Observations, described from three specimens sent by Captain James, I. M.S., and Drs. Christophers and Stephens. It is a very well defined and beautiful species, closely related to A. Kochii, Donitz, but quite easily separated from it by the white hind tarsi, the absence of thoracic ocelli, and by the wing ornamentation.
The $ is not known.
The type has been deposited in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) collection. The name was proposed by the collectors.
