plant it is on ; it lies in the middle of the leaf and pupates as a rule 

 on the underside of the last leaf it has been on when still feeding ; 

 the pupa is attached rigidly at an angle of about 45° to leaf surface. 

 The flight is the same as described for the other imagines of the 

 genus, the males bask with wide-opened wings on the tops of the 

 trees and generally towards afternoon, the females are only seen in 

 the underwood ; both distain flowers but visit fruits and trunks and 

 stems of trees for sap. The insect is found in the plains sporadically 

 near the hills and is distributed in the low hills of the Himalaya 

 from Hardwar to Sikhim ; eastward through Assam and Burma 

 to Sumatra ; and in peninsular India southward from Bombay. The 

 food-plants of the larva are mistletoes of diff'erent sorts ; Loranthus 

 scurrula, L. and Loranthus longifloriis^ Desrouss, being two upon 

 which the larva has been found ; these mistletoes grow in the same 

 way as our home one, that is are parasitic on trees of different sorts 

 attaching themselves to the branches where they form conspicuous 

 clumps of leaves. 



43. Euthalia garuda Moore (PI. C. fig. \1 $ , i7a9). — Male: upperside 

 olivaceous green-brown or olivaceous green. Forewing : two transverse black, 

 lines at base of cell, a black loop across middle and another at end, with their 

 centres dark-brown, followed by an angulated discal dark-brown band border- 

 ed outwardly by a series of five white spots ; two pre-apical white spots beyond 

 and a broad, somewhat diffuse subterminal black band broadening over the apex 

 angulated inwards in interspace 1. Hindwing shaded with dark brown at base, 

 two crescent-shaped dark brown loop -like marks in cell ; a discal series of dark- 

 brown elongate, outwardly acute, inwardly diffuse, somewhat hastate spots 

 followed by a subterminal series of small spots of the same colour. Underside 

 ochraceous brown. Forewing : five transverse slender black lines across the 

 cell, a black spot below median nervure ; discal and pre-apical white spots as 

 above succeeded by a postdiscal series of somewhat diffuse crescent-shaped 

 black marks and a broad terminal pale lilac band not reaching the apex, 

 bordered narrowly along termen with dark brown. Hindwing with four or 

 five slender black loops at base, a posteriorly obsolescent post-discal series of 

 diffuse black marks and a subterminal series of black dots ; termen near apex 

 touched with pale lilac. Antennae, head, thorax, abdomen dark brown, the 

 antennaj ochraceous at apex, the body paler beneath. — Female similar 

 but paler. Upperside no dark discal and subterminal bands, the sex'ies of 

 discal spots elongate, much larger. Hindwing : the discal series of outwardly 

 acute black markings nearly obsolescent. Underside similar to male but 

 ground-colour more ochi-aceous, the markings larger, ,more diffuse. Exp, 

 68-79 mm.
