64 THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 
at Haputale. I have so far not taken it north of Dambulla. 
III. CASTALIUS DECIDEA. Also in India and Burma. 
Fruhstorfer names our form C. caleta hamatus. 
Moore also gives G. hamatus, but Bingham says this is only 
the wet season form. They certainly grade into one another. 
In Ceylon the variation seems to depend very little on 
rainfall. Some of mine, with an exceptionally narrow band 
(viz., hamatus), were taken here in the dry season, and some 
with the broadest band were taken from March to May, 
when there is a fair rainfall. Others are from Galle, which 
is in the wet zone. 
It is a jungle fly, with habits like the last, except that it 
apparently flights at times. 
It seldom settles on wet patches on the roads 
I have only taken it in the southern half of the Island, and 
never at any great elevation. It is very plentiful at times at 
Galle, and I have also taken it at Kegalle and Peradeniya.

112. HORSFIELDIA ANITA NARADOIDES, with @ f. DARANA. 
Amblypodia darana and naradoides, M.; Amblypodia anita, 
De N., E. 
A. anita is found in India, Burma, Borneo, and Siam. 
Capt. N. D. Riley has published a revision of the genus in 
“The Entomologist.”’ He points out that the type of 
Amblypodia is A. apidanus so that name cannot stand for 
this genus. 
De Nicéville writes: “I believe A. davana to be a dimor- 
phic female form only of the widely distributed A. anita, 
Hewitson ; which form may possibly be confined to S. 
India and Ceylon.’ Moore says davana is larger than 
naradoides, the male being darker blue, and the marginal 
band narrower ; the anal lobe is red only in the middle, its 
margin and the tail being black. The female is uniformly 
coloured above. I have not yet acquired any specimens of 
males answering to this description. Moore says it is found 
at Kottawa. I have only one male from there, but it exactly 
matches all my other specimens on the upper side, and I
