only publishing a very satisfactory illustration of it, to which I will add that 

 everywhere along the edge of the abdomen stiff black hairs protrude. In the 

 fairly good illustration the pupa lies on a leaf bound together with firm bundles 

 of threads, attached at the tail end by a girdle-thread ; it is very dark brown.

This species is unknown to me. Fruhstorfer possesses it from Java. The 

 illustration is made from his specimens. Larva and pupa are given by Moore 

 in an illustration in Lep. of Ceylon, and reproduced by Sw ixhoe.

SwixHOE says that Feeder's types do not differ from A. Cextaurus, but 

 that his illustration is inaccurate, and that the butterflies described by Distant 

 and Bethuxe — Baker belong to another species. Sxellex maintains that 

 although Vihara resembles a small Centaurus, the secondaries of the former 

 species are lobed at the inner angle, and the apex of the primaries is blunter, 

 and that this constitutes a definite difference, while moreover the patches on 

 the underside of the primaries in the discal cell, which are not darker than the 

 ground colour, have not a greenish silver rim. These differences actually occur 

 with such constancy in the many Javan species that I have before me, that I 

 am also constrained to regard them as specific. I, therefore, consider that the
