Lep. Mus. E.I.C., from drawings made by Dr. Horsfield in Java. The larva and pupa 
of R. xenophon are very similar to those of R. jarbas. (de Niceville.) 
Habitat. —India, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Nias, 
Andamans. 
Distribution. —Widely distributed, but not common anywhere in the Indian
