looked for wherever any trees allied to the orange grow, 
Figure 168 shows the upper and undersides of amale wet-season form ; Fig. 169 shows 
both sides of a male dry-season form, both from Bholahat, Malda, in my collection.

DesCRIPTION : “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, Jofh wings violet-brown. Hindzwing with indistinct 
marginal pale-bordered black spots [these spots are sometimes large and prominent, and more 
or less crowned inwardly with orange, occasionally the black spots are slightly defined inwardly 
as well as outwardly by a narrow white line, and with a discal series of fine white lunules.] 
Cilia cinereous-white. UNDERSIDE, doth wings cinereous-brown. Forewing with a white- 
bordered brown disco-cellular spot, a transverse discal and a submarginal row of similar spots. 
Hindwing with a white-bordered black costal spot, four transverse subbasal spots, and one near 
the base of the abdominal margin ; a white-bordered brown disco-cellular spot, and a transverse 
discal row of similar spots, a marginal row of [three, four, five, or] six prominent black conical 
spots speckled with metallic-green, the outer one at each end less distinct, each bordered by 
ochreous-yellow and above by a double white lunular line. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings 
similar. Hindwing with the marginal spots slightly [often prominently] bordered with ochreous 
{or orange]. UNDERSIDE, doth wings with the markings more distinct than in the male.” 
(Moore, |. c, in Lep. Cey.) 
Larva when full-grown a little over a quarter of an inch in length, onisciform as usual ; 
the head very small, black and shining, entirely hidden when at rest, being covered by the 
second segment ; the colour of the body grass-green, with a dark green dorsal line from the 
third to the twelfth segment; two subdorsal series of short parallel streaks, each pair being 
divided from the next by the segmental constriction, these streaks paler than the ground-colour 5 
an almost pure white lateral line below the spiracles, which is the most conspicuous of all the 
markings ; the segmental constrictions rather deep; the whole surface of the body shagreened, 
being covered with very small whitish tubercles from which spring very fine short colourless 
hairs. The usual extensile organs on the twelfth segment. Dr. George King, Superintendent 
of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sibpur, near Calcutta, has identified its food-plant as 
Heliotropium strigosum, Willd. Professor A. Forel identifies the ant which attends it as 
Pheidole quadrispinosa, Jerdon. Pupa about 34; of an inch in length, pale green, of the usual 
Lyczenid shape, densely covered everywhere except on the wing-cases with somewhat long white 
hairs. The transformations of this species are here described for the first time. 
Semper has done much in clearing up the synonymy of this species by adding to it the 
L. gnoma of Snellen, Trimen has added the Z. parva of Murray, and I join to it for the first 
time the Z. puddi of Kollar, Butler and Swinhoe record the true C. wochilus from India, the
