Hasirat.—South India. 
Distrisution.—The type specimens of the female of the wet-season form, 
described erroneously as male and female, were taken in North Kanara by Mr. Wise, 
and the type of the dry-season form was also taken in N. Kanara by the late Mr. 
S. N. Ward. In the Nilgiris, Mr. G. F. Hampson obtained it at from 3000 to 4000 
feet elevation, being common on the lower slopes, flying round trees at dusk, the 
wet-season brood appearing in June and the dry-season brood in December. In 
Mr. Hampson’s MS. Notes the wet-season brood is recorded as having been taken 
in “July, August and October, and the dry-season brood also in April, July and 
November.” We also possess specimens of the dry-season brood from Capt. E. Y. 
Watson, which were taken numerously at Kathlekan, Kadur District, Mysore, in 
November, December and January. The late Capt. Bayne Reed took it in the 
Wynaad, and we have it from Mynall, Travancore, 2500 to 3000 feet, taken in 
March. 
Of our illustrations of this species, Plate 127, figs. 1, la, b, ec, d, represent the 
male and females of the wet-season brood ; 1 and la the male; 1b and c the female, 
and 1d the type female described as Ampa by Col. Swinhoe. The dry-season brood 
is represented on Plate 128, figs. 1 and la, the upper and underside of typical male 
(Varaha), figs. 1b and c, also males, and figs. d, e, f, the female of the dry-season 
brood.
