NYMPHALINjE . (Group LIMENITINA.) 33 
taken in the cold weather on the road from Naththoung to Paboga in Upper 
Tenasserim. Dr. J. Anderson took it in Mergui in December. Colonel C. H. E. 
Adamson records it as “ very abundant throughout Burma during the rainy and dry 
seasons” (List, 1897, p. 19). Mr. H. Druce records it from “ Chentaboon, Siam ” 
(P. Z. S. 1874, 105). “ In the N\ Kanara District, Bombay, this species is very 
common in all the more open wooded or scrubby parts during the latter half of the 
rainy season and throughout the dry months. During June and July it is rarely 
seen. The larva may be found on several species of Acacia , and has the curious 
habit of feeding by preference, not on green leaves, but on those which it has caused 
to wither” (J. Davidson, J. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, 250). Mr. H. S. Ferguson 
records it from “ Travancore, the wet-season form being much commoner than the 
dry-season ” (J. Bombay H. S. 1891, 8). Lieut. E. Y. Watson took it at 
“ Kathlekan, Mysore, in November and December” (id. 1890, 4). It also occurs in 
the Malay Peninsula; Sumatra; Java; Borneo.
