of terminal third paler green, the discal spots white, reduced to 

 two or entirely absent, and the postdiscal lunular black curved

The ground-colour in this form varies as it does in D. evelina. 



Race narayana, Grose-Smith and Kirov, is known only from a 

 single specimen, a $ , in the collection of Mr. H. Grose-Smith. 

 It is described as smaller, paler, with the white discal spots on 

 fore wing smaller than in the typical form. On the upperside of 

 the hind wing the discal spots are reduced to two, as in some 

 specimens of the £ of the typical form. On the underside the 

 ground-colour differs ; it is entirely greenish blue over both fore 

 and hind wing, getting slightly paler towards the terminal margin 

 of the fore wing.
