In determining the above varieties I have found the small 

 dark form (the true P. Leda of Linnaeus) to be almost exclusively 

 confined to India; but the variation from this form to that of 

 Banksia (including Helena of Westwood) is so gradual that it is 

 impossible to determine the exact limits of these two extremes. 

 African specimens are usually of a reddish colour on the upper- 

 side ; they differ from the generality of the Australian specimens 

 in being somewhat smaller : the latter usually have the most 

 strongly falcated fore wings.
