Fab., Abisara echerius, Stoll (prunosa, Moore), Papilio polymnestor, 
Cramer (parinda, Moore). This grand species and darsius, Gray, 
a truly magnificent insect, are fairly common, but a long-handled 
net is necessary for darsius. Papilio polytes, L. (romulus, Cramer),

the world to take it in a large glass-topped box, but it disappeared 
as if by magic. Humenes flavopicta, Blanch., and Chrysocoris 
dilaticollis, with the Orthopteron Aularches scabiose, Fab., were 
netted.

to that great place for butterflies, Haragama.

talagala, and very disappointing it was. There appeared to be a 
total absence of insect life. The only butterflies seen, and they
