3G4 G. F. Hampson — Butterflies of the NUgiri District. [No. 4, 



" Allied to C. helenus. Differs in its more triangular form of fore- 

 wing. Hindwing with the three white (very pale yellow) patches, as 

 seen on the upperside, much wider in both sexes, the upper portion 

 being twice tlie width of that in G. helenus, and the lower portion ex- 

 tends to, and slightly crosses, the discocellular. On the underside, the 

 grey-speckled fascia on the forewing is narrower, and crosses the discal 

 area midway between the end of the cell and exterior margin ; the 

 white patches on the hindwing are of the same width as seen from 

 above, and form a complete continuous band, cut evenly by the slender 

 black veins (not disconnected as they are in G. helenus) ; the sub- 

 marginal and anal red lunules are similarly disposed, but in both sexes 

 there are two small lunules between the subanal and the white patch." 



" Expanse d" 5, $ 5| inches." 



" This species is to P. helenus what P. tamilana is to P. joaris.*^ 

 1000 — 7000 ft. Common. Larva like that of P. helenus as figured 

 by Horsfield and Moore, feeds on orange, and has the power of protru- 

 ding two pink horns from the head with a delicious scent; it will 

 always do this if taken up by a pair of scissors as by the beak of a bird.
