206 LEPIDOPTEEA IXDICA. 



F. M. Mackwood states that it is "found all over tlie island, 2:)redominating in the 

 low country. March and April the principal time for emergence from chrysalis. 

 Very difficult to capture perfect." Capt. F. J. Hutchison says, " Western Central 

 and Southern provinces of the island, both Plains and Hills, in forest and open 

 ground. Taken at Colombo from April to end of December ; elsewhere at various 

 times. It has a slow majestic flight ; flaps the wings a great deal. Is quite fearless 

 and easily caught hovering over flowers." Capt. H. AVade obtained it at " Kandy 

 and Galle." Sir J. E. Tennent (Xat. Hist. Ceyl. 42-5) says the butterfly "darts 

 rapidly through the air, alighting on the ruddy foliage of the Hibiscus, or the dark 

 green foliage of the Citrus, on which it deposits its eggs. The larva has a hump on 

 the fourth or fifth segment, and from this hump, on being irritated, it j^rotrudes a 

 horn of an orange colour, bifurcate at the extremity, and covered with a pungent 

 mucilaginous secretion, and strikes it upon the offending object with unerring aim " 

 (Lcp. Ceylon i. 149).
