c? $ . Upperside blue. Fore wing with a broad pure white 

 obliquely-placed discal sinuous band, its inner margin denned in 

 black along the discocellulars and base of interspace 3, with a 

 round black hyaline-centred spot in interspace 2 ; the width of 

 this discal band decreases posteriorly ; measured on the costal 

 margin its outer edge is at a distance greater than half the length 

 of the wing from base ; apical area beyond discal band black with 

 a preapical white spot, larger in the § than in the <$ . Hind 

 wing with the costal margin and apex broadly, and the abdominal 

 fold pale earthy brown. Pore and hind wings with the usual sub- 

 terminal dark zigzag line. Underside as in K. inachus. Antenna? 

 black ; head, thorax and abdomen dark indigo-blue : beneath, the 

 palpi, thorax and abdomen earth v brown. 



Exp. <$ 2 06-112 mm. (3'8-4-42").

Cethosia, Fabr. Illig. Mag. vi, 1807, p. 280; Moore, Lep. Ceyl. i 

 1881, p. 51; de N. Butt. Ind. ii, 1886, p. 31 ; Moore, Lep Ind 

 iv, 1899-1900, p. 176. 



Type, C. eydijype, Linn., from the Moluccas. 



Range. Indo- and Austro-Malayan Regions. 



S $ . Pore wing triangular ; costa evenly arched, apex rounded ; 

 termen scalloped, sometimes a little concave in the middle ; tornus 

 rounded, dorsum straight ; cell short, not half length of fore wing ; 

 upper discocellular very short, middle about half length of lower, 

 lower slender ; veins 3 and 4 from lower apex of cell, 8, 9 and 

 10 out of 7, 1 1 from upper apex of cell, 12 terminating on apical 

 half of costal margin. Hind wing broadly ovate; costa well 

 arched, apex rounded, termen scalloped ; dorsum convex, apically 

 emarginate ; cell short ; lower discocellular slender, concave ; veins 3 

 and 4 from lower apex of cell, 6 equidistant from 7 and 5 ; pre- 

 costal spur straight, simple. Antennae about half length of fore 

 wing ; club long and gradual, cylindrical ; palpi subporrect, third 

 joint moderately long, not attenuate ; eyes naked. 



The forms in this genus are said to be protected. They have 

 certainly a disagreeable odour if squeezed in the fingers. 



Key to the forms of Cethosia. 

 A. With a broad oblique discal white or yellowish 

 band on upperside of fore wing in both sexes. 

 a. A few or no black spots in interspaces be- 

 yond apex of cell on upperside of hind 

 wing.
