398 NTMPHALIDJE. 



Ceylon dry-season specimens rauge the largest, but are otherwise 

 indistinguishable from specimens from the Nilgiris in the British 

 Museum collection, while specimens of the small wet-season form 

 from Ceylon are absolutely identical with specimens of K. wurdi, 

 Moore, regarded by the author himself as the wet-season form of 

 K. Jiorsfieldi. Again, the type of K. alompra, Moore, is now in 

 the British Museum, and in shades of colour and in markings it is 

 absolutely inseparable from many specimens of the wet-season form 

 of K. Jiorsfieldi, as are also the two specimens in the Hewitsonian 

 collection mentioned by Moore, and a specimen from " East Pegu," 

 collected by Doherty, in the Godman-Salvin collection. 



Larva. " Cylindrical, finely pubescent, armed with nine longi- 

 tudinal rows of fine branched spines ; head surmounted by two long 

 straight horns set with minute spines; colour a beautiful golden 

 brown, spines red, head black. We found one specimen of this in 

 July on Karvee (Strobilant.Jms) . ...'"' {Davidson § AitJcen.) 



Pupa. Earthy brown suffused with a slight pinkish tinge and 

 variegated with patches of darker brown ; thorax angulate, abdomen 

 with apparently a linear series of short broad tubercles. (Described 

 from the plate in the Bombay Xat. Hist. Soc. Journ. x, 1896.)

cJ . Upper side fore wing : basal area to near apex of cell and 

 thence obliquely to the zigzag subterminal line as it crosses inter- 

 space 1 dark green, succeeded by a black line along the discocellulars, 

 and a broad sinuous discal band (not curved as in K. horsfieldi) 

 bluish white below vein 3, pure white with bluish suffused inner 

 margin above vein 3 to costa ; measured on the costal margin, the 

 outer edge of this band less than half the length of the wing from 

 base, the rest of the wing to apex black, with a preapical white 

 spot ; a medial discal hyaline spot in interspace 2. Hind wing- 

 dark oehraceous brown, the costal margin and apex broadly and 

 the abdominal fold much paler brown, irrorated with scattered 

 dusky scales ; vein 1 and the abdominal fold with long soft brown 

 hairs. Eore and hind wings with a dark subterminal zigzag line 

 commencing somewhat below vein 3 on the fore wing. Underside 

 as in K. inacJius protectively coloured. Antennae black; head and 

 thorax anteriorly dark green, thorax posteriorly and abdomen 

 olivaceous brown. 



Exp. 6 108-112 mm. (4-1-4-25"). 



Hah. Sikhim ; Bhutan ; Assam, the Niiga hills ; Tenasserim. 



A rare form. One specimen was brought to me by a Lepcha at 

 Darjeeling freshly caught, taken, he said, below Goom, 6000 ft. It 

 was still in a sufficiently relaxed state to permit of the wings being 

 opened without difficulty.
