with a narrow line along each side just above the roots of the legs, 

 sometimes broader, sometimes yellow, sometimes pinkish -white. 

 It has the curious habit of resting with the anal segment not 

 attached to a twig." {Davidson MS. Extract from de Niceville's 

 MS. of the Pierin, Butt, of Ind.) 



Pupa. " Compressed, the snout much prolonged and turned 

 upwards. At first it is greenish, but afterwards becomes a greyish 

 white, beautifully marbled with brown." {Idem.} 



Race liinbata, Butler. This is a barely separable local race that 

 can generally however, be distinguished as follows ; <$ $ . Upper- 

 side : black ; apical area on fore wing darker, broader, occupying 

 about a third of the wing ; the orange patch enclosed within 

 it proportionately narrower, so that the black on its inner margin 

 has the appearance of being broader proportionately than it is 

 in the typical form. Very often this inner edge is bordered 

 by a suffusion of sulphur-yellow, while in some specimens it is 

 extended inwards in interspace 3. Hind wing : the terminal black 

 spots are united and form a continuous band. Coming from a 

 moist region, the underside is very like that of specimens of typical 

 etrida procured in similar localities. 



Exp. c? $ 40-48 mm. (1-58-1-90"). 



Hob. Ceylon. 



Many specimens of etrida from the Anaimalais and Southern 

 India resemble this race limbata very closely.

c? 2 . Coloration very variable, especially in the $ . tf . Upper- 

 side : white, base of wings generally irrorated, but to a varying 

 extent, with black scales. This irroration in many specimens is 

 entirely wanting. Fore wing: with or without a minute black spot 

 on the discocellulars ; apex broadly carmine, edged internally and 

 externally with black, this black border varies in width, but both 

 inner and outer borders meet on the costa and on the termen, on
