Wet-season Form. 
Male. Upper side creamy-white. Forewing with the costal line much narrower 
than in Glaucippe, the orange-red apical patch larger, the outer marginal black band 
narrower, the black spots smaller, and the inner band nearly obsolete, being repre¬ 
sented by a thin sinuous line, or sometimes by a few black scales. Hindicing with 
one, two or three marginal black spear-shaped spots above the middle, and a sub- 
apical, more or less obscure spot. 
Female. Upperside white. Forewing with grey irrorations towards the base, the 
costal line greyish on the basal half, the apical orange patch reduced in size, the 
marginal black band being broader, the spear-shaped sub-marginal black spots more or 
less joined together on their outer sides, forming orange spots outside them, the two 
upper ones being generally complete, the inner band better defined than in the male 
into a continuous sinuous line thickened hindwards. Underside of both wings much as 
in Glaucippe, but the apical patch of forewing and the coloration of the entire surface 
of the hindwing darker. 
Expanse, $ ? 4 inches. 
Dry-season Brood. 
Male. Upperside white. Forewing with the costal line very thin, obscure and 
often greyish-red tinged towards the base, the orange apical patch with the outer 
border narrower, the sub-marginal spots quite small, the inner band absent, except for 
a few black scales at its lower end. Find wing without markings. 
Female. Upperside white. Fore wing with a very few grey scales, almost pure 
white, the apical orange patch as in the Wet-season form, the sub-marginal spots 
generally well separated. Hindwing with the outer marginal band very narrow, the 
spots small, discal spots very much reduced in size and mostly round, sometimes 
obscure. Underside in both sexes as in the Wet-season form. 
Expanse, $ $ 3 XX to 3 XX inches. 
Habitat. —Southern India and Ceylon.
