206 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



moutlis. I ODce cauglit a few specimens at Kalimpong in October. In Baling it is 

 local at 3000 feet elevation" (de Niceville, Sikk. Gazetteer, 189-1, 132). Capt. 

 M. J. Slater found it "tolerably plentiful at Dacca, 1844. It flies quietly and is 

 easily captured. I used to find one or two almost invariably near a deep pool of 

 stagnant water overhung with bamboo jungle " (MS. Notes, p. 148). " It has been 

 taken at Shelapunji, in the Khasia Hills, in October. Mr. T. G. Moncrieife took it 

 at Rangoon. Dr. J. Anderson obtained it in the Mergui Archipelago from 

 December to March, and Mr. 0. Limborg at Moolai, Moolat, and at Hatseiga, Upper 

 Tenasserim " (de Niceville, I.e. 23). Signor L. Fea took it at Bhamo, in November. 

 Col. C. H. E. Adamson records it as " common in Burma during the rainy season " 

 (List 1897, 17). Dr. N. Mauders found it " a common species in the Shan States, 

 from 1000 to 3000 feet elevation ; more rarely at higher elevations. It is almost 

 invariably found near water, and affects open spaces in thick jungle " (Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. 1890, 520). We possess examples from Nepal ; Bhotan; Khasia Hills ; 

 Burma ; Tenasserim ; Nancoury and Camorta, Nicobars ; Malay Peninsula ; 

 Sumatra ; Java ; Hainan and Formosa. Mr. J. J. Walker, R.N., records it as " a 

 common butterfly in Hong Kong, specimens usually more or less worn being found 

 from December to March, when a brood of larger and darker examples makes its 

 appearance. The green, spiny, Fanessa-like larva is often found on Glochidion 

 eriocarjmvt, a common roadside shrub with downy leaves, and the pupa, which is 

 very angular and most brilliantly gilded, is attached to the twigs of the same plant. 

 Both are very frequently infested with Ichneumons and Dipterous parasites" (Tr. 

 Ent. Soc. 1895, 451). 



Our illustrations on Plate 362 are from male and female Burmese examples.

Im.\go. — Male and female. Forewiiig with a comparatively more pointed apex, 

 and the hindwing more distinctly angulated at end of upper median veinlet, than in 

 G. ])lacida and Enjmaidliis. Upperside dark olivescent ochreous-brown, darker than 

 in Erymanthis from Sikkim, Bhotan or Burma. Foreiving with the discal transverse 

 band comparatively narrower and somewhat brighter yellowish-ochreous, its inner 

 sinuous edge less black-bordered ; the three lower-discal spots of equal size ; sub- 

 apical spots absent ; the lower marginal lunules obsolescent. Eiadiving with the two
