portions. Hind wing with much less apparent transverse subbasal and discal 
markings ; the outer marginal dark grey band is not so broad as in Epaminondas , 
and the marginal black lunules are narrower. Underside. Forewing with black 
transverse markings as on upperside, the two outer bands being divided throughout 
their length. Rind/wing with prominent black markings disposed as in Epami¬ 
nondas; the subbasal and discal band being narrower, the bordering outer spots of 
the latter longitudinally larger, the upper one being inwardly angled, the sub¬ 
marginal and marginal lunules narrower. 
Expanse, d 3 to 3J inches. 
Habitat. —Travancore, S. India. Described from two males, in our collection, 
labelled Travancore.

Imago. —Male and female. Upperside creamy-white. Forewing with a black 
slender streak at its junction with the thorax ; two black outwardly-oblique trans¬ 
verse subbasal bands extending from the costa to posterior margin, the second 
emitting a slight outward point at base of the lower median veinlet; a broader 
short band across middle of the cell, a short wedge-shaped band and then a much 
broader band, the latter extending across and beyond end of the cell; beyond is a 
transverse submarginal broad band, which widens below end of the cell and then 
decreases to the posterior margin, followed by a broad marginal band, the two 
latter being obscurely coalescent posteriorly from the second median ; interspaces 
between the basal and subbasal bands and also that between the cell and sub¬ 
marginal and of the latter and marginal band, slightly tinted with pale olivescent- 
yellow. Hindicing with a black slender streak at the extreme base ; a subbasal 
transverse more or less pale greyish-black band extending from the anterior margin 
across the cell and thence paler scaled for half distance along each side of the lower 
median ; beyond is a discal parallel paler grey waved band, which is outwardly 
bordered by a series of partly coalescent similar-coloured blackish-centred lunular 
patches, these two latter being the bands of the underside showing through the 
wing; followed by a broad marginal dark grey band, sparsely speckled with black 
scales, and traversed by a submarginal and an outer marginal series of black lunules,
