92 A LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 
less than eleven specimens (six of which were females) were 
added during that year and several more have been taken since, 
mostly from: well-collected over localities round Kuching; it 
seems to frequent old jungle only, and the female, flying low 
and slowly, is easy to capture. ‘Taken all the year round. 
Variable in size but not in markings.

Distribution: India and Malaya, including Ceylon, Andaman 
Isles, and the Philippines. 
A large series in the Sarawak Museum does not show any 
seasonal “differences, though the specimens have been taken in 
most months of the year. The only point of variety is the 
lower sub-costal spot on the underside of the hind-wing, which 
in many specimens is well-developed, agreeing with Bingham’s 
figure of the species in Ran Brit, India, but in others 
it is much reduced and in two it is absent altogether. 
There is a curious female (the only @ in the series) which 
has been identified as C. puspa on account of the correct mark- 
ings and colour of the underside; the upper side of which is 
black, except for a slight discal patch of iridescent blue in 
the fore-wing, vader like the female L. range Moore, 
figured by Swinhoe (Lepidopt. Ind. Vol. VIL. pl. 620, fig. 1a, 
1910).
