222 NYMPHALIDjE. 



Ceylon race, with two seasonal forms. The differences between 

 the subspecies seem to me not sufficient to necessitate detailed 

 descriptions in the present work. 



Following Messrs. Bothschild and Jordan, I keep, with much 

 doubt, however, the next form separate from uthamas, of which it 

 is possibly only a dimorph.

6 2 . Closely resembles E. athamas. Can be recognized at 

 once by the discal area being conspicuously white or pale greenish 

 white, never yellowish, in either dry- or wet-season forms. These 

 latter differ slightly from each other in the width of the area 

 or band.

(S . Upperside black, glossed slightly with dull indigo-blue, or, 

 in some specimens, light green at the base of the wings. Fore and 

 hind wings with a broad white discal bar from interspace 4 in fore 

 wing to just below the apex of the median vein in the hind wing, 

 narrowing on the latter wing to a point. This bar has, on the 

 outer side on both fore and hind wings, an irregular border of 

 smalt-blue, which is narrowest anteriorly and broadens posteriorly 

 respectively on both fore and hind wings. Fore wing with, in 

 addition, a white rectangular spot in interspace 5 and a small 

 whitish speck above it. Hind wing with a subterminal row of 

 small white dots, a terminal row of deep ochraceous spots, and 

 some smalt-blue markings on the tails and margins near the tornal 

 angle. Underside pearly white, broadly brownish pink along the 

 dorsal margin of hind wing. Fore wing : two black spots at base 

 of cell ; a broad olive-green band edged on both sides with black, 

 followed by a discal bluish-white band, as on the upperside, and 

 beyond it by a transverse series of black lunules placed on a 

 purplish ground ; the lunule in interspace 1 half obliterated by a 

 large black spot ; apex and terminal margin broadly olive-green. 

 Hind wing :, a broad black-edged transverse olive-green band in 

 continuation of that on the fore wing, terminating on vein 1, 

 followed by a broad discal, posteriorly narrowing, white bar as on, 

 the upperside. Beyond this a postdiscal series of deep Indian- 

 red lunules, placed on an olive-green ground, and margined on 

 the inner side by an interrupted broad black line ; finally, a sub-
