liustiito, with an angiilakMl scries of suvi'ii to eight subiiiargiiial irregular black-brown spots : hind wings 

 orangi', generally paler tlian in male, and becoming sulphur j'ellow towards the base; five irregular 

 ilianiond-ohaped black-brown spots terminating the nervures upon outer margin ; and four indistinct 

 aiigulated scale spots between the nervures upon disc, ^^'ings below bright golden yellow ; frontwings 

 with outer margin and apical costa broadly rosy, uniting near the apex with an irregular semi-connected 

 iliscal series of Kvo to six rosy-brown spots; a large irregular rosy centred brown ring-spot at end of 

 cell, and a small brown spot above it at origin of second subcostal branch ; hindwings with two ocelloid 

 sih'cr-ccnti'eil sjiots jjlaced obliquely just beyond end of cell, and surrounded by an irregular circular 

 si-rics of rosy brown s]iots, connected by rosy streaks from base to beyond middle of costa, continuing 

 liiruugh the centre of disc to the submedian nervure and terminating in a ring-spot at the origin of the 

 lirst iiieiliaii branch; outer margin rosy; the nervures black-tipped.

C Scijlln is a much niori> varialilc species than C. Gorr/ophone, the males even ditl'ering con- 

 siderably both on the iippi-r and under surfac(^s ; a striking variety of this sex (which I regret to say 

 cannot rank as a distinct species) has been figured as C Etrxin by Mr. Hewitson, who gives the 

 following as the characters by which it may be distinguished from C. Sctjlla, namely, that it is " of paler 

 colour and spotless on the undersiile." In the British Museum wo have a male agreeing exactly with 

 Mr. Ilewitson's ligure, from Port Essington; a second from X. Australia, which has both of the 

 characters mentioned above, Lut dilfers from C. Elesia in having the black border of the ujiper surface 

 dentate-sinuate as in C. Sci/lla ; and a third from Champion Bay, which has the black border of 

 ' '. Elcatd but the under surface of C. IScyllu, tlie markings being all strongly delined. Even the brighter 

 golden orange upon the upper surface of the hindwings will not serve to distinguish this form, since the 

 specimens from Cidebes are generally darker in tint than those from Java ; and a female in Mr. 

 Wallace's collection from Lomboek has the hindwings of tlie same tint with that of C. Etesin. 



Eabricius describes his C. tjornrlla as " alls rotundatis intcgerrimis fulvis : anticis sujira albis, 

 margine nigi-o. Habitat Tranquebaria;,'" thus discriiuiiiatiiig between it and his C. Sct/tht, the description 

 of which 1 have given under C. Goir/ojilioiic 



The larva of G. Scijlla, according to Dr. llorslield, feeds on various sjiecies of Cassia, particularly 

 ''. Fistula and C. Ohtmifolia,\)\x\, is occasionally found on other plants. It is most abundant in the 

 .?arly part of the rainy season. 



The larva and ])upa are figured on ])1. 1 of llic lirst vohinn' of llorslield and Moore's Catalogue of 

 the Lepidoptera of the East India Company.
