20) THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 
It varies in Ceylon in the width of the yellow band and ~ 
the size of the pre-apical spots. 
It may be found day after day in the same place there is 
one spot on Kalupahani Estate where I can be almost certain 
to see it on every fine day for nine months of the year. It 
settles high up on a leaf, and flies round very fast, often 
returning to the same leaf, and is very difficult to catch. 
It comes well to toddy in the dry low-country, but very 
rarely at Haldummulla. It may also be taken at carrion. 
The females are seldom caught in good condition, but I have 
watched them laying their eggs on Albizzia Moluccana here. 
It is found from sea level up to 5,000 feet at least, and 
I have taken it at Haputale, Kegalle, Trincomalie, etc. 
33. APATURA (ROHANA) PARISATIS CAMIBA, E., B.; 
Rohana Camiba, M., De N. 
A. parisatis is found in N. India, Burmah, S. China, etc., 
the race camiba is confined to S. India and Ceylon. It 
differs from parvisatis mainly in the number of the minute 
pre-apical white spots in both sexes. In the male, camuba 
has 3 spots, parisatis only one. In the female, camiba has 
4or 5 spots, parisaits has usually 3. About half the specimens 
of male camtba in my collection have 4 white spots, but 
the fourth is very minute, and might easily escape notice. 
The females are extremely variable in colour and clearness 
of markings. 
The male is common and easy to capture. The female is 
much scarcer, and is usually found in jungle; it is very hard 
to catch in good condition. 
It is found from sea level to 6,000 feet at least, and is 
common at Haldummulla and Kandy, and I have specimens 
from Trincomalie, Ohiya, Kegalle, etc., but none from Galle 
or the extreme North. 
34. PARTHENOS CYANEUS, M. and De N.:;: Parthenos 
virens cyaneus, B.; Parthenos gambrisius cyaneus, E. 
Peculiar to Ceylon. It varies very little. It is very 
distinct in colour from gambrisius or virens ; gambrisius 1s 
described as ‘‘ greenish olivaceous,’’ and vivens as ‘“‘ light
