Chkysalis. —Suspended by the tail; broad, and truncated anteriorly, abdominal 
segments dorsally convex, head and vertex both pointed ; colour pale green. 
Habitat. —S. India; Ceylon. 
There is no distinctive difference between South Indian specimens and those of 
Ceylon. 
Distribution. —In his “ List of Orissa Butterflies,” p. 2, Mr. W. C. Taylor 
records it as “ not uncommon at Khurda.” Specimens have been “ taken at Mynall, 
at 2000 feet in May,” also at 3000 feet in March and April, and “ at Trevandrum in 
June,” as well as at Calicut in September (Butt. India, 151). Mr. G. F. Hampson 
(J. A. S. Beng. 1888, 348) obtained it on the “ Nilgiris at 3000 to 5000 feet, being 
common in the low country jungles and on the slopes of the Hills.” A female 
obtained by Mr. Davidson on the Anaymalai Hills, 3000 to 4000 feet, South of the 
Palghat Gap, is in the Collection of Mr. F. D. Godman. In Ceylon, Capt. Hutchison 
(Lep. Ceylon, i. 18), took it “ in the Hills of the Central Province, at 3000 feet and 
slightly above, at all times; being very local, and found in several spots of limited 
extent.” Mr. F. M. Mackwood notes that it is “ sometimes found at lower elevations, 
but as a rule over 3000 feet.” Mr. B. E. Green captured it at Pundaloya in 
¥ 
March, and April.
