According to Mr. Bates the male frequents the moist margins of 

 waters, and also the alleys of the forest ; the female affects flowers 

 in open semicultivated places (see Journ. Entom. December 1861).

Two specimens of C. Alcmeone of Boisduval and a specimen of 

 C. Hilaria represent Cramer's species in the Banksian Collection in 

 the British Museum. P. Alcmeone, Cramer, is the C. Evadne of 

 Doubleday's ' List.' 



The description of P. Fabia, in the Supplement to the ' Entomo- 

 logia Systematical is rendered obscure from the fact of the hind 

 wings being described as " cinereis," instead of " ochraceo -cinereis ; " 

 the description of the next species, however (C. Ilea), is an aid to 

 the determination of this one. 



Capt. Lang notes this Callidryas as occurring on the lower slopes 

 of the outer Himalayan ranges ; the latter, however, is not the Cra- 

 merian species, but the C. Alcmeone of Boisduval. Mr. Bates has 

 remarked that P. Alcmeone of Bengal was considered by Cramer to 

 be identical with P. Statira <3 ; the insect figured at pi. 141 (from 

 Surinam) is doubtless the male of this species.
