Although the female forms of this species are usually the largest, the rule does not 

 universally apply, as the Female specimen figured (Tab. XI.. \\ 1 ) bears witless. 



The larva and pupa of this insect, as observed in Java, are described and figured by 

 HorstieUl;^ the larva is stated to feed ''on a species of Justicia bearing the native name of
