separated from Ilecabe by Capt. Watson. We have figured the larva and pupa of 
the' two species. Both species appear to be almost equally common in the 
N. Kanara District. We have a specimen of Silhetana caught in October, in which 
the ground-colour is pure white instead of yellow, the markings being normal ” 
(J. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, 571). 
Mr. L. de Niceville states that the larva of this species also feeds on <£ Poinciana 
regia, N. 0. Leguminosse ” (J. A. S. Beng. 1900, 252).
