hastate orange spots beyond in interspaces 2 to 6. Hind wing : 

 similar to the hind wing in the c? , but with a postdiscal series of 

 large triangular black spots and a terminal connected series 

 of still larger triangular black spots at the apices of veins 2 to 7. 

 Underside : similar to that in the tf , the brown transverse strigae 

 and spots more numerous, the costa of the fore and the median 

 line on the hind wing very prominently brown. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen as in the <S 



Dry-season brood. d 1 2 Differ only from the c? $ of the 

 wet-season brood in the slightly more falcate apex to fore wing, 

 and in the purer white ground-colour on the upperside ; also the 

 terminal margin of the hind wing in the d 1 has the black markings 

 all but obsolete, while in the $ the postdiscal and terminal black 

 markings on the same are smaller than in the wet-season form. 

 Underside : the mottlings of brown strigaa and minute spots more 

 numerous and dense. 



Exp. d 1 $ 94-100 mm. (3'71-4"). 



Hab. N.E. India; Nepal; Sikhim ; Bhutan ; Assam ; Burma and 

 Tenasserim to the Malay Peninsula, and eastwards through the 

 Shan States of Upper Burma to Siam and China. 



Race australis, Butler. tf $ . Differs only from the typical 

 form in the following particulars : Inner black border to the 

 orange patch on the upperside of the fore wing absent, this repre- 

 sented by a few obsolete touches of black scaling. Hind wiug : 

 white throughout, with only a half-obliterated subcostal black spot 

 in interspace 7 in the d ; in the $ the postdiscal and terminal 

 series of spots smaller. 



Exp. $ 5 as in typical form. 



Hab. Southern India from the Ghauts at Khandalla south- 

 eastwards to Ceylon. 



The d 1 of this race as noted by de Niceville (J. A. S. B. Ixiv, 

 1895, p. 505) can scarcely be separated from the d 1 of H. java- 

 tiensis, Wallace, but the $ has the orange patch on the upperside 

 of the fore wing as large as in typical H. glaucippe, whereas the $ 

 of the Javan form has the same much restricted. 



Larva. " Subcylindrical, tapering towards each end, numerously 

 covered with minute tubercles ; green." (Moore.)
