182 LEPIDOPTERA lA'DICA. 



(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 427). Mr. L. de Niceville says it is " an insect of tlie plains, 

 but occurs in the lower valleys of Sikkim tLroughout the warm months " (Sikkim 

 Gaz. 1894, 171). Mr. W. Rothschild has a male dry-form taken in September, and 

 both sexes of the wet-form taken in Sikkim, in April and October, by Mr. Miiller. 

 Mr. G. C. Dungeon took it at Buxa, in Bhotan. In Burma " it is very abundant, 

 especially near the sandy beds of streams, throughout the year ; the females are as 

 plentiful as the males, and frequent the same places " (Col. 0. H. E. Adamson, List, 

 1897, 47). Commander A. Carpenter obtained it " at Sheeraagar and Kyouk-Myoung, 

 Upper Burma, in December " (Ann. N. H. 1886, 189). It is very common in the 

 Shan States, but is not found, I think, above 5000 feet " (Dr. N. Manders, Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. 1890, 535). Mr. Ossian Liraborg records it from " Moulmein to Meetan, 

 Hatseiga, and from Kaththoung to Paboga," Upper Tenasserim (P. Z. S. 1878, 840). 

 Signer L. Fea obtained it at Kokaret and Meetan in May, and at Meteleo, Karen 

 Hills, in August. Mr. H. J. Elwes records " many males and females from Tavoy, 

 Pousekai, and the Hills " (J. As. S. Beng. 1886, 435). We possess a male of the dry- 

 form, taken in Chittagong, in November, and both sexes of the wet-form from 

 Burma, showing the white spot within apex of the cell. We also possess two males 

 from Mr. F. de Pioepstorff's Collection, labelled " Car Nicobar " and " Pulo Condul," 

 which agree with Ceylon wet-form in having the wliite spot within apex of the cell, 

 and a female, also labelled " Car Nicobar," without the cell spot. 



It also is found in Siam ; we have it from the Malay Peninsula, Java, and 

 Formosa. It occurs also in W. China.

Imago. — Male. Upperside. Differs from the dry- season form of Aristolochwe, 

 on the hindwing, in having one small short white discal spot, and sometimes two

 of the interspace of the medians, and an upward elongation of the red anal spot. 

 Underside. Eindwing with three small short white spots disposed in the basal 

 interspace of the medians, and also a small white dentate-spot within apex of the 

 cell, the two outer spots and the cell spot being slightly black-scaled. The anal 

 crimson spot elongated. 



Female. Upperside. Hindwing with a small white-speckled spot only present, 

 in the basal interspace of the lower medians; the elongated anal spot paler.
