M 
ringed contiguous spot placed outwardly above it. Tuft on forewing, and glandular 
patch on the hindwing , as in ordinary Wet male. 
Female. Upperside. Both wings with the ground-colour either as in the male, 
or uniformly pale yellow-tinted throughout. Fore whig with a large black lower 
discocellular spot (which is either round, diagonal, or lobate); the marginal black 
band broader, more sinuous-edged, and generally broken posteriorly, the anterior 
portion accompanied by a more or less defined subapical series of five or six 
dentate lunules, and, generally, two lower less apparent spots, those from the lower 
subcostal veinlet being disposed obliquely inward. Ilindwing with a marginal row 
of blackish dentate lunules. Underside more or less pale or brighter yellow than in 
male. Forming with the posterior area white ; discocellular reddish spot larger, 
the subapical sinuous fascia generally more defined, and apical band broader. Rind - 
wing with the discocellular nacreous-centred spots larger, beyond which is a discally- 
curved zigzag series^ of more or less apparent reddish-scaled dentate lunules, and 
a marginal dot at* tip of the veins. Antennas in both sexes pinkish-grey. 
Expanse, c? 2 to 3 1 2 u , ? 2/^ to of 0 inches. 
Extreme Dry form (fig. lg, h, ¥ ). Female. Upperside uniformly whitish or 
pale yellow-tinted. Both wings similar to ordinary Dry female. Underside brighter 
yellow than in ordinary Dry form. Forewing with the discocellular spot more or 
less obscured, and generally surrounded by a large reddish-brown angle-edged patch ; 
the subapical sinuous fascia prominent and reddish-brown edged outwardly, 
the apical band less defined. TI induing with the two nacreous discocellular spots 
very prominent, and generally very broadly surrounded by a large angle-edged 
reddish-brown upper-medial patch extending from within base of the cell to costal 
vein, its outer edge forming the outline of upper-discal zigzag marks; the lower- 
discal zigzag marks being more or less defined. 
Expanse, ? 2^ 0 to 3 inches. 
Habitat.— Western, Central, Eastern Himalayas ; Upper and Lower Continental 
India; Ceylon; Andaman and Nicobar Islands; Burma; Tenasserim; Siam; 
Tonkin ; Annam ; Formosa ; C, and S.E. China ; Malay Peninsula; Sumatra ; Java ; 
Borneo; Philippines. 
Larva.—“ ( Gatilla ). Colour green, with a spiracular white band touched with 
bright yellow on segments two to five, and these segments, especially the third and 
fourth, are distinctly flanged on the spiracular line as in the larva of Hebomoia 
australis , though not to so great an extent. The head is round, green, the clypeus 
edged with brown, covered with small, shiny, black tubercles, which are not very 
large, and do not hide the colour of the head; the anal flap is rounded, but looks 
square at the extremity, and is covered with small tubercles, not black, but green, 
each bearing a short hair; the body is covered with rows of small black tubercles,
