NYMPRALINjE. {Gtoxcg cbasazina.) 239 



In some specimens the band on both wings is less heavily defined, and the band 

 on the hindwing is composed of the upper two conjoined-spots and lower more or 

 less smaller separated spots. In these specimens the underside of the wings is also 

 of a much less paler rufescent colour, and the sinuous transverse lines and other 

 markings less defined — these characters indicating that the latter specimens probably 

 belong to a seasonal brood. Female unknown. 



Expanse, c? 3 ro to 3 ^-q inches. 



Cateepillae. — Slug-shaped ; widest in the middle, tapering rapidly towards the 

 end and more gradually towards the head, the anal segment terminating in two short 

 pointed processes ; head encircled by a mottled pink and white line and surmounted 

 with four pink rugose curved processes, each being tipt with blue. General colour 

 rich green, but somewhat mottled above, yellowish beneath, with the lateral edge 

 defined by a pink speckled line ; a large white-ringed dorsal spot with pink centre 

 on middle of the back, and three small similar subdorsal spots on each side.

 Moller, are in Mr. W. Rothschild's collection. Colonel C. Swinhoe also has 

 specimens from Sikkim taken by Mr. Paul Mowis. A specimen taken in Bhotan, 

 July, 1887, by Mr. 0. Moller, is in Mr. W. Rothschild's collection. Col. Swinhoe 

 and Mr. P. Crowley have specimens from the Khasia Hills. Two males in the 

 British Museum are from Thoungyeen Valley, Upper Tenasserim, taken in

Of our illustration of this species on Plate 175, fig. 1 is from the drawing of the 

 larva and pupa and imago, made by the late Mrs. Hamilton from specimens reared at 

 Amherst, Moulmain, in November, 1852. This larva being erroneously figured in 

 Catal. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. i. pi. xii. fig. 14, as that of H. Baya. Fig. 1, a, b, is from 

 Felder's type specimen of the male.
