Type. —0. Rahria. 
Larva. —Cylindrical, smooth, with two straight fleshy filaments projecting 
forward from the head, a single backward-curved dorsal filament on fifth segment, 
and a similar one on the twelfth or last segment. Colour pale green* with a dorsal

dorsal biangulated process ; head-piece with two curved projected processes. Colour 
pale green, dorsal and frontal processes brown. (Described from Hagen’s figure 
(Iris, 1896, pi. 1.) 
Habits of Imago. —Mr. de Niceville states that “all the species of Ghersonesia , 
in Sumatra, occur only in forests, and, unlike true Gyrestis, never go to roads or 
moist places, but keep to low bushes, and rest on the underside of the leaves. They 
fly weakly, and are easily captured ” (J. A. S. Bengal, 1895, 432). The late Mr. 
W. S. Atkinson, in his MS. Notes, says that C . Bisa “ settles on the underside of 
leaves with the wings distended,”

Imago. —Male. IJpperside rich ochreous or yellowish-ochreous. Both wings 
crossed by a basal pair of fine black straight lines, the space within irrorated with 
black scales ; another pair beyond; two similar discal lines, the outer one of which 
has a series of more or less pale ochreous-yellow triangular patches along its inner 
edge, these patches being most prominent on the hind wing, followed by a steel-blue 
line which is somewhat macular and less defined on the forewing, where it is divided 
in the middle by a more or less pale ochreous-yellow patch and other smaller 
anterior patches on a dusky-speckled ground ; beyond is a submarginal fine black 
wavy line and a straight marginal line. Forewing also with a basal-costal black 
line, and two discocellular fine black lines. Hindwing also with a single discocellular 
fine black line, two outer discal and submarginal lines sinuously bent inward at their 
lower ends, and with two small black central dots above anal lobe; marginal line 
inwardly-edged with violaceous-white from the anal angle. Underside paler, markings
