THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 99 
170. HEBOMOIA GLAUCIPPE AUSTRALIS, B., E., Hebomoia 
glaucippe, M. Also found in Southern India, but is only a 
race of H. glaucippe, from which it differs in having no inner 
black border to the orange patch on the fore wing. Females 
in the wet season sometimes show this black border fairly 
well, and the ground colour of the upper side is then pale 
greenish-yellow instead of white. 7 
It is very common in the low-country, especially in the 
drier regions. Single specimens apparently ‘“‘ flight ’’ all 
the year round, and may be seen at the highest elevations. 
These fly very fast and seldom settle,.so are almost impossible 
to catch. The largest flight I ever saw was in November, 
1912. From south of Maho to Ambanpola, on the Northern 
line, the train passed for nearly half an hour through a swarm 
of many thousands. 
In the dry low-country the males settle in numbers on wet 
patches on the roads, in river-beds, etc., and are easy to 
catch. The females may be taken at flowers. When settled 
the resemblance to a dead leaf is very striking. 
171. HUPHINA NERISSA EVAGETE, E. Huplina phryne, 
M.; Huphina nerissa, var. phryne, B. 
Moore also gives H. zeuxippe from Ceylon, but this is 
only a pale variety, which I have taken at Haldummulla 
and in the north of the Island. It is probably a dry season 
form. | 
Evans does not give nerissa as found in India. He gives 
the race phyyne from Nepaul and Assam, and evagete for the 
rest of India and Ceylon. Bingham gives merissa for Nepaul, 
Assam, and Bengal, and var. phryne from Nepaul, Bengal, 
Southern India, and Ceylon. 
It is very plentiful in the low-country, especially in the 
drier parts, and may be seen settled in hundreds on mud or 
wet sand. It flights at least twice a year, and is then common 
everywhere in the hills. I have seen it in swarms at Nuwara 
Fliya. I have not yet, however, observed it in the Galle 
District. 
172. HUPHINA NADINA REMBA, B. Huphina vemba, M.; 
Huphina nadina cingala, E. Evans gives our Ceylon race
