60 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
I have found the pupa on the stem of an Albizzia moluccana. 
The larvee are always attended by the large red ant, and the 
perfect insect may be looked for wherever these ants’ nests 
abound.

Found in India, Java, Philippines, &c. 
A quite local insect. For very many years past I have 
always been able to find the males basking on one tree (Ficus 
arnothiana) on this estate, from April to November. The 
strong north-east wind entirely defoliates this tree in December, 
and the new leaves do not appear till the end of March, and 
the butterfly appears with the leaves. 
The tree grows out of the side of a precipice, and requires 
a long-handled net to reach it. If disturbed, the males fly 
round and settle again, and never seem to go a dozen yards 
from the tree. 
I have never seen a male anywhere except within twenty 
yards of this tree, and have never seen a female there. The 
3 Z. chrysomallus is fond of the same tree, but flies away very 
soon if disturbed. I have taken four females on the tea on 
this estate, and regard them as great rarieties. The female 
can be at once distinguished from ? 7’. longinus by the absence 
of the post-discal band on the upper side of the hind wing. 
I know of no other locality.

Mackwood). 
Arun a=uUS.—This is quite the most difficult genus to name, 
and I confess that I am quite unable to hazard a decision as to 
how many species should appear in a Ceylon list. 
The literature is unfortunately very limited. Moore’s 
‘‘ Lepidoptera of Ceylon” only gives four species, viz., 
schistacea, fusca, lazularia (= lohita), and ictis. De Niceville 
mentions a great number of spécies, but says that material is 
too limited to decide which should stand. Evans gives, from 
Ceylon, shistacea, fusca, lohita, ictis, and lilacinus abnormis. 
Species given by other writers are greent, minimus, nubilus, 
and zebrinus. . 
Every species is variable, some very greatly so, and freaks 
seem to be common. There is also evidently a tendency, in
