 We bred this insect on Terminalia paniculata from the larva long 

 before we ever saw one on the wing ; it has been caught twice latterly 

 in Karwar at the end of the monsoon, but these were the only two 

 occasions it has ever been seen below the ghats near the sea coast. In 

 the cold season we have bred many above the ghats as well as in the 

 valley of the Kalinaddi river, thirty miles from the coast. We have only 

 once seen the butterfly in the cold weather in what might be called its 

 wild state, and then it had only just emerged from the pupa. It is 

 probably a dusk, if not a night, flier. It inhabits the densest jungles, 

 aenerally near water. The larva feeds also on Terminalia belerica 

 and Combretum ovalifolium. 



DIVISION II.

 This group contains two insects, the imagos of which at rest fold 

 their wings over their back ; the butterflies are both dusk-fliers, only 

 appearing in the morning and evening ; they have a rapid flight, and 

 are fond of flowers. The larvaa are somewhat dissimilar, one having 

 a rounder head than the other ; the one being broadest at the twelfth 

 segment, the other more or less cylindrical and narrowest at the neck 

 (segment 2) ; the one rough of surface, the other smooth. The 

 pupge are similar in that they are both longish, not particularly stout, 

 and have the thorax humped ; they have a moderate constriction 

 dorsally, the shoulders being the broadest part of the body, the apex 

 of the thorax the highest ; the transverse section of thorax is circular,
