24 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



possess specimens from Ceylon, Travancore, Nilgiris, Wynaad, Malabai*, Khandalla, 

 and Bombay. Messrs. Davidson and Aitken say, "It is one of the conimonest 

 butterflies in the Kanara District, frequenting forest rather than cultivated places or 

 open plains. The larva of this species, and of E. Ariadne, both feed on Traqia 

 involucrata , a creeper with stinging leaves, and both butterflies have emerged from 

 one lot of larvas in our cages which might easily liave been taken to belong to a 

 single bi'ood. In form there is no difference, and the colour we thought was too 

 variable to have any significance, ranging from pale green with or without brown 

 lines, to black with a broad dorsal sti'ipe of pure white. This year, however, we have 

 bred a larger number and carefully separated the black larvae from those in which 

 the ground colour was green, and found that the former produced Ariadne, and the 

 latter Taprohana" (Journ. Bombay, N. H. S. 1896, 247).
