LEPIDOPTERA INPICA. 
Distribution. —“ Occurs only in the extreme south of the Peninsula. It was 
taken in the Ashamboo Hills in Travancore, in May, and at Bridge, Trevandrurn, 
in May, by Mr. H. Fergusson” (Butt. Xnd. i. 124). Also taken in Travancore, in 
April, at 4100 feet elevation. According to Mr. G. F. Hampson (J. A. S. Beng. 1888, 
348) “it is found on the Anaymalai Hills, south of the Palghat Gap.” There are 
two males from the latter locality taken by Mr. Davison, from 3000 to 4000 feet 
elevation, in Mr. F. D. Godman’s collection ; these males are both smaller than those 
described above, being less than two inches in expanse, and have only three small 
less prominent ocelli on the hindwing above, and on the underside the apical 
external border to the transverse discal band is dark reddish-ferruginous instead of 
yellow. 
The illustrations on our Plate 71, fig. 2, 2a, b, c, represent the male and female 
from Travancore specimens.
