CEYLON BUTTERFLIES. 175 
late Mr. C. C. Gilbert. It is extremely rare. Messrs. F. M. 
Mackwood and T. G. Elliott have given me specimens, and 
my collector caught one at Deniyaya. On the upper side the 
fore wing differs from that of the male in having an orange 
spot above vein 1, and the orange patch in the cell is much 
reduced in size. On the lower wing the large median yellow 
patch is much reduced, or even sometimes entirely obsolete. 
All markings are much darker in colour. The ground colour. 
of the under side is entirely different, being brownish-red 
instead of gamboge yellow ; the spots on the fore wing agree 
with those on the upper side, except that that on vein 1 is 
more diffuse. On the lower wing the small black spots are 
usually very indistinct or absent, but when present they 
correspond in position with those of the male. I figure the 
prehensores on PI. 5, figs. 11 and 12. 
“ Very abundant in Ratnapura, and parts of Ambegamuwa. 
Caught also at Labugama and Kottawa. Females very 
scarce ’ (KF. M. Mackwood).

says (Bombay Natural History Society Journal, Vol. 
XXIII., p. 309): “ Dr. Chapman has dissected fourteen 
specimens, and finds that there are four species under the 
name ocera, viz., oceia, confined to the Philippines ; leechiz, EL., 
confined to China; farri, M., the common Indian species ; 
unicolor, M., from Sikkim and Assam, a species with no 
markings on the fore wing.” 
Elwes and Edwards figure the prehensores of oceia, leechir, 
and simillima, but none of them resemble those of our Ceylon 
race. See Pl. 6, figs. 1 to 4. Till the question is settled as to 
whether this is pencillata or farri, I think Moore’s name may 
stand. 
The few males in my collection vary in the number of spots 
on the fore wing ; in one there are spots in 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, 
the latter beg very minute ; in another there are spots in 
2 and 3 only. The cell of the fore wing and the whole hind 
wing are unspotted in all. 
I do not know the female, though possibly I have a specimen, 
and have described it further on as an unknown form of Par- 
nara (see No. 225c later). Mr. Mackwood has given me one
