Together with Apidanus in W. J. the most common species of this genus. 

 The colour of the upperside, both in W. J. and E. J. is subject to variations 

 in shade. 



A special form Pseudocentaurus cannot, therefore, be assumed upon 

 this basis. 



The larva feeds upon the leaf of bonngour (Lagerstroemia spec.) and 

 probably also of manoa (Mangifera), as a pupa was found upon a manga 

 leaf. As it displays a mixture of green, brown and black, which moreover 

 undergoes some change during different periods of its life, a description of it 

 would necessarily be very confused, and I shall therefore content myself with
