Dr. A. Gr. Butler in his latest revision of the g:enus records both 

 T. anemone, Felder, and T. hecabe, Linnaeus, from Hongkong. Had he 

 seen these common insects in life and noted the marvellous seasonal 

 changes which takes place in them I do not think he would have wasted 

 time in trying to make two distinct species out of tbem, each with 

 wet-season, intergrade or intermediate, and dry-season forms. The 

 larva in India has been recorded to feed on a great variety of plants 

 of the Natural Order Leguminosse, such as Sesbania, JEschynomene, 

 Cassia and Albizzia.
