These large and handsome butterflies frequent the skirts of forest districts ; the 

 males often settle on the ground in damp or muddy places, in company with many 

 Papilionida3 and Pieridse ; when thus resting the wings are erect ; they are at once 

 distinguishable from all around them by the peculiar attitude they assume, the upper 

 wings being depressed between the lower pair, so that its basal half is completely 

 hidden by them ; as probably a consequence of this we find that this basal half of the 

 upper wings is always pale in colour on the underside, and devoid of the characteristic 

 markings of the exposed portions ; the females fly rather low, in woods and thickets, 

 and seldom come out into the open grounds, and are therefore less frequently 

 captured (Wallace). 



Imago. Foreicing triangular, apex more or less acute, costa arched towards apex, 

 exterior margin oblique, posterior margin recurved, costal vein extending to two-thirds 

 the margin, first sub-costal branch rising at one-third and second at one-fourth before 

 end of cell, third from the end, fourth branching from the third at one-fifth before its 

 end, fifth absent ; upper discocellular minute, oblique, vein 6 arising close to upper 

 angle of cell, which is little more than half the length of the wing ; middle and lower 

 discocellulars concave, the lower slightly the longer. 



Hindwing sub-oval, broad, exterior margin rounded and sinuous, angles also 

 rounded, inner margin nearly straight to near base, where it is highly convex ; 

 pre-costal nervure short, simple, inclining outwards. Antennae about half the 

 length of the forewing, gradually thickened to apex, latter sub-truncate. Palpi 

 situated low down the face, somewhat flattened, scalv, clothed with stiff" hairs
