lines, the anterior ridge ending in a large black and white ocellus on each side. The 
pupa was distinguishable from that of Polymnestor chiefly by the two projecting 
points on the head being somewhat curved upwards ” (ib. l.c. 1890, 367). The larva 
also “feeds on Citrus clecumana and Citrus medico,” (de Niceville, J. As. S. Bengal, 
1900, 258). Mr. S. X. Ward, in his MS. Notes, writes, “ It is found from the top of 
the Nilgiris and Shevaroys to the coast on both sides, chiefly after the monsoon. It 
likes the forest and may be seen early over the trees low down on the mountain 
passes. Like Polymnestor it is fond of hovering about watery and muddy places. 
The larva feeds on the Orange and Lime, but is exceedingly difficult to find.” It is 
“ common on the Nilgiris from 1000 to 7000 feet elevation. The larva feeds on 
Orange, and has the power of protruding two pink horns from the head with a 
delicious scent. It will always do this if taken up by a pair of scissors, or by the 
beak of a bird ” (G. F. Hampson, l.c. 363). Mr. H. S. Ferguson records it as 
te common in the Travancore Hills from 2000 feet upwards ” (J. Bombay N. II. S. 
1891, 446). Col. C. Swinhoe look it in Poona, Bombay (P. Z. S. 1885, 145). 
Our illustrations of the larva and pupa on Plate 455 are from the late Mr. S. N. 
Ward’s original drawings.

Imago. —Upperside brownish-black. Forewing with sparsely irrorated golden- 
yellow scaled streaks within the cell and between the outer veins. Ilindiuing with a 
broad pale yellow upper-discal patch, which has an irregular outer border; an 
indistinct crimson slender lunule above anal angle, and other lower-submarginal 
lunules, these latter being more distinct in the female; a few yellow scales on the 
disc below the patch. Underside. Hindwing with the cliscal white patch as above, 
and a complete series of seven subdiscal blue lunules, of which the three anterior 
stand at the outer edge of the w T hite discal patch, and the two posterior are situated 
within the anal and subanal rufous spots. 
Expanse, 4J to 5| inches. 
Habitat.— Ceylon. 
Distribution. —Mr. F. M. Mackwood says this butterfly is “ found principally in 
open glades, and roadways in the jungle, from about 2000 to 4000 feet elevation. 
Capt. Wade took it at Kandy, Ambogamma and in the Kottowa forest. It frequents 
high jungle only, in suitable country; not uncommon” (Lep. Ceylon, i. 149). 
Dr. N. Manders records it as ee a very common insect in Ceylon, at all elevations, 
but especially so in the low country ” (J. A. S. Beng. 1899, 222).
