THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 83 
they are broadest at the margin, whereas in eucharis they 
come to a point there. Seitz, in his work on Butterflies, 
states that eucharis is white at the apex of the fore wing 
below and sita is yellow. D. eucharis is yellow at the apex 
below, as stated by Moore, in almost all Ceylon specimens ; 
I have, so far, only caught two which were white. All my 
sita are yellow. 
The male is common all the year round at Haldummulla, 
especially during the south-west monsoon, and may be seen 
day after day in the same place. It flies fast and high, going 
round the same trees for hours, often in company with 
eucharis, but it comes to flowers, especially Lantana, early in 
the morning, and often settles on wet patches on the roads in 
the heat of the day, so it is not difficult to procure. The 
female is very seldom seen, or, if seen, is mistaken for ? 
eucharts. 
I once came on females in numbers settled on an evil- 
smelling blossom in the Amherst gap, Uda Pussellawa, in 
company with 4. remba, but not a specimen was perfect. 
I have taken it from 500 to 6,000 feet elevation in Uva, 
and have specimens from Uda Pussellawa, Balangoda, and 
the hills above Ratnapura.

149. CATOPSILIA POMONA, E. Catopsilia crocale, M., B. 
Also found in India, Malaya, and Australia, 
Bingham treated these as one species, but Bell has found 
that their larve are distinct. They can be distinguished 
as follows :— : 
Crocale.—A conspicuous reddish pearl-centered spot at the 
end of the cell on the under side of both wings. Antennz 
plum coloured. 
Pomona.—The spots at the end of the cell usually absent 
in the g, and absent or inconspicuous in the?. Antenne 
blackish-brown. 
C. crocale $ varies very little. The 2 has two forms: one 
sulphur-yellow, and the other cream colour. The first is by 
far the most common. Var. catilla is the variety of 2 crocale, 
with large reddish blotches in the centre of the under side of
