S 2 • I* 1 both dry- and wet-season forms closely resembles 

 JY. mahendra, Moore, but the following differences seem to be 

 constant in long series of both insects : — 



Upperside, 3 $ : the triangular spot beyond apex of discoidal 

 streak on fore wing conspicuously more elongate and attenuate at 

 apex ; the posterior three of the discal series of spots shorter and 

 more obliquely placed : the postdiseal transverse series of small 

 spots more complete. In many specimens the markings are not 

 pure white as in N. mahendra, but cream-coloured. Underside : 

 ground-colour paler respectively in both seasonal forms, the 

 general appearance of the insect paler and more whitish than 

 in N. mahendra, the elongate triangular spot beyond apex of 

 discoidal streak much closer to the latter, very often touching it. 



Exp. cj $ 56-65 mm. (2-22-2-58"). 



Hah. Himalayas from Campbellpur and Abbotabad to Sikhim ;
