LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 
costal vein; middle discocellular slightly concave, lower disco cellular oblique and 
very slightly but evenly concave; basal interspace between the snbmedian and 
posterior margin thickly clothed with fine longish appressed woolly chairs, j Hindwing 
somewhat narrower than in Prothoe, the anterior margin very much arched from the 
base and thence oblique to apex; upper area of the cell longer, the radial starting 
from second subcostal at nearly equal distance as the latter does from the costal; 
submedian vein densely covered from its base to end with fine long laterally- 
spreading woolly-hairs ; the basal area of the cell and of middle and lower medians 
also clothed with fine longish woolly-hairs. Body very robust; base of abdomen 
densely woolly; palpi longer, and curved upward. 
Type.— A. Calydonia. 
Habtts.-—M r. L. de Mceville records A. Calydonia as being found, in Sumatra, 
only in forest, and is rare. Dr. L. Martin took his first specimen on a wounded 
tree, where it was sucking up the juice. It was on the fourth day, after having 
missed it the three previous days, and on the very same tree. Only one pair of this 
strong-winged butterfly may be found over a large area of forest, which likes to 
keep to the higher trees, quite out of the reach of the net, but is fond of feces and 
strong-smelling things, such as carrion, to which it is often attracted and caught. 
It settles with the head downwards on tree trunks, and makes, while feeding, the 
same rotating movements in the kindwings as is done by many Lycgenkfe” (J. As. 
Boc. Beng. 1895, 488).

Male. Upperside. Forewing with the medial, basal, and lower-discal area deep 
sulphur-yellow, the lower base bluish-white, the apical half from base of the costa 
across upper end of cell and then irregularly-angled across the disc to posterior 
margin before the outer angle, brownish-black ; a small yellow narrow costal spot 
above end of the cell, an outwardly-oblique subapical series of four irregular-shaped 
spots, the first from the costa small, the next also small and placed between the 
lower subcostals, the third and fourth in the next interspaces, both being elongated ; 
at the apex is a small obsolescent brownish-white spot. Eindvnng with the base 
and lower-discal area bluish-white, the broad woolly covering of the submedian 
being slightly tinged with sulphur-yellow, the upper medial-discal interspaces 
between the subcostal and radial being also tinged with very pale sulphur-green, and 
the outer costal border above white; outer margin with a broad irregular bluish- 
black band, the extreme marginal edge having a slender interrupted white line. 
Underside. Forewing . Ground-colour white, with the medial-discal area from the
