Female. Wings above asby-green. Anterior wings witli tlie basal area from costa to a little 

 beneath cell, and terminating a little bej'ond cell, very dark asby-green ; tins area is outwardly bounded 

 by a straight, oblique and connected series of four white spots outwardly angulated and pointed ; these 

 are followed by two white spots directed inwardly and separated by the second median norvule ; the outer 

 pale green area is brightest from about the centre of third median nervule to middle of abdominal margin, 

 which pale coloration is followed posteriorly by some very dark green marks, a similarly coloured spot 

 being found on each side of the upper discoidal nervule ; outer margin dull, dark greenish ; cell rossed 

 by three dark lines bordered with very pale and bright ashy-green, the first near base curved outwai-dly, 

 the second near centre straight, and the third near apex someM-hat resembling the letter S ; beyond cell 

 are two black lines, the outer one much waved and sinuated ; and beneath cell, between the bases of the 

 thu-d median nervule and submedian nervure, are some dark spots and hnes bordered with very pale 

 and bright ashy-green. Posterior wings with the outer half very much paler and with pinky suffusions, 

 which extend and are particularly noticeable from costa to lower subcostal nervule ; this paler outer area 

 has its inner margin darker and concavely scalloped, and contains near its centre a series of small, 

 obscure, dark spots, which are margined with pale ashy irrorations, particularly the innermost spots ; the 

 extreme base of the wrings is darkest, and the cell contains two spots with pale and dark margins, the first 

 subquadrate near centre and the second sublunate near apex ; a similar spot above and near base of lower 

 subcostal nervule, another near base of abdominal margin, and a dark spot between the bases of lower 

 subcostal and discoidal nervules. Wings beneath very mucli paler and marked generally as above, the outer 

 apical margins of anterior wings distinctl}' fuscous. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 2 78 millim. 



Hab. — Continental India; "North India" (Moore). — Tenasserim (Brit. jMus.) — Malay Peninsula: 

 Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (coll. Gosse). 



This species appears to be scarce iu the Malay Peninsula, but one specimen (female) 

 being contained in my collection. The male is smaller, somewhat darker, and wanting the 

 white spots to the anterior wings.

* Wheu Mr. Moore applied this name to ludiau representatives of the species, he doubtless used the word in its 

 Hindu sense, as found in the Sattvika Puranas. Compared with this, " Garuda," as pointed out by the late Mr. J. R. Logan, 

 is used by the Malays iu a partial signification only : — " Ganidu, or Giirda, is a monstrous bird, which Malay roniancists 

 usually evoke for the pm-jiose of desolating a country." This is illustrated in the Malay poem ' Shair Bidasari ' : — 

 " Datiiugliih kapadii. sui'itii masu ' " There came upon a certain time 



aieliVmgbih angas deri angkasa A bird flying from tlie lieavens, 



Angas Ganida biu-ong pevkasii The bird Ganida, a mighty bird, 



ilenjadi negn rosa benasii." Destroj-iug and desolating the land.''
