APPIAS. 213 



Dry-season brood. c? $ . Upper and under sides : similar to the 

 same in the wet-season specimens, but in the c? the dusting of 

 black scales on the upperside has almost, in some specimens 

 completely, disappeared, while on the underside the ochraceous 

 colouring is much paler. $ . Both dimorphs differ but little from 

 the dimorphs of the \vet-season form, only on the upperside the 

 black on the apical half of the fore and on the terminal margin of 

 the hind wing is more restricted, while on the underside the oblique 

 curved black band that crosses the fore wing is distinctly narrower 

 with a tendency to become diffuse. 



Exp. d $ 60-74 mm. (2-3S-2-94"). 



Hob. Sikhim up to 4000 feet ; Bengal ; Western and Southern 

 India: Gruzerat; Poona; Kanara; Travancore ; Ceylon; the hills of 

 Assam, Burma and Tenasserim. Found also in Malacca, Sumatra, 

 Borneo, Java and the Philippines. 



Larva. " Light green with a yellow-white spiracular band from 

 segments 2 & '6 to segment 12, where the band expands somewhat. 

 Head round, shining, yellow .... covered with small conical 

 setiferous black tubercles ; body rugose, with six transverse rows 

 from above the spiracular region over the dorsum, of small, shining, 

 setiferous, conical black tubercles to each segment ; segments 2, 

 12 and 13 have only a few transverse ro\vs of such tubercles." 



Pupa. " Dirty whitish, with a pink shade on segments 4 to 14. 

 The head-process from between the eyes is long, flattened at the 

 sides, slightly curved, pointed at the extremity .... edges on 

 ventral surface minutely serrated. The front margin of segment 2 

 is produced into a small subdorsal tooth, and the dorsal line is 

 rather strongly carinated ; thorax highly carinated on the dorsal 

 line . . . . ; lateral teeth of segments 6, 7 and 8 are all of the same 

 size and are pointed . . . . ; the head-production, the points on 

 segment 2, the teeth on segments 6 and 7 (sometimes) and the 

 extremity of the cremaster black." (After de Niceville.)

Wet-season brood. tf . Upperside: white. Fore wing: base and 

 costa broadly and somewhat thickly irrorated with black scales ; 

 apex broadly black ; termen with a series of inwardly pointed black 

 triangular spots at the apices of the veins, these spots confluent 

 along the extreme margin ; between veins 3 and 6 a short post- 

 discal black line that ends posteriorly in a large black spot in 

 interspace 3, this line confluent along the veins with the black on 

 termen, the two thus enclosing between them a vertical series of 

 three prominent white spots. Hind wing : a terminal series of 

 black spots at the apices of the veins, these spots elongate and 

 prominent anteriorly, obsolescent and diffuse posteriorly. Under-
