PIERIN2E.

Distribution. —“This is a forest butterfly, and is found in the N. Kanara 
District, wherever there is heavy forest, at all seasons. In its rainy-season dress it 
is a very richly-coloured butterfly, the female being more black than white on the 
upperside, and on the underside rich greenish-yellow mingled with smoky-brown. 
The larva and pupa are scarcely distinguishable from those of H. Phryne, and feed on 
the same plants ” (Davidson and Aitken, J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1896, 575). In the 
Nilgiris it is “ common on the western slopes, but a rare straggler throughout the 
rest of the district” (Hampson, J. As. Soc. Bengal, 18*8, 363).

Imago. —Male. Upperside similar to Remba. For Giving with the costal black- 
scaled edge extremely slender, the outer marginal black band narrower than in 
Bembct, its inner anterior edge being at some distance from the discocellulars and the 
posterior end much attenuated. Hindwing with the marginal black band very narrow, 
in some being almost macular in its course; the grey posterior edging being also 
much narrower and less apparent. Underside similar to Remba. Forewing with 
the costal border and outer band narrower, as on the upperside. Hindwing with the 
markings more obscurely defined and the coloration much duller. 
Female. Upperside similar to palest examples of Remba. For Giving with the 
outer band narrower and not extending to the discocellulars. Hindwing with the 
grey basal area extending to the costa, its outer edge prolonged between the lower 
subcostal and radial, the outer marginal area not speckled with submarginal clusters 
of grey scales. Underside similar to the male. 
Expanse, d 2^ to 2^, ? 2 inches. 
Habitat. —Ceylon. 
Distribution. —Mr. F. M. Maclcwood records it as “ rare in the Hills, from 
2,000 to 4,000 feet elevation” (Lep. Ceylon, i. p. 137). “An uncommon insect in 
Ceylon, and of speedy flight, consequently difficult to catch. It is found in the hill 
country between 2,000 and 4.000 feet, and is common at Pundaloya ” (de Niceville, 
J. As. Soc. Bengal, 1899, p. 220).
