Habitat. — South Andamans. 



DiSTRTBDTiON. — Confined to the Andaman Isles. Numerous specimens were 

 taken at Port Blair by the late Mr. F. de RoepstorfP. We possess a series of both 

 sexes of the wet-season form, and two males (types of Clinia) which we have assigned 

 as being the dry-season form — the originally cited locality of which is erroneous, — 

 and a female of the latter form from the Andamans. 



Of our illustrations of this species on Plate 282, figs. 1, la, b, c, are male and 

 female of the dry-season form — the male being the type specimen of Clinia ; and 

 figs. 1, d, e, f, g, the male and female type specimens of Mananda, the ivet-season 

 form.
