Egg. —“Tawny; globular, ribbed, with a small point at the apex.” (E. B. 
Green, MS. Note.) 
Habitat. —Ceylon. 
Distribution. —“ Peculiar to Ceylon, and confined locally to the middle bill- 
district. It is not rare at Pundaloya and Gampola in June, and is easily captured in 
the early morning; after the sun is up it flies fast and soars oyer the tops of 
the forest trees quite out of reach” (Dr. N. Minders, Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 1899, 
221). Mr. P. M. Mackwood records it as “ very local. Hills from 2000 to 4000 feet 
elevation. Taken only in the Navalputha and Pusilawa country in a tract of about 
twenty miles in extent, in June.” Capt. Wade obtained it “at Ambagamma; 
Kollawah forest. Bather plentiful, but very difficult to capture, being a high flier ” 
(Lep. Ceylon, i. 152).

streak, the upper cell-streaks extending to the end; a short whitish streak also 
present below the submedian vein. Hindwing with the cell longer, the discal 
sullied-white patch extending from two-thirds before end of the cell and there 
traversed within by two longitudinal slender obscure blackish lines, the portions in

quadrate spot in the costal interspace; six submarginai obscure dusky crimson 
lunules, and one at the anal angle. Underside. Forewing paler ; vein streaks paler. 
Hindwing with the discal patch, as on upperside, whiter; the six submarginal 
lunules and the anal lunule prominent, broad, pure pink. Thorax and abdomen 
black, tip of abdomen ochreous; frontal tuft and palpi pale ochreous.

of the discal whitish patch externally speckled with dusky scales, the upper 
or costal portion is small or divided into two; the submarginal lunules and 
anal lunule somewhat broader. Underside similar to the upper, the streaks on 
forewing and discal patch on hindwing whiter, the submarginal lunules and anal 
lunule as in the male.
