LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
Expanse, S 4, ? 4J inches. 
Larva.— Unknown. 
Habitat. —S. India; Travancore, Hilgiris. 
Distribution. —“ This is a South India butterfly, and is perhaps little more 
than a straggler in the N. Kanara District of Bombay, but there are one or two places 
on the ascent of the Ghats where it is not uncommon. The larva remains to 
be discovered. It probably feeds on Rutacece, as we once saw a female fluttering 
about in the underwood among plants of that Order. It hag the flight of 
Aristolochiae, and has the same habit of hovering about flowers in the early 
mornings. The imago is never found far from evergreen jungle” (J. Davidson 
and E. H. Aitken, J. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, 584). Mr. G. E. Hampson says 
that, on the Nilgiris, it is “ confined to the Western Slopes, from 1000 to 
3000 feet elevation, where it is common” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 363). 
It is c * abundant in the Travancore Hills at about 2000 feet elevation. Found also 
in the low country at the foot of the Hills ” (H. S. Ferguson, J. Bombay F. H. S. 
1891, 446).
