Hah. Within our limits, continental and peninsular India, but 

 not Bengal ; Ceylon. Outside our limits this form is found in 

 Aden and probably throughout Arabia, in Madagascar and Tropical 

 Africa. 



Larva. " Very like that of Terias, cylindrical or slightly 

 depressed with a rough surface due to minute tubercles, from 

 each of which grows a very small bristle. The colour is a uniform 

 grass-green, with a blue dorsal line more or less distinct, and a 

 yellowish lateral line dividing the colour of the back from the 

 paler green of the underparts." (Davidson fy AitTcen.) 



Pupa. " Compressed ; wing-cases produced into a keel like that 

 of Terias. It is suspended in the same manner by the tail and a 

 moderately long band. The colour is usually some shade of dingy 

 whitish brown or dirty green." (Davidson fy Aiiken.)

 very broad similarly-coloured band on termen that occupies the 

 outer fourth of the wing ; inner margin of terminal band 

 irregular, extended slightly and squarely inwards in interspaces 

 1 a, 1 and 3 ; a prominent oval black discocellular spot extended 

 downwards from the black on the costal margin ; apex with 

 elongate bluish-grey spots in interspaces 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 super-

 of wings tinged with salmon-pink, conspicuous in the fore, more 

 obscure on the hind wing. Fore wing : a prominent black 

 discocellular spot, and a subterminal series of three more or 

 less quadrate black spots that decrease in size anteriorly in inter- 

 spaces 1, 2 and 3, the spot in interspace 1 extended into 

 interspace 1 a and lengthened posteriorly outward to the terminal

 the black along the costa and termen of fore wing and on terminal 

 half of hind wing dark silky brown ; on the fore wing edged
