yellow line ; head and horns black. Pupa compressed, with a high, pointed, dorsal 

 prominence at the junction of thorax and abdomen, from which a sharp ridge runs 

 to the tail ; suspended by the tail, but curving round to an almost horizontal 

 position ; pale green." 



Distribution. — In Ceylon this butterfly is " common on forest ground in the hills 

 about 5000 feet near Newera Eliya. Frequently seen basking in the road " 

 (Hutchison, Lep. Ceyl. i. p. 27). The late Mr. S. N. Ward reared this insect in 

 Canara, from whose collection we possess specimens of both sexes, as well as his 

 drawing of the larva. Mr. Gr, F. Hampson obtained it on the " Nilgiris, from 3000 

 to 6000 feet, where the male is not common, the female very rare" (J. A. S. Bengal, 

 1888, 352). " The Indian Museum, Calcutta, possesses specimens from Ootacamund 

 taken by Mr. Hampson, and from Pimerd, North Travancore, taken by Mr. W. 

 Doherty at 2000 feet" (Butt. Ind. ii. 55). Mr, H. S. Ferguson (J. Bomb. N. H. Soc. 

 1891, 8) also records it from Pimerd at 2400 feet. 



Of this species our illustration on plate 194, fig. 3, represents the larva and pupa 

 reproduced from the late Mr. S. N. Ward's drawing from larvae reared in Canara, 

 S. India.
