LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 
(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 427). Mr. L. de Niceville says it is “ an insect of the plains, 
but occurs in the lower valleys of Sikkim throughout the warm months ” (Sikkim 
Gaz. 1894, 171). Mr. W. Rothschild has a male dry-form taken in September, and 
both sexes of the wet-form taken in Sikkim, in April and October, by Mr. Miiller. 
Mr. G. C. Dungeon took it at Buxa, in Bkotan. In Burma “ it is very abundant, 
especially near the sandy beds of streams, throughout the year; the females are as 
plentiful as the males, and frequent the same places ” (Col. C. H. E. Adamson, List, 
1897, 47). Commander A. Carpenter obtained it “ at Slieemagar and Kyouk-Myoung, 
Upper Burma, in December” (Ann. N. H. 1886, 189). It is very common in the 
Shan States, but is not found, I think, above 5G00 feet ” (Dr. 1ST. Manders, Tr. Ent. 
Soc. 1890, 585). Mr. Ossian Limborg records it from “Moulmein to Meetan, 
Hatseiga, and from Naththoung to Paboga,” Upper Tenasserim (P. Z. S. 1878, 840). 
Signor L. Eea obtained it at Kokaret and Meetan in May, and at Meteleo, Karen 
Hills, in August. Mr. H. J. Elwes records “ many males and females from Tavoy, 
Ponsekai, and the Hills ” (J. As. S. Beng. 1886, 435). We possess a male of the dry- 
form, taken in Chittagong, in November, and both sexes of the wet-form from 
Burma, showing the white spot within apex of the cell. We also possess two males 
from Mr. E. de Roepstorff’s Collection, labelled “ Car Nicobar ” and “ Pulo Condul,” 
which agree with Ceylon wet-form in having the white spot within apex of the cell, 
and a female, also labelled “ Car Nicobar,” without the cell spot. 
It also is found in Siam ; we have it from the Malay Peninsula, Java, and 
Formosa. It occurs also in W. China.

Imago.— Male. Upperside. Differs from the dry-season form of Aristolochise , 
on the hindwing, in having one small short white discal spot, and sometimes two 
other more or less obsolescent small black-speckled spots, each disposed at the base 
of the interspace of the medians, and an upward elongation of the red anal spot. 
Underside. Hindwing with three small short white spots disposed in the basal 
interspace of the medians, and also a small white dentate-spot within apex of the 
cell, the two outer spots and the cell spot being slightly black-scaled. The anal 
crimson spot elongated. 
Female. Upperside. Hindwing with a small white-speckled spot only present, 
in the basal interspace of the lower medians ; the elongated anal spot paler.
