Wet-season Form. 



Male. Upperside creamy-white. Forewing with the costal line much narrower 

 than in Glaucippe, the orange-red apical patch larger, the outer marginal black band 

 narrower, the black spots smaller, and the inner band nearly obsolete, being repre- 

 sented by a thin sinuous line, or sometimes by a few black scales. Hindwing with 

 one, two or three marginal black spear-shaped spots above the middle, and a sub- 

 apical, more or less obscure spot. 



Female. Upperside white. Forewing with grey irrorations towards the base, the 

 costal line greyish on the basal half, the apical orange patch reduced in size, the 

 marginal black band being broader, the spear-shaped sub-marginal black spots more or 

 less joined together on their outer sides, forming orange spots outside them, the two 

 upper ones being generally complete, the inner band better defined than in the male 

 into a continuous sinuous line thickened hindwards. Underside of both wings much as 

 in Glaucippe, but the apical patch of forewing and the coloration of the entire surface 

 of the hindwing darker. 



Expanse, $ % A inches. 



Dry-season Brood. 



Male. Upperside white. Forewing with the costal line very thin, obscure and 

 often greyish-red tinged towards the base, the orange apical patch with the outer 

 border narrower, the sub-marginal spots quite small, the inner band absent, except for 

 a few black scales at its lower end. Hindwing without markings. 



Female. Upperside white. Forewing with a very few grey scales, almost pure 

 white, the apical orange patch as in the Wet-season form, the sub-marginal spots 

 generally well separated. Hindwing with the outer marginal band very narrow, the 

 spots small, discal spots very much reduced in size and mostly round, sometimes 

 obscure. Underside in both sexes as in the Wet-season form. 



Expanse, $ $ 3^ to Z^-q inches. 



Habitat.— Southern India and Ceylon.
