Bingham, Fmina of Brit. India I, /. 499 (1905). . . . Zemeros Flegyas. 

 Fruhstorfer (Seitz, Groszschn. der Erde), 5*. 772 (19 14) . „ „ 



W. J. Soukamantri (525); Salak mountains (780); mount Megamendoung 

 (1500); Prayangan mountains (± 500); Nousa Kambangan (Jacobson). 



C. J. Province of Tegal ; province of Madioun. 



E. J. Willis mountains; near the lake of Klakah (230) in the province of 

 Probolingo; mount Semarou (700); Tengger mountains (1200) (Jacobson). 



This species is common in the mountains, and is also found by the Klakah 

 lake, and on Nousa Kambangan on the south coast. Fruhstorfer says that 

 they are found from the shore upwards ; this can only be the case in the more 

 mountanous southerly regions of Java. In the northern regions I never found 

 them lower down than 500 meters. 



The form given in an illustration by Bingham as that of the male from 

 the dry season in India, corresponds to the female of Java, of which I possess 

 specimens captured in the middle of the rainy season, like the one here repro- 

 duced. As regards this butterfly, I cannot distinguish separate forms for the 

 dry and the rainy season no more than in any others. The males, which are 

 darker, are usually smaller, sometimes however almost as large as the female. 

 Some males from the Tengger mountains in East Java, seem to me to be 

 darker on the upperside than the males from West Java. They are however 

 no smaller than these. 



All the different colour forms, depicted in Seitz's work as sub-species, 

 are nothing but different stages of colour evolution, occurring in one place in 

 a more, and in another in a less advanced state. 



Bingham gives a complete description of the larvae and pupae ; the former 

 he found on Maesa Montana. I found them on ki piit (Maesa Indica Wall). 

 It is a flat larva, resembling that of the Cocliopodae, of which, as Bingham 

 says also, each segment is laterally rounded, handsome soft green with a 

 dark dorsal line; on the sides short white hairs. It pupated flat upon the 

 leaf, attached by an extremely fine girdle- thread as well as by the tail end, 

 into a flat pupa, the broader head end of which was somewhat divided in 

 two, and the segments ot the abdomen were laterally sounded in the same 

 way as those of the larva. It displayed a handsome marbling of green lines 

 upon a lighter green ground. 



The pupa formed on May 7* produced a butterfly on May 23.
