194 LEPIDOPTERA INDIQA. 



Imago. — Male. Forewing triangular, less so in tbe female ; apex obtuse, costal 

 vein extendino- to two-thirds the margin ; subcostal vein four branched, first branch 

 emitted at one-fourth and second at one-eighth before end of the cell, third bifid at 

 one-third before the apex ; upper radial emitted at one-fourth beyond the cell ; upper 

 discocellular obliquely-concave, lower straight, the lower radial from their angle ; 

 cell more than half length of the wing ; middle median at one-fourth, lower at more 

 than half before end of the cell ; submedian vein waved. Hlndwing short, broadly- 

 oval ; exterior margin convex hindward ; precostal vein nearly straight ; costal vein 

 curved ; first subcostal at one-third before end of the cell ; upper discocellular very 

 oblique, lower less oblique, radial from their angle ; cell broad ; middle median at 

 one-fifth and lower at near half before end of the cell ; submedian vein straight, 

 internal recurved. Body moderate ; thorax stout, hairy ; palpi porrect, hairy 

 beneath, second joint extending half beyond the head, third joint long, slender; 

 antennae with a lengthened spatular club. Anal valves of male elongated, provided 

 with a tuft of long rigid hairs on each side of the base beneath. 



Larva [Libythea]. — Cylindrical, slightly tapering at each end ; anal segment 

 slightly bifid. 



Pupa. — Head with a short frontal snout ; a thoracic dorsal acute prominence, a 

 medial-abdominal lateral angular-process on each side. 



TypE. — A, Zelmira. 



Seasonal Vaeiation, etc. — " This is shown in the rainy-season forms being 

 larger and more profusely marked than the dry-season ones. The latter also having 

 the ground-colour of the underside tinged with ochreous instead of being pure white. 

 A. Zelmira is a species which shows the transition from the extreme of one form to 

 the extreme of the other more clearly than any other species known to me, and it is 

 by no means difficult to obtain a series of males showing every stage from one 

 extreme — with all the veins on the underside of the hindwing broadly black, to the 

 other extreme — in which the whole hindwing is of a uniform, slightly ochreous tint, 

 the only marking being a few greyish scales across the end of the cell." (Watson, 

 J. Bombay N. H. S. 1894, 497.)
