(These forms have been reared from the eggs of one female by 
Mr. Bell in India). 
‘ This species is not uncommon in Jalor and Nawngchik, flying in the 
brightest sunshine about village plantations and at the edge of secondary 
jungle. Its flight closely resembles that of several species of Danais, and it 
evidently belongs to an association of Lepidoptera, which includes several 
butterflies of the sub-families Danainae, Pierinae, and Papilioninae, and which is 
characterized by the possession of broad wings of white or very pale dull 
green, grey or yellow, heavily veined with black, dark brown, or dark blue. 
We have taken certain of these butterflies in the same locality and habitat, and 
at the same time of day as Cyclosia papilionaris, but it should be noted that 
the individual variation in size of the species makes some specimens of the 
moth resemble the Rhopalocera more nearly than others.’

‘ Resting on tree-trunk ; afternoon. When pinned and set this insect 
bears a striking resemblance to the butterflies of the Nox group of the genus 
Papilio, especially to P. erebus, which it approaches most nearly in size ; the 
resemblance being due to the shape of the wings (though they are somewhat 
longer and narrower in the moth than in the butterfly), to their black colour, 
slightly relieved by a veined blotch of bluish white in the centre of the hind 
wings (though the obscure veining on the forewings is characteristic of the 
moth and not of P. erebus), and to the brilliant red coloration of the sides of the 
body and parts of the head (though its distribution is not quite the same in
