U c?$- 



c? . Upperside black. Fore wing with three or four broad white 

 streaks in cell and a variable number of similar somewhat broader 

 streaks that are bifid along their apical half in the interspaces 

 beyond ; these streaks do not reach the terminal margin and 

 become obsolete towards the costal margin of the wing. Hind 

 wing : the apical half of the cell and short apicaliy truncate 

 streaks in the interspaces beyond w T hite ; these streaks broad, 

 divided only by the black veins, followed by a subterminal curved 

 series of crimson lunules irrorated with black scales. Undersid.e 

 similar, the markings more distinct and more sharply denned, the- 

 discal white streaks and the subterminal series of crimson spots 

 each seven in number. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 above up to the preanal segment black ; the head in front and 

 beneath, the thorax at the sides and the apical half of the 

 abdomen crimson, the last with one or two black lateral spots. 

 $ similar ; fore wing broader, the white and crimson markings 

 larger and more conspicuous. 



Exp. c? $ 118-128 mm. (4-64-5-2"). 



Hab. Ceylon. " Confined locally to the middle hill district '* 

 (Manders). 



Larva. " Dark purple-black, with crimson-coloured pointed 

 tubercles, two on 2nd segment, eight on each of 3rd and 6th, six 

 on each of 8th to 10th, and four on 13th ; seventh segment with 

 a pale cream-coloured transverse band (interrupted on the dorsal 

 line), including four tubercles of the same colour, below which on 

 each side is a single crimson tubercle ; on second segment is a 

 band composed of four pale tubercular spots, from the centre of 

 which can be protruded a pair of short blunt yellow tentacles. " 

 (E. E. Green as quoted by Moore.} 



Race pandiyanus, Moore. " Though closely allied to 

 Gray, this species is constantly (as far as we know) different in 

 pattern. The white colour of the fore wings is much more ex- 

 tended, especially in the apical region, but also more shaded with 

 black scales; the internervular black streaks between the median 

 nervules (veins 4-6) are much longer, the white linear markings- 

 in the cell reach the discocellular veinlets. On the hind wing
