( = acronycta Westw.). male Both wings above broadly darkened with black-brown from the base to the middle or often to the apex of the cell; upperside of the forewing only with black marginal line or apical spot; the veins not darkened at the distal margin; that of the hindwing with unspotted, almost entire-margined black marginal band 2 mm. in breadth; ground-colour of the upper surface light brown- yellow, occasionally somewhat reddish. Under surface lighter yellow, at the base of the hindwing reddish; marginal band of the hind wing with large light marginal spots; discal dots of both wings rather large, those in cellules 3 to 5 of the hindwing often absent; the dots in cellules 4 to 6 of the forewing touch one another and are placed rather far beyond the apex of the cell. The female (55 c; = lygus Druce [ now species Acraea lygus ]) only differs from the male in the somewhat darker ground-colour of the upper surface, the broader marginal band of the hindwing, a more or less extended white shade in the middle of the hindwing and often also in the broader scaling at the base.
