222 LYC/ENID&. SURENDRA. 
male, two tails are shown, the anal angle of the hindwing is rounded, and there is no anal 
lobe. In Colonel Swinhoe’s collection are two males from Madras of that which I suppose 
to be this species, and which have been so named by Mr. Moore. They both possess violet 
patches on the upperside of the hindwing. This, however, is a character of no importance; 
being almost everywhere eminently variable. The underside is certainly greyer, and the mark- 
ings a little less distinct than in typical specimens from Sikkim, characters which are probably 
due to a dry habitat.

Hasirat : Ceylon. 
EXPANSE: 6, 2, 1°3 inches. 
DescrIPTION : “ Differs from S. vivarna, Horsfield, in having a broader [black] border in 
the male. The wings are of the same shapeas in S. /atimargo, Moore. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, 
both wings ochreous-brown slightly violet-tinted, with a prominent pale ochreous discal area. 
UNDERSIDE, both wings greyish basally, ochreous-brown externally, with dark sinuous markings.” 
(Moore, 1. c. in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond.) 
I possess a considerable series of this species from Ceylon. It is simply a small form of 
S. guercetorum ; it has absolutely, as far as I can see, no other character except its small size by 
which it can be distinguished from that species. The ochreous patch on the upperside of the 
forewing in the female is very variable, in some specimens not differing at all from the pale 
patch seen in S. gwercetorum. In Ceylon it occurs at “ Matale. Garden hedges. August ” 
(Hutchison). ‘ Kandy and Galle. Common” (Wade). ‘‘ Kandy and North Matale. Difficult 
to capture, from its habit of keeping within the protection of the thorny Acactas”’ (Mackwood).

HaBITaT: Andamans. 
EXPANSE: ¢, 1'2to 1°43 2, 1°40 to.1°55 inches, 
Description: ‘‘ Near to S. vivarna (Amblypodia vivarna, Horsfield, Catal. Lep. E. I. C., 
1829, p. 99), from Java. Differs in being smaller, with slightly shorter wings, the hindwing 
less convex at the anterior angle and outer margin. MALE. UPPERSIDE, both wings have 
a much broader brown outer border, and the Azzdwing has scarcely any blue on the disc. 
UNDERSIDE, doth wings purplish fawn-colour, the outer transverse sinuous line darker, and 
the inner zigzag line with less white border. FErMALE differs also in being of a dark vinous- 
brown above, with a slightly paler discal area on the forewing, and of a dark fawn-colour 
beneath.” (Moore, 1. c.) 
“Is A. guercetorum itself more than a local race or variety of 4. [=5S.] vivarna, 
Horsfield, from Java?” (Wood-Mason and de Nicéville, \. c.) 
Not uncommon in the Andamans. It averages a little larger, perhaps, than the three 
species which precedeit. I think it would be absolutely impossible for any one to separate 
the specimens of the four above-described Indian species of Surendra into their respective species 
if the specimens I possess of them had their labels removed and were mixed up. Even size 
is not sufficient to distinguish .S. guercetorum, Moore, as 1 possess some specimens of that 
species from Sikkim, which are quite as small as any Surendra from South India, Ceylon, or 
the Andamans,
