portions. Hindwing with much less apparent transverse subbasal and discal 

 markings ; the outer marginal dark grey band is not so broad as in Epaminondas, 

 and the marginal black lunules are narrower. Underside. Forewing with black 

 transverse markings as on npperside, the two outer bands being divided throughout 

 their length. Hindtcing with prominent black markings disposed as in Epami- 

 nondas; the subbasal and discal band being narrower, the bordering outer spots of 

 the latter longitudinally larger, the upper one being inwardly angled, the sub- 

 marginal and marginal lunules narrower. 



Expanse, c? 3 to 3^ inches. 



Habitat. — Travancore, S. India. Described from two males, in our collection,

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside creamy-white. Forexoing with a black 

 slender streak at its junction with the thorax ; two black outwardly-oblique trans- 

 verse subbasal bands extending from the costa to posterior margin, the second 

 emitting a slight outward point ait base of the lower median veinlet ; a broader 

 short band across middle of the cell, a short wedge-shaped baud and then a much 

 broader band, the latter extending across and beyond end of the cell; beyond is a 

 transverse submarginal broad band, which widens below end of the cell and then 

 decreases to the posterior margin, followed by a broad marginal band, the two 

 latter being obscurely coalescent posteriorly from the second median ; interspaces 

 between the basal and subbasal bands and also that between the cell and sub- 

 marginal and of the latter and marginal band, slightly tinted with pale olivescent- 

 yellow. Hindifing with a black slender streak at the extreme base ; a subbasal 

 transverse more or less pale greyish-black baud extending from the anterior margin 

 across the cell and thence paler scaled for half distance along each side of the lower 

 median ; beyond is a discal parallel paler grey waved band, which is outwardly 

 bordered by a series of partly coalescent similar-coloured blackish-centred lunular 

 patches, these two latter being the bands of the underside showing through the 

 wing ; followed by a broad marginal dark grey band, sparsely speckled with black 

 scales, and traversed by a submarginal and an outer marginal series of black lunules,
