The various difFereutl)' coloured forms united here under /lierax are neither 

 local nor seasonal. In man)' places all the i'orm.s occur together at the same 

 time of the year, but one form may be much rarer than the other. The inter- 

 gradations also occur together with the more extreme varieties. Judging from 

 the dated specimens, it appears that individuals from pupae that have hibernated 

 are small, and have the band of the forewing never all white. 



The males can conveniently be divided into some main groups of individuals, 

 each main group again being arbitrarily divisible into a number of groups, as 

 the individuals vary so much that scarcely any two are found alike, if one 

 compares the upper- and undersides. Although it is convenient for the student 

 of variation to have names for the individual varieties, we think it would not 

 be wise to introduce new names for those forms of the present subspecies which 

 have escaped being baptized by Felder, Butler, or Moore. We arrange, therefore, 

 the following exposition in such a manner that the ten names given by those 

 authors to individuals of C/i. polijxena kierax are a sufficient supply. It is 

 needless to say that the groups of specimens arc not sharply defined. 



S. I. White band of forewing extending to internal margin. Basal area 

 of wings, above, blackish tawny olive to tawny, mostly with white scaling at 

 proximal side of median bars ; specimens without postdiscal interstitial spots 

 on forewing are cJ-f. pUistoanax {^ Ithimalaru), specimens with such spots 

 are <J-f. khasianus. 



II. White band of forewing stopping at SM', or absent, with intergradations. 

 I«. White submarginal dots of hindwiug in centre of postdisco-submarginal 

 patches B,' — SM', or nearer their outer edge.
