band that follows the indentations of the wing ; the emargination 

 below the black tornal spot edged with ochraceous; the tail 

 blackish-grey, edged and tipped with white. Underside : fore wing 

 similar with similar markings, but the green shading over the 

 white portions in the basal half of the cell more decided ; the 

 discal and terminal transverse black bands separate, not joined 

 posteriorly, the former edged posteriorly on both sides by dark 

 grey due to the black on the upperside that shows through by 

 transparency. Hind wing : basal half green, outer half white ; a 

 large black tornal spot ; a black line along the dorsum that curves 

 above the tornal spot outwards to vein 2 ; a straight subbasal 

 black band from costa across cell that terminates on vein 2, where 

 it joins the dorsal black line ; a broader black band from costa 

 across apex of cell extended into base of interspace 3 ; an irregular 

 discal series of black markings curved inwards posteriorly towards 

 the tornal spot ; a subterminal series of very small slender black 

 lunules in pairs, the ground-colour on the inner side of these 

 darkened to rich ochreous-yellow ; lastly, a series of short terminal 

 black bars in the interspaces so arranged as to follow indentations 

 of the termen ; tail dusky black edged with white. Antennae 

 black ; head and thorax anteriorly with a broad black medial band, 

 rest of thorax bluish ; abdomen white, marked beneath on each 

 side by a black stripe. 



Exp. 90-104 mm. (3-55-4-1"). 



Hab. Within our limits recorded only from Travancore. 



This form was first described from China. 



Race epaminondas, Oberthiir. 

 Differs from the typical form 

 chiefly in the greater width of 

 the black markings on the upper- 

 side, especially of the basal and 

 subbasal bands that cross the 

 fore wing, both of which also ex- 

 tend to the dorsum. On the hind 

 wing the black markings of the 

 underside on the basal and discal 

 areas are not only seen bv trans- 

 parency from below, but are 

 actually represented, though only 

 partially, by black scaling ; the 

 width of the dark grey terminal 

 portion is also greater, and it 

 has a tendency to turn to dusky 

 black anteriorly, so that the sub- 

 terminal series of black lunules 

 are obscured anteriorly and are 

 difficult to make out. Underside : 

 markings similar to those of the 

 typical form, but broader ; fore
