212 Dr. A. G. Butler—A Revision of the 
like below, the markings, excepting the stripe across the 
middle of the secondaries, being ill-defined. Intermediate 
forms are commoner, but not abundant.

P. hecate is the intermediate phase ; the dry phase has all 
the white spots on the under surface of the primaries suffused 
with brownish. 
53. Precis chorimene.

P. orthosia is the dry phase of the species. 
54. Precis iphita. 
Papilio iphita, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pl. ecix. C, D (1782). 
India and Ceylon, Mergui, Pegu, Burma, China, Malacca, 
and Borneo. B. M. 
The dry phase is smaller than the extreme wet phase and 
has much more falcated primaries, with more uniform and 
more violaceous under surface, the ocelli being much reduced 
in size. 
55. Precis intermedia.

Celebes. B. M. re 
I cannot admit the identity of this insect with P. dphzta ; 
the primaries are always more produced. The dry phase 
differs from the wet in the paler sandy brown under surface 
without pearly blue bands. 
56. Precis ida.

The dry phase of this species somewhat resembles P. cphita, 
but the pale bands are brighter, yellower; the dark basal 
area always with nearly straight outer edge.
