ 50 mm. Congo. 
A. ferreotincta Hvips. Body and wings bluish grey, slightly dusted rusty red, especially in the basal
