13. Elymnias cottonis, Hewitson. 



Hewitson states that the sexes are alike in this species, but the three 

 females before us have the outer margins of all the wings lighter with a 

 more or less distinct submarginal rounded-angulate macular band in the 

 anterior ones corresponding to the band of blue spots in the males of 

 E. undularis, and in two specimens two, and in the other four, distinct 

 whitey-brown spots, the blurred pupils of the obsolete ocelli of the under- 

 side showing through, on the upperside of the posterior wings ; below, they 

 are much lighter than the males, the subapical triangular patch of lilacine . 

 ground-colour in the anterior wings and the submarginal lilacine ground of 

 both wings, but especially in the posterior pair, being whiter and conse- 

 quently more distinct than in the male ; there are also six pupils of ocelli 

 instead of one distinctly traceable, and the anastamozing chestnut striation 

 besides being lighter is less confluent. The females, in fact, much resemble 

 the males of JH. undularis. Hewitson makes no mention of the beautiful 

 rich deep plum-colour which suffuses the dark parts of the upperside 

 in both sexes almost equally, nor of the faint red-violet reflections emitted 

 by the light borders. 



Danais plexippus, the model of the females of the allied continental 

 form, has not yet been detected at Port Blair.
