defined, and is then joined to the upper angle of the cell portion of the band; the 
submarginal spots also larger; abdominal margin fringed with long fine greyish- 
white hairs, the fold when open displaying a longitudinal broad whitish streak, 
bordering the submedian, containing a patch of fine long ochreous hairs. Underside 
brown, with similar markings of a bright or dull nacreous tint, the cell-streaks and 
submarginal spots being much larger. Povewing with the pair of upper submarginal 
spots sometimes united. Ilindwing with the white subbasal costal streak either 
disconnected or united to the upper angle of the cell portion of the band, and the 
black of the apical cell-spot occasionally extending inward below the base of the 
lower subcostal veinlet, and occasionally there are two black apical cells-spots 
divided by the crimson lunule, the outer one being small; the crimson outer discal 
lunules are more intense. 
Female.—Upper side with the cell streaks, and transverse band on both wings 
narrower than in male. Ilindwing with the subbasal costal streak ill-defined, the 
abdominal border with a longitudinal whitish band. Underside with similar larger 
cell-streaks and submarginal spots as in male, the transverse band on both wings as 
on upperside, the abdominal margin with a longitudinal white band. 
Expanse, d 3 to 3J, ? 3J to 3J inches. 
Larva and Pupa. —Similar to Z. Jason. (See Plate 468.) 
Habitat. —N. Western and Eastern Tndia; Sikkim; Lower and Eastern 
Bengal; Assam; Burma; Shan States; Siam; Tenasserim; Malay Peninsula; 
Andamans; Sumatra; Nias; Banka; Billiton; Java; Borneo; Balabac; Palawan; 
Hainan ; Tonkin. 
Distribution, etc. —Mr. W. Doherty records “ one male, taken at Askot, 
E, Kumaon, at 5,000 feet elevation ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 136). Mr. J. H. 
Hocking took it in the Kangra District (P. Z. S. 1882, 257). Mr. H. J. Elwes 
found it “ common in the low valleys of Sikkim from April to October ” (Tr. Ent. 
Soc. 1888, 435). It also occurs in Bhotan. Col. C. Swinhoe has received “ several 
examples from the Khasia Hills ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 314). Mr. J. Wood-Mason 
obtained “ eleven males and one female in the forests around Silcuri, Cachar, from 
May 6th to August 8th ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 375). Dr. Gf. Watt took it near 
Manipur (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1885, 342). Mr. L. de Niceville says it “appears in 
Calcutta in March, and specimens may be met with throughout the summer, but the 
spring brood is the largest. The larva feeds on the young leaves of Pohjalthia 
longifolia ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1885, 51). Mr. J. Rothney found it “rather 
uncommon in Barrackpur, near Calcutta. It frequents the flowers of Dumntia 
Plunderi ” (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1882, 33). Mr. A. Grote found the “ larva, in Calcutta, 
feeding on Michelia Champa and Uvaria longifolia ” (MS. Notes). Mr. W. C. Taylor 
records it as “not very common at Khorda, in Orissa ” (List, p. 16), Col. C. H. E.
