extending only halfway down the wing. Underside similar to the Wet forte, except that

sometimes a few are slightly visible. Hindwing with a slightly-defined dusky upper 
marginal narrow macular band. Underside similar to the ordinary Dry form. Both 
wings with the markings similar but less developed.

that the upper portion of the black inner band to the orange fascia is smaller and more 
equally quadrate posteriorly. Hindwing as in the male. Underside similar to the

Habitat. —Mahableshwur. 
Seems to be confined to the Mahableshwur Mountains ; two stragglers were, 
however, taken by us at Poona in the month of April, and another by 
de Bhe-Philipe at Khandalla in October, 1907. Colonel Bingham (p. 197) suggests 
that it may be a variety of Ixias Marianne , but we have all the seasonal forms 
in a long series of this very distinct species in the British Museum and in our 
own Collection.
