182 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



Female. Less tinged with blue above, all the stripes much broader and the spots 

 larger, the cell stripe of the forewing split into three parts joined together basally, the 

 cell stripe of the hindwing without the dividing line. Underside as in the other form, 

 but paler. 



Expanse, $ 2y^, ? 3^^ inches. 



Habitat. — Ceylon and South India. 



Distribution. — We have both sexes of the Dry-season form, as figured, from 

 Trincomali, Ceylon, and both sexes of the Wet-season form, as figured, from Madras ; 

 Fergusson reports it from Travaneore, and Davidson, Bell and Aitken from Canara. 



Note. — Bingham makes Fraterna a Dry-season form of Ceylanica, but the latter 

 is not an Indian insect, the South Indian specimens of Fraterna are absolutely 

 identical with the Ceylon examples, and with Moore's type-specimen which came from 

 Ceylon ; there are in our collection and in the B. M. both forms from Ceylon as well as 

 from Southern India. 



The figure of the Dry-season female is from Felder's type of his female Ceylanica, 

 which corresponds with his description.
