LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
and ending beyond the lower median veinlet, its inner edge being sinuated; a few 
paler scales are contiguously clustered between the upper and middle median. 
Hindiving with a more or less slightly-defined marginal small cluster of blackish 
scales at end of the veins. Underside. Forewing white, the costal border narrowly 
and the apex broadly pale ochreous-yellow. Hindiving uniformly pale ochreous- 
yellow. 
Female. Upperside greyish-white, the hindwing being very faintly tinted 
with pale yellow. Foreiving with a broad intense black outer marginal band, 
traversed by four subapical white spots—the upper one being slender and less 
distinct; the band curves angularly outward from within upper end of the cell to 
the middle median veinlet, below which it is deeply excavated to the lower median, 
and then terminates broadly outward to the posterior angle ; base of wiug and costal 
base dark grey scaled. Hinchving with a moderately broad black outer marginal 
sinuous-edged band, the anal area and base of wing being irrorated with dark grey 
scales. Underside. Foreiving with a broad black normal-shaped subapical band, its 
inner-edge as on the upperside; the discal area greyish-white, the base and costal 
edge pale yellow tinted, the apex bright ochreous-yellow. Hindiving bright ochreous- 
yellow, traversed by a somewhat zigzag blackish-scaled broken submarginal fascia.

Dry-season Brood (Plate 554, fig. Id, e If, g $ ). 
Male. Upperside. Forewing with a narrower outer-marginal band than in the 
wet form, the cluster of scales between the upper and middle medians absent. Hind- 
wing with less apparent marginal tip to the veins. Underside with the apex of 
foreiving , and the entire hindiving of a much paler yellow. 
Female. Upperside similar to the wet form. Underside. Foreiving with 
similar black band, the apex being pale bluish-grey. Hindiving very faintly tinted 
with glossy pale yellow, and the outer margin with pale glossy bluish-grey, and—in 
some specimens-—portions of the submarginal clusters of scales are very slightly 
apparent.

Habitat. —Ceylon. 
DistkibdtiojS. —-Cramer gives “ Coromandel and Java” for his types of 
Paulina ; his figures, however, agree only with the dry-season form of our present 
species, consequently his localities are erroneous. This species is confined to Ceylon. 
Mr. L. de Niceville writes that “it is found all over the Island, but is more common 
at the commencement of the monsoons than at any other times, when it migrates in 
immense swarms. Strangely enough it has never been bred” (J. As. Soc. Bengal, 
1899, 217). Capt. Wade obtained'it in the “Western and Central Provinces, both
