THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON D 
it is extremely abundant all the year round. It flies very 
slowly and settles frequently on flowers, so is very easy to 
catch. It does not join in the flights. 
It is extremely abundant at Nuwara Eliya, Patipola, the 
Horton Plains, etc., and is not rare in wet weather at 
Haldummulla. I have never personally seen a specimen 
below approximately 3,000 feet elevation. 
The larva feeds on Alle@ophania Bee eS (“Spolia Zey- 
lanica,”’ Vol. X., Part XXXVI). 
g. EupLa@a (CRASTIA) CORE ASELA, B., E.; Euplea 
asela, M., De N. 
“ More or less confined to Ceylon though incidentally 
recorded from Western India’’ (Bingham). It is a race 
of core from which it differs in having the terminal and sub- 
terminal spots on the fore wing smaller and duller in colour, 
These spots are very variable in Ceylon specimens ; in my 
series they vary from 3 to 21 in number ; in the latter specimen 
those at the apex are very large and diffuse. They are, how- 
ever, always very dull white or buff, and never as bright as in 
the specimens of cove that I have seen. 
It is very common all the year round everywhere, but is 
particularly abundant in the flights. It settles readily at 
flowers, particularly Gynura ceylanica and a species of wild 
heliotrope; and I have frequently seen it in clusters, 
apparently feeding, at an exposed root or dead stick. 
The larvz feed on Oleander, Ficus, etc. 
ro. EupLa@a corus, B. E.; Macroplea elisa, M., De N. 
Peculiar to Ceylon and confined to the South West littoral 
tracts. The furthest inland I have seen it is at Kottawa, 
ten miles from Galle. 
It is said to have been formerly common at Colombo and 
Galle, but owing to building and cultivation it is getting 
scarce there, and a perfect specimen is quite a prize. 
Its flight is slow and it settles often, so it is very easy to 
catch.
