128 LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



costal vein ; middle discocellular sliglitly concave, lower discocellular oblique and 

 very slightly but evenly concave; basal interspace between tlie submedian and 

 posterior margin thickly clothed with fine longish appressed woolly-hairs. Eindwing 

 somewhat narrower than in Protlioc, the anterior margin very much arched from the 

 base and thence oblique to apex ; upper area of the cell longer, the radial starting 

 from second subcostal at nearly equal distance as the latter does from the costal ; 

 submedian vein densely covered from its base to end with fine long laterally- 

 spreading woolly-hairs ; the basal area of the cell and of middle and lower medians 

 also clothed with fine longish woolly -hairs. Body very robust ; base of abdomen 

 densely woolly ; palpi longer, and curved upward. 



Type. — A. Calydonia. 



Habits. — Mr. L. de Niceville records A. Calydonia as being found, in Sumatra, 

 only in forest, and is rare. Dr. L. Martin took his first specimen on a wounded 

 tree, where it was sucking up the juice. It was on the fourth day, after having 

 missed it the three previous days, and on the very same tree. Only one pair of this 

 strong-winged butterfly may be found over a large area of forest,- which likes to 

 keep to the higher trees, quite out of the reach of the net, but is fond of fasces and 

 strong-smelling things, such as carrion, to which it is often attracted and caught. 

 It settles with the head downwards on tree trunks, and makes, while feeding, the 

 same rotating movements in the hindwings a^s is done by many Lycsenidge" (J. As. 

 Soc. Beng. 1895, 438).

Male. Upperside. Forewinrj with the medial, basal, and lower-discal area deep 

 sulphur-yellow, the lower base bluish- white, the apical half from base of the costa 

 across upper end of cell and then irregularly-angled across the disc to posterior 

 margin before the outer angle, brownish-black ; a small yellow narrow costal spot 

 above end of the cell, an outwardly-oblique subapical series of four irregular-shaped 

 spots, the first from the costa small, the next also small and placed between the 

 lower subcostals, the third and fourth in the next interspaces, both being elongated ; 

 at the apex is a small obsolescent brownish-white spot. Hindiving with the base 

 and lower-discal area bluish-white, the broad woolly covering of the submedian 

 being slightly tinged with sulphur-yellow, the upper medial-disoal interspaces 

 between the subcostal and radial being also tinged with very pale sulphur-green, and 

 the outer costal border above white ; outer margin with a broad irregular bluish- 

 black baud, the extreme marginal edge having a slender interrupted white line. 

 Underside. Forewing. Ground-colour white, with the medial-diacal area from the
