Donovan observes that “ Fabricius describes this beautiful insect as a native of 
India, and for its figure refers only to the original drawings of W. Jones, Esq. We 
have ascertained the species from those drawings, collated with the manuscript in the 
hand-writing of Fabricius, and on this authority give it a place in our selection of 
Indian insects.” 
I have hesitated in adopting the opinion of the editors of the Encyclopedic 
Methodique, that this is an extraordinary variety of Thecla Vulcanus.
