37. EuTHALiA LUBENTiNA, Cramer. 



Found in Ceylon not commonly in the thick forests between Dambool 

 and Anaradhapura, and Darabool and Trincomali. It occurs in many 

 parts of India, in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Tndo-China and Sumatra. 

 The females are more frequently met with than the males. Its transform- 

 ations are known, the larva feeding on Lora-^zthus. 



38. Edthalia gardda, Moore. 



Not so common as the next, but found in the same localities. 

 Mackwood got it at 3,000 feet elevation, and Yerbury at Peripanchera- 

 kuUam on the Kandy Road ; Manders at Heneratgoda. It occurs 

 nearly all over India, in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Indo-China, 

 vSumatra, Java, and Borneo, the form from the three last-named 

 islands being probably the E. sandahana of Moore. The larva and 

 pupa are well known, the former feeding on plants of many orders, but 

 more especially on the mangoe. 



39. Euthalia vasanta, Moore. 



Found only in Ceylon, and very common in the low country, 

 especially so about gardens in Colombo in June and July, and again 

 from October to December. The transformations are known, the larva, 

 like that of E. garuda,, Moore, feeding on mangoe leaves. 



Dr. Moore in Lep. Cey., vol. iii, p. 529 (1887) records E. puseda, 

 Moore, from Ceylon from specimens in the British Museum. In Lep. 

 Ind., vol. iii, p. 99 (1897) he records Cynitia puseda from the Malay 

 Peninsula only. It can hardly occur in Ceylon. 



Group Limenitina, 



40. LiMENiTis (Modiiza) calidosa, Moore. 



Moore as M. calidasa. Confined to the Inland, and a local race of 

 L. procris, Cramer, from India and Burma. In Ceylon it is not rare in 

 the jungles of the lower hills. The transformations have been described 

 and figured. 



41. Neptis jumbah, Moore. 



Moore or N. Juviba in Lep. Cey., and Andrapana jibmbah in Lep. Ind. 

 Common in the jungles in the North Central Province, but not ex- 

 tending into the lower hill district. Manders has taken it at Anarad- 

 hapura, Mahintale and Dambool in August ; it also occurs in many 

 parts of India, Burma, in the South Andaman and Maldive Isles. Ifc is 

 a well-marked and easily-recognized seasonally dimorphic species j and 

 its transformations have been recorded.
