MODUZA. — LIM1NITIS. 298 



Pupa. " Abdominal part slender with small dorsal tubercles ; 

 thorax stout ; wing-cases much dilated laterally ; head produced 

 into two foliaceous, hammer-shaped processes which meet at their 

 ends, leaving a circular hole in the middle. Colour dark brown. 

 Easily passes for a small withered and twisted leaf." {Davidson <$f 

 Aitken.) 



Var. anarta, Moore, differs from the typical form in being on 

 the upperside generally darker, the dusky-black shading more 

 extensive, the discal white macular band narrower, and the white 

 spot at apex of cell of fore wing very small, sometimes entirely 

 absent. Underside also slightly darker, the outer postdiscal row of 

 round black spots on the hind wing superposed on cone-shaped 

 lilac-blue markings. 



Exp. S 2 as in the typical form. 



Hab. Lower Burma ; Tenasserim ; the Andamans. 



In Burma I procured both the typical form and anarta the 

 dark variety. 



Race calidasa, Moore, is a still darker form, the ground-colour 

 on the upperside dusky brown with only a transverse mark in 

 the discoidal cells of both fore and hind wings, the terminal 

 portions of the wings more or less ferruginous. The markings 

 are almost identical, but the cell of the fore wing always lacks both 

 on upper and under sides the white spot at apex. On the whole, 

 too, the inner margin of the discal white band both on fore and 

 hind wings is straighter and more even. Antennae black ; head, 

 thorax and abdomen brown ; palpi, thorax and abdomen beneath 

 bluish white. 



Exp. S 2 61-75 mm. (2-3-2'98"). 



Hab. Ceylon. 



Larva. "Pale greenish yellow or reddish; head spined; the 

 segments armed with short spiny tubercles, and a long dorsal 

 divergent pair on third and fourth segments. Feeds on Cinchona, 

 Musscenda, &c." 



Pupa. " Reddish purple-brown ; wing-cases dilated ; head-piece 

 bifid, twisted and bent outwards at the tips." {Moore.)
