I cannot separate the form indica from other examples 

 of the species. Rober states that it is smaller than the 

 Australian examples, but in a long series the size varies 

 greatly and this character is of little value. Kirby's oenone 

 is merely an intermediate between typical andromache and 

 and.roriiache sanderi. The figure in Allen's Naturalist's 

 Library (I.e.) shows the ground-colour of the h.-w. too 

 yellow. The male armature of A. andromache is barely 

 distinguishable from that of A. igati.
