324 Mr. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
wings than these Singalelah males, resembling brahminus 
very closely. 
The male may be distinguished from padma by the 
sexual patch being hardly visible, and by the fact of the 
two white spots—one on the costa of the fore wing and 
one between it and the third spot of the band—being 
always distinctly marked, just as in the female of padma. 
The female, according to Doherty,—and this is borne 
out by five females from Chumbi,—is distinguished from 
padma by the band of the hind wing below being narrow, 
well-defined, and ochreous, whereas in padma it 18 
broader ; on the outside very ill-defined and whitish. 
From brahminus it is distinguished, as Doherty says, 
by the altogether different form of the prehensors and 
by the rounder shape of the hind wings. On the under 
side the differences are perceptible, but difficult to 
describe ; but my series, which consists of seven males 
from Sundukpho, and seven males and five females 
from Chumbi, when compared with a series of sixteen 
brahminus of both sexes from Chumbi and the North- 
west, leads me to believe that the differences, though 
slight, are reliable.

I cannot speak certainly of the occurrence of this 
species in British Sikkim, but it is common in the 
interior to the eastward at high elevations. Mr. Doherty 
says that A. scylla, Butl., which, however, he has not 
seen, is distinct from brahminus by the form of the pre- 
hensors, though he has taken the two flying together in 
Kumaon. Whether this is so or not I am only able to 
say that among my numerous specimens I can find no 
means of defining more than one species.
