This is a yellow insect, with most of the markings on the 

 wings of a deeper yellow, a few only remaining black ; the 

 apical area is not smoky brownish, as in G. thyodamas. If it 

 be a seasonal form of the preceding, one form must have been 

 just disappearing as the other emerged from pupa, for in no 

 other way can one account for both of them having been 

 taken by Dr. Watt at about the same time.

 Only a single damaged specimen was obtained ; the female 

 (which we have received from Cachar) is the form to which 

 Mr. Moore gave the name of Hestina isa i we have it also in 

 both sexes from Darjiling.

Near Assam (eighteen examples). 



Under this name a number of local forms are usually 

 associated, all of which appear to be constant. The true J. 

 orithyia is a Chinese species ; it ranges into Japan and Siam, 

 but I am doubtful whether it is identical with the Indian 

 form or forms ; it certainly appears to be distinct from the 

 species obtained by Col. Swinhoe in Mhow and Poona, a good 

 series of which, owing to his liberality, we possess, and all of 

 which are decidedly paler on the under surface than the 

 Chinese insect, and have the pale markings on the apical 

 area of the primaries above quite white ; the latter form also
