COMMON BUTTERFLIES OF THE PLAINS OF INDIA. 879 



forewins niul tail to hindwin<r whioli l)leiuls so well with withered 

 leaves. It is difficult to imagine any other reason for the complete 

 cbanire that comes over the form and markiiios of the insect than one 

 having its origin in a desire for protection. The hutterfly is found 

 throughout Indian limits ; also in China and Japan and in the Malayan 

 subregion. 



The pupae of all the Junonio}, vv^hen touched, move the body from 

 side to side with a slightly jerky motion, the bending taking place 

 in segment-margins i^jdj I'/IO, 10/11, and each jerk produces a knock- 

 ing sound destined, there is little doubt, to frighten small enemies, 

 such as flies, spiders, perhaps even lizards and small birds. It is 

 distinctly audible at close quarters. 



The genus Jitnovm exists in the tropics of America, in Africa, India 



and Australia and even further eastwards. 



The Plates A. B and C have been published in Vol. XVI of the Journal. 

 No. 4 ; and Vol. XVII, Nos. 2 and 4. On second thoughts, it has been 

 thought advisable to re-write the descriptions of the butterflies formerly pub- 

 lished, notwithstanding what was said in paragraph 5 of the present papers 

 begun in tbo number issued on the 15th April 19i)9.
