spot is also apparent, the entire series vary in size, the larger series (fig. h) being 
more inwardly positioned. Hindwing with a black outer marginal dentated 
continuous or macular band, and in some specimens with the continuous band 
there are submarginal clusters of minute black scales. Underside. Foreiving 
with the discal area pale lemon-yellow as on upperside, the basal and apical

Form II. (Plate 555, fig. le, f, g), dry-season . Upperside. Both wings with

apical spots being white and comparatively more medially positioned. Hindwing 
with the black marginal band more macular and in some specimens decreasingly 
smaller. U nderside white, the hind wing being very faintly glossy yello wish-tinged and 
with a pale greyish outer marginal border. Forewing with the base faintly pale yellow

Habitat. —Ceylon. 
Distribution.— Capt. Hutchison records it as being found in the Hills of the 
Central Provinces, from 3,000 to 6,000 feet elevation, in open places in forest, 
generally in company with the preceding species, the yellow variety being found with 
the white one, but less common. Mr. F. M. Mackwood obtained it “ in the Hills from 
2,500 and principally up to 4,000 feet. It is found in abundance in the early months 
of the year, taking part in the large annual flights of butterflies ” (Lep. Ceylon, i. 131). 
Mr. L. de Niceville writes, “ It is particularly common in Ceylon, occurring wherever 
Paulina is found and at the same seasons ” (J. A. S. Beng. 1899, 217).
