Ill India ganesa appears to be restricted to the Western Himalayas. I have 
a nice series of the typical form taken by Capt. Young at Sultanpore, Kulu. 
Col. Lang, according to de Niceville, states that A. ganesa occurs in oak- 
forests at elevations varying from 5500 to 6500 feet. The sinuous character 
of the costa of secondaries is suggestive of the genus Mahathala.

" All the wings are above of a rich dark blue, widely black-bordered, with only a trace of disco- 
cellular streaks. Tuderside brown, whitish along inner margin of fore wing. Fore wing : 
an oblong mark closing ceU, a spot within cell, a spot below each of these, a transverse 
submacular fascia beyond middle, bent on first median nervure, a series of lunules along the 
hind margin, and a line before the fringe darker brown. Hind wing: markings very 
indistinct : a basal row of throe minute blackish dots, followed by a transverse band of 
hardly perceptible brown spots ; a rather large outlined discocellular mark ; a transverse 
macular band, the spots composing which (except the two nearest the costa) are only outlined 
with darker; and a submarginal row of crescents, edged interiorly near anal angle by 
greyish-blue scales. Fringe shining brown. All the dark markings of the underside are 
faintly and very narrowly edged with lighter brown." (Murrai/, 1. c.) 
A common insect in Southern Japan in May. I captured specimens also 
in the autumn in Central Japan and at Gensan, Corea, in July. Pryer (/. c.) 
states that this species hybernates.
