spines; pupa suspended by tail and medial band; imago emerged in August (MS. 
Notes). Messrs. J. Davidson and E. H. Aitken record “ this butterfly was very 
common in the N. Kanara District of Bombay, in 1889, in March, June, and July; 
it frequented one particular spot about half-way up the Gfoodhally Hill; elsewhere 
we seldom met with it. On June 23rd we discovered the larva on a jungle tree (since 
identified as Saccopetalum tomentosum , N. 0. Anonacem) and literally collected 
hundreds. By the end of July these had all become pupa” (J. Bombay, N. H. S. 
1890,364). “ The butterfly is plentiful enough where it occurs, much more so, 
however, in some years than others, but it is very local, and its appearance is limited 
to the hot season and the first two months in the rains. More than half the year, 
from the end of July till at least March, or oftener May, is passed in the pupa state 
under stones and roots” (id. l.c. 1896, 579). A specimen from Belgaum, Bombay, 
is in the British Museum. Mr. J. Beetham obtained it in the Central Provinces 
(l.c. 1891, 330). Col. C. Swinhoe records it from “ Mount Aboo, Central Provinces ” 
(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 313). He also possesses a specimen from Ranchi, Chota Nagpur, 
Lower Bengal. Mr. W. 0. Taylor found it “ very common in some places in Khorda, 
Orissa ” (List, 1888, 16). The late Edw. Blyth writes that it “ abounds in the vicinity 
of Calcutta and other parts of Bengal, during the dry hot season ” (MS. Note). 
Mr. J. Rothney found it “ rather uncommon in the Calcutta District. It frequents the 
flowers of Durantia Plumieri ” (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1882, 33). Mr. L. de Niceville says, 
“This species comes out in profusion, in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, in March, 
and is the only single-brooded species in Calcutta with which I am acquainted. The 
larva feeds on Polyalthia longifolia ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1885, 51).
