to upper median branch, below which it is simiated, and ends broadly at the 
posterior angle; the veins crossing the band are generally more distinctly black- 
lined, and the extreme edge of the apex between the subcostals, and also their 
cilia, is very slightly yellow. TSindwing with the costal border glossy-white; a 
broad black continuous sinuous-edged outer marginal band. Underside paler yellow. 
Both wings with the tip of all the veins black scaled ; cilia yellow. Forewing with 
the discocellular veinlet marked by a minute upper and lower black spot—which are 
connected on each side of the veinlet by a less distinct slender line ; a glossy white 
rounded appressed patch of scales extending from above submedian vein near base, 
and below it to the extreme base. Ilmdwing sparsely indistinctly-irrorated with 
minute dusky scales; a cluster of these scales form an indistinct subapical spot, also 
an upper and lower oblique discal sinuous fascia, and two minute black subbasal 
spots between the costal and subcostal veins, one near base of cell and one between 
base of median and submedian vein. 
Female. Upperside. Both wings duller yellow, and basally indistinctly irro- 
rated with minute dusky scales ; the marginal bands paler. Foreiving with similar¬ 
shaped outer band, Idindwing with the outer band somewhat broader, its sinuous 
inner-edge defined by scattered scales. Underside irrorated as in the male. 
Expanse 3 ? lf- 0 to 1^ inch. 
Intermediate form (fig. lc. d, 3, le, 9). Male. Upperside similar to wet form. 
Forewing with the band slightly narrower and its inner-edge more acutely sinuated. 
Hindming also with the band narrower. Underside also similar, the markings, 
except at the vein tips and discocellulars, less apparent. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing also with the band more acutely sinuated ; and 
the band on the hindwing comparatively narrower. Upperside similar to the male. 
Expanse, 3 $ lf 0 to l x - 0 inch. 
Dry-season form (fig. If, 3, 1 g ?). Much smaller than intermediate form. 
Male. Upperside. Both wings with the band narrower than in the intermediate 
form. Underside with the markings slightly more distinct. Female. Upperside 
similar to the intermediate form, except that the band on the llindwing is less defined 
and somewhat macular. Underside, similar to intermediate form. 
Expanse, c? 1 ^ ; ?, 1 to ] inch. 
Habitat. —Western Himalayas; Western, Eastern and Southern India; Ceylon ; 
Nicobars; ? Hongkong. 
Distribution. —“ This is very common in the Western Himalayas. We obtained 
five specimens in Masuri, and twenty-five in the Dun, of the dry-season form, 
typical Libythea , and six from Masuri, eleven from the Dun of the wet-season form,
