3t LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



narrow streaks below the cell, the upper streak of a curved-club shape, the lower 

 streak generally joined to the lowest discal spot ; five small spots curving before the 

 apex, sometimes three only in the female; a marginal row of spots, and a short 

 streak at base below the submedian vein. Hinclwing with three streaks within tlie 

 cell, a discal series of elongated streaks, and two outer rows of small spots. Under- 

 side paler than above, the dark colour of the hindwing tinged with green. 



Expanse, 2>\ to Z\ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Distinguished from T. Limniace and T. septentrionis in having two basal streaks 

 within the cell of the forewing, wider interspaces between the discal and marginal 

 series of spots, and in the form of the streaks below the cell ; on the hindwing there 

 are three streaks within the cell. 



Distribution. — Has been obtained in Chittagong, and in Arakan in March and 

 July. Capt. C. H. B. Adamson (Proc. A. S. Beng. 1882, 142) records it as "taken 

 at one locality on the seashore at Akyab, wliere they were in company with S. Genutia, 

 S. hegesippus, L. clirysippiis, and T. septentrionis, which were all abundant at that 

 one spot. Had I not been looking for them, I should have passed them over as T. 

 septentrionis, but now I can tell the difference at once on the wing. T. gautama 

 shows much less blue when on the wing, and is more like P. Aglea in appearance, 

 except for its larger size." It was also captured in Moulmein in June (Butt. Ind. i. 

 46). Mr. Watkins also received it from Henzada in the Moulmein District. Capt. 

 C. T. Bingham took a single specimen in the Meplay Valley ; and Dr. J. Anderson 

 (J. Linn. Soc. Zool. xxi. 29) obtained it commonly in " Mergui in December and 

 March, and also at Zediwon in December." 



Indo-Malatan Allied Tirumalas. — These topomorphic species are T. Melissa 

 (Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 377, figs. C D), and T. coujwicta (Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 

 231), both of which are inhabitants of Java; — T. microsticta (Butler, Ent. Monthly 

 Mag. 1874, p. 163), described from Borneo, occurring also in Java and Nias; — 

 T. orientalis (Semper, Mus. Godeffroy, xiv. pi. 8, f. 5). Hab. Luzon.
