Expanse, S 1;% to 2^^, ? Ij^o *« 2 inches. 



Habitat. — SoutL. India; Ceylon. 



Distribution. — We possess botli sexes of the wet-season form from S. India, 

 Nilgiris, Travancore, and the male type from Ceylon, also of the dry-season form from 

 Pooua, Bombay. In the British Museum Collection are specimens from Poona, 

 Nilgiris, Anamally Hills, and Ceylon. Col. C. Swinhoe has a typical female of the 

 wet form taken in Poona in September, and records the dry form (Shiva) from 

 " Parbutti Hill, Poona, being very plentiful from December to April, but confined 

 entirely to this Hill" (P. Z. S. 1885, 138). Mr. G. F. Hampson obtained it in 

 Nilgiris, from " 2,000 to 4,000 feet elevation " (J. As. Soc. Beug. 1888, 362). Mr. 

 H. S. Ferguson found it " very abundant in the Travancore Hills, from 2,000 feet 

 upwards " (J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1891, 44i). In Ceylon, Mr. F. M. Mackwood took 

 it in the " Hills, from 2,000 to 4,000 feet " (Lep. Ceyl. i. 134).
