118 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



more or less slender. Hindwing with the marginal band also narrower and usually 

 extending only halfway down the wing. Underside similar to the Tl'e^^form, except that 

 the transverse diseal markings of the hindwing are more prominent and whiter centred. 



Female. Upperside white. Forewing similar to the Wet form, the upper and 

 lower portion of the black inner band to the sub-apical orange fascia narrower. 

 Hindwing with the marginal band narrower. Underside similar to the Wet form, 

 the diseal markings less developed. 



Expanse, ^ ? if to 2 inches. 



Extreme Dry-season Brood (Figs. Id, le, $ ?). 



Male. Upperside white. Forewing similar to the ordinary Dry form, except 

 that the upper portion of the black inner border of the sub-apical orange fascia is 

 smaller and somewhat broken at the upper end of the cell, and the end of it is more 

 equally quadrate, the medial edge of the fascia being without any dark scaling, or 

 sometimes a few are slightly visible. Hindwing with a slightly-defined dusky upper 

 marginal narrow macular band. Underside similar to the ordinary Dry form. Both 

 wings with the markings similar but less developed. 



Female. Upperside white. Fureioing similar to the ordinary Dry female, except 

 that the upper portion of the black inner band to the orange fascia is smaller and more 

 equally quadrate posteriorly. Hindwing as in the male. Underside similar to the 

 male, but paler throughout. 



Expanse, J ijto if, $ l| inches. 



Habitat. — Mahableshwur. 



Seems to be confined to the Mahableshwur Mountains ; two stragglers were, 

 however, taken by us at Poona in the month of April, and another by 

 de Khe-Philipe at Khandalla in October, 1907. Colonel Bingham (p. 197) suggests 

 that it may be a variety of Ixias Marianne, but we have all the seasonal forms 

 in a long series of this very distinct species in the British Museum and in our 

 own Collection.
