the band hind wards. Hindwing similar to that of the Wet-season male, but the spots 
on the exterior margin are reduced to mere dots. Underside white, somewhat tinged 
with ochreous-yellow, Forewing with the orange patch showing through the wing, 
the inner band of it represented by three or four brown spots downwards from the 
costa. Ilindwing unmarked except for a brown spot on the costa beyond the 
middle. 
Female. Rather variable, the orange-yellow apical patch of the Forewing is as 
_L V- V s ; ' ^ ^ 
usual paler than in the male, but more extensive than in the female of the Wet-season 
form, because both the outer and inner black bands are much narrower and never meet 
hindwarcls, and the spots on the outer border of the Hind wing are narrower. Under¬ 
side similar to the underside of the female of the Wet-season form, but the suffusion on 
the hindwing is of a darker, richer and more reddish tint.

Extreme Dry-season Brood (Figs, li, lj, lk, 11 = Fallens). 
Male. Upperside white. Forewing with the costal line obsolescent, the orange- 
yellow apical patch with a thin outer black border, no indications of an inner band. 
J. find wing immaculate. Underside as in the Dry-season form, the suffusion on the 
hindwing much brighter and more or less tinged with pink. 
Expanse, $ ? 1^ to 1 X 7 X inches. 
This species often exhibits albinism. Fig. lb represents a male of the Wet-season 
form, and Fig. lg a female of the Dry-season form. 
Habitat. — Southern India, Ceylon. 
Distribution. —Frequents cultivated lands and the outskirts of forests ; not a 
desert insect. Fergusson reports it from Travaneore, Aitken and Comber from the 
Konkan, Hampson from the Nilgiri Hills, Davidson from Khandesh, Watson from 
Mysore, Manders from Ceylon. It is in our Collection from the Nilgiris, Madras, 
Belgaum, Bombay, Poona and Mahableshwur. 
Larva. —Narrow; much resembles that of a moth, dull green, with no line along 
the back, but with a yellow or pinkish line along each side. It has an extraordinary 
habit of resting with the anal segment turned up and not resting on a twig. Feeds on 
Candaha Indica . 
Pupa. —Very much bent back, far more so than in Tends, the head prolonged 
into a long thin recurved beak. When first formed it is pale green, but becomes a 
greyish-white marbled more or less with brown. (Davidson in Sharpe’s Monograph 
Gen. Teracolus, p. 101.)
