152 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
I have found dissimilis rather more plentiful than lankes- 
wara, but neither form is common. The best localities I have 
noticed are the road from Wellawaya to Muppane and 
Dambulla. I have also taken it at Haputale (5,000 feet), 
Haldummulla, and Galle, but have not yet seen it in the 
Northern Province. 
185. Papiiio crino, B. & De N. ; Harimala montanus, M. ; 
Achillides crino fruhstorferi, K.—P. crino is found in India. 
Evans gives fruhstorfert as the Ceylon race. Bingham says : 
“var. montanus, Felder, was founded on specimens devoid of 
the cottony scent streaks on the upper side of the fore wing.” 
These streaks are present in the male in a fair proportion of 
Ceylon specimens, but those without them are usually the 
commoner. 
It is especially abundant in the low-country of Uva and the 
North-Central Province, but is common everywhere in the 
low-country, except in the extreme north. I have seen it 
once inthe Mannar District. Individuals which are apparently 
‘“ flighting ” appear all the year round in the hills. I once 
saw a very big flight at Galle in March, the direction was south- 
west, viz., straight out to sea. It continued for three or four 
days, and enormous numbers must have perished in the sea. 
The male is often to be found settled in numbers in the 
sandy river beds, and is very easy to catch. The females 
are not easy to procure in good condition. They can be 
distinguished by the narrower green band on the fore wing, 
and there is also usually a diffuse orange spot near the apex 
of the hind wing above. 
“ Abundant in Kandy and Kurunegala jungles” (F. M. 
Mackwood). 
186. PaTrHysa ANTIPHATES, M. ; Papilio alcibiades, De N.; 
Papilio antiphates alcibiades var. ceylonicus, B.; Pathysa 
antiphates ceylonicus, E.—P. antiphates is found in India, 
Burma, Siam, Malaya, China, &c. The range of the various 
races is still unsettled. 
Rothschild describes ceylonicus as having “‘ Two basal black 
bands on the upper side of the fore wing extending beyond 
the median nervure ; the fourth band broad and reaching to 
the median nervure (not triangular).”’ This I consider merely
