<? ? . Very close to tro</lodijtns, larger, the antemedian baud aud the first discal 

 line of the forewing generally wider apart, all the grey interspaces more olivaceous, 

 duller thau in troglodijtus, and not so prominent, the wing appearing less variegated, 

 though tlie number of lines aud iuterspaces is the same iu both specie.*. Underside 

 as bright tferruginous as iu troyloili/tu.-i, abdomen very often with two rows of 

 blackish patches as in many specimens of troyloilytus. Underside of jjalpus and 

 middle of breast rather variable in tint. 



cf. Sexual armature as in tro</lo(l;/tiis, but the upper lobe of the harpe 

 acuminate, without teeth at the njjper edge or only with a few (PI. LI. f. 13. 14), 

 and the process of the penis-sheath longer and pointed (PI. LVl, f 36). 



Larva (tig. by Butler, I.e.) : greenish white, anterior segments green ; a white 

 dorsal and a dorso-lateral line edged with green ; thiu green side-bands. 



Ilalj. Niirth India to Japan, eastwards to Lombok. A common species ; 

 ujiparcntly not occurring in JSouth India and Ceylon. 



The bright ferruginous underside distinguishes it easily from tariegatum and 

 helioiilula. 



In the Triiig Museum 100-odd specimens from : North India ; Aunam ; 

 Tonkin ; China ; Japan ; Loo Choo Is. ; Lombok.
