median to the subcostal nervure [enclosing the disco-cellular nervules. Hindwing]. The 
outer black spot is entirely encircled with yellow, and above the anal spot is a well-defined 
lunar-shaped streak of metallic green. F&MALE, somewhat larger, with rounder wings.

(Zoore, 1. c. in Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. C.) ; 
Larva when full-fed and extended in walking, ‘9 ofan inch in length; ground-colour 
dull ochreous, blotched with leaden-black, the surface of all the segments smooth and shining, 
the constrictions between the segments well-marked, each segment with a shallow dorsa] 
pit, a subdorsal pit on each side, and a lateral pit which bears the deep-black spiracles ; the 
entire lateral edge of the larva furnished with rather long bristly hairs; the larva is of 
the usual lyczenid shape, the head small and entirely retractile into the second segment, 
dull ochreous marked with leaden-black as are the segments ; the body increasing in width 
to the fourth segment, then gradually decreasing to the anal segment; the larva is rather 
depressed, broader than high, the three anal segments are scutate, the shield being used to 
block up the entrance to the fruit on which the larva feeds ; the second and third segments 
are brighter ochreous than the rest, the blackish markings more sparse, wholly absent on 
the anterior portion of the second segment. I can find no trace whatever of the special 
organs found in many Zycenide larve which are affected by ants. Feeds on the fruit of 
the pomegranate. PuPa ‘55 of an inch in length, light reddish-brown speckled with black 
in no decided pattern; the surface rather rough above and covered sparsely with short stout 
white bristles, below quite smooth, of a lighter colour, and without the black speckles and 
bristles ; shape everywhere rounded except anteriorly, where the head is anteriorly bounded 
by a sharp ridge, the thorax very slightly humped, the anal segment depressed, pointed. 
Described from specimens sent tome by Mr. P. W. Mackinnon and obtained by him at 4,000 
feet elevation below Masuri. 
D. epijarbas (epiarbas would be a more. correct rendering of this name) is a very wide- 
spread and common species occurring almost everywhere in India (except the desert tracts of 
the North-West), throughout the outer ranges of the Himalayas and in Kashmir (but not on 
the inner higher ranges), in Ceylon, the Andamans, on Teressa and Great Nicobar, in Perak, 
Nias Island, and several islands in the Malay Archipelago. It has an extremely rapid flight, 
but often settles, and is then easily caught. In Sikkim it occurs in March, May, June, and 
October, probably throughout the warmer months. I give as a foot-note* a later description 
of this species by Mr. Moore.
