of the cell; these are followed by a black bar between that of the basal bands and 
the large anal spot; beyond is a submarginal row of black slender broken lunules, 
which are more defined than on upperside, and then the marginal zigzag row of 
lunules; basal interspaces tinted with dark olive scent-yellow, and the outer discal 
interspaces clouded with bright yellowish-ochreous. Body and legs greyish-white; 
sides of abdomen pale ochreous, with a longitudinal row of black spots; thorax 
above clothed laterally with fine grey hairs, a longitudinal black dorsal streak 
extending to front of head; collar and sides of frontal tuft ochreous ; forelegs 
blackish above ; tarsi blackish; antennm black. 
Female. Upperside similar to the male. Hindwing with the dark grey caudal 
patch broader. Underside similar to the male. 
Expanse, S 3 to 3J, ? 3f to 4 inches. 
Larva.— Smooth ; slightly distended about the fourth and fifth segment; with 
two short pointed subdorsal tubercles on third and fourth, segment, two fleshy 
tubercles on second segment, and two on anal segment. The colour, according to 
specimens reared by Davidson and Aitken ( l.c . 1890, 579), £C in its early stages, is 
pure white, marked only with thin transverse lines of black or dark green; at the 
last moult but one it becomes yellow, with thicker lines, and after the last moult 
attains the colour shown in our figure. Feeds on TJnona Lawii , N. 0. Anonaceas.” 
Pupa. —Attenuated at anal end ; thorax truncate in front and with a short 
frontal-pointed dorsal prominence ; colour pale green, with lateral pale yellowish 
line. 
Habitat. —Ceylon; S. and C. India; Assam; Sikkim; Bhotan ; Burma; Shan 
States; Siam; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula; Sumatra; Java; Borneo. 
Distribution and Habits. —In Ceylon, according to the observations of Mr. 
F. M. Mackwood, this is “ a scarce butterfly, being found only in a few localities, 
widely apart, at about 1,500 to 3,000 feet range. Capt. Hutchison obtained it in 
the Eastern Province, in plains and forest, in August. Capt. Wade took it in the 
Kottowar forest, and at Dalle; rare elsewhere” (Lep. Ceylon, i. 142). Dr. A. 
Manders says it is “ rare and local in Ceylon. It seems to be more partial to the 
Eastern and drier parts of the Island ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1899, 223). 
In S. India, Messrs. Davidson and Aitken write, “ Our acquaintance with this 
species is limited. We first met with it at Grairsoppa, in the South of Kanara, but 
have since found it at one or two places further North. It begins to appear in 
March, and there can be little doubt that it is on the wing for a few months only, 
like P. Nomius. On April 26th, 1893, a female deposited a single egg, and though 
the little caterpillar which emerged perished by starvation, the plant ( (Jnona Lawii) 
not being then obtainable, we next year succeeded in getting a few more, and an 
amateur figure was made of the larva and pupa. The pupa is supported by an
