ACHILLIDES. 297 



the beautiful group of Equitidcz in which the wings are pow- 

 dered with metallic green. Harimala is represented both 

 in the Indo-Malayan and Austro-Malayan Regions, but the 

 type, H. crino (Fabricius), is found in India, Ceylon, and 

 Cochin China. It is a comparatively small species, not 

 measuring more than about 3^ inches across the wings, 

 which are slightly falcate, the hind-margin being concave as well 

 as oblique ; the hind-wings are dentated and tailed. The wings 

 are black, dusted with golden-green, and are crossed by a blue 

 band, running from the costa of the fore-wings beyond the cell, 

 where it is narrowest, and curving round to the inner-margin 

 on the hind-wings; below it there is a black spot in a red 

 ring, and a row of green lunules between it and the spatulate 

 tail. On the under side the wings are brown, with sub-mar- 

 ginal rows of red, bluish, and grey lunules. The larva is slug- 

 shaped, with the anterior segments convexly scutellated, and a 

 pair of short fleshy tubercles on the anterior and anal seg- 

 ments. The pupa is curved, and the head is broad in front. 

 The larva feeds on the satin-wood tree.
