298 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY, 



tribution of colours, though the colours themselves are very 

 different ; and unlike Chants, the species are restricted to the 

 Indo-Malayan Region, being particularly numerous in India 

 and Java. The commonest and most anciently known species 

 is A. pans (Linn.), which is found in India and China, and 

 measures about four inches across the wings, which are shaped 

 nearly as in Harimala^ but the fore-wings are longer, with the 

 costa more strongly arched, the tips more produced, and the 

 hind-margin more oblique ; the hind-wings are more narrowed 

 behind than in Harimala^ but strongly dentated, and furnished 

 with a long spatulate tail. The wings are black, dusted with 

 golden-green, coalescing to form traces of a sub-marginal band 

 towards the inner-margin of the fore-wings ; the hind-wings have 

 a large bluish-green patch on the costa, extending over the 

 upper half of the wing, but not reaching to the hind-margin, 

 opposite to which they exhibit several concavities; on its lower 

 and inner edge it is connected with the inner-margin by a 

 golden-green stripe, below which is a round black eye-spot in a 

 red ring, surmounted by a blue crescent. The under side is black, 

 with a broad whitish suffused sub-marginal band, intersected by 

 the black nervures on the fore-wings. On the hind-wings, there 

 is a sub-marginal row of red lunules, bordered with blue ones ; 

 the incisions are white. In the Javanese A. arjuna (Horsf.), 

 the patch on the hind-wings is of a more greenish-blue, and 

 extends in a point towards the anal angle. The larva of A. 

 arjuna is green, with slender oblique and transverse white lines, 

 and the thoracic segment but slightly raised ; the pupa is yel- 

 lowish-green. The larva feeds on a species of Citrus. 



[LXIV. A., PT.] Sarbaria, Moore. The type of this genus, 

 which forms part of the same sub-section as the last in Felder's 

 arrangement, and which most authors would not consider 

 generically distinct, is S. polyctor (Boisduval), a well-known 

 North Indian species, measuring 3^ inches across the wings.
