LEPIDOPTERA INDIO A. 
three short white streaks below the cell; outer-margin with broad scarlet spots, the 
upper lunular, the lower irregular shaped, the scarlet of the subanal sometimes 
extending upward in the lower median interspace and there enclosing a lengthened 
constricted black streak, which latter is either entire or broken ; the submedian 
interspace from the angle for some distance upward is also scarlet and encloses a 
small black oval spot above the abdominal angle; end of the tail scarlet, the tip 
being white-scaled. Underside. Forewing pale olivescent-fuliginous ; cell patch 
scarlet; cell-streaks olivescent-grey, vein-streaks, as in upperside, paler olivescent- 
grey and almost white posteriorly. Hindwing intense black; cell-spots scarlet; 
apex of cell and discal white markings, scarlet outer bordering, and tail tip, as on 
the upperside. Abdomen fuliginous-brown, paler laterally, and with pale ochreous- 
yellow apical segmental bands beneath. 
Expanse, <$ 5 to 5J, ? 5 to 6 inches. 
Habitat.— S. Andamans. 
Distribution. —The type specimens of both sexes were obtained at Port Blair, 
S. Andamans, by the native collector, Moti Ram ; other specimens were also obtained 
by Mr. F. de Roepstorff. 
ILIADES PGLYMNESTOROIDES (Plate 451, fig. 1, < j, 2, $ ). 
Male. Upperside rich blue-black; cilia very slenderly alternated with white. 
Forewing with a transverse outer-discal row of short longitudinal pale greyish-blue 
scaled outer-vein streaks, these streaks being restricted uniformly towards the 
exterior margin, and decrease in width upward to the costa. Hindwing with a discal 
band formed of prominently defined pale greyish-blue scaled vein-streaks, these 
streaks decreasing to a point outwardly and do not reach the margin. Underside 
blue-folack; base of both wings with the normal scarlet patch. Forewing with the 
vein-streaks paler, broader and longer than on the upperside, but uniformly terminate 
at some distance from the outer margin ; cell streaks less defined. Hindwing with 
prominently grey-bordered submarginal and marginal black spots, the anal borders 
slightly tinged with red. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing black, the basal area darkest; base of cell and 
a minute streak below it scarlet; vein borders and cell streaks pale fuliginous-grey. 
Hindwing greyish-black basally, the outer area fuliginous-grey, traversed by a 
marginal and submarginal series of greyish-black conical spots, the discal area 
and apex of cell being densely irrorated with greyish-blue scales. Underside. 
Forewing with greyish-white vein and cell-streaks ; base of cell scarlet. Hindwing 
black, base scarlet; marginal and submarginal black spots broadly greyish-white 
bordered.
