THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 125 
I have never seen a specimen alive. Like the last (G. thyrsis) 
it flies late in the evening, and the Kandy collectors brought 
me plenty in August, 1918 and 1919.- The female is much 
rarer than the male. See Plate 2, fig. 4. 
The clasp is figured on Plate 4, fig. 23. 
210. UDpASPES ALYSOS. Notocrypia fetsthamelit, E ; Plesi- 
oneura alysos, M. 
211. UDASPES RESTRICTA. Notocrypia feisthamelii, E.; 
Plesioneura restricta, M. 
Swinhoe, in “ Lepidoptera Indica,” gives N. feisthamelit 
and NV. resivicta from Ceylon, and Fruhstorfer names them 
Notocrypta alysos alysos and N. feisthamelii restricta. 
The type of fetsthameli is from the Moluccas, and races 
are found in India, Malaya, China, Japan, Philippines, etc. 
The types of vestvicta are from Ceylon. 
The genitalia of vestricta are difficult to distinguish from 
those of Udaspes folus. Moreover Mr.T. R. Bell says (‘‘Journal 
of the Bombay Natural History Society.,” Vol. XXVII., 
p. 786), that their larve are difficult to distinguish from each 
other, and their pupz are quite indistinguishable. Both feed 
on Zinziberacee. I therefore do not see how they can be 
placed in different genera. Udaspes is an older name than 
Notocry pta. 
I agree with Moore that there are two distinct species in 
Ceylon, and Mr. Bell has proved, by breeding, that the two 
corresponding forms in Kanara are distinct. 
Our forms are :—-Ist, alysos.—Upper side fore wing: The 
white band is of nearly even width throughout, and its outer 
edge has a fairly regular curve. Beyond this band there is, 
as a rule, one spot in interspace 4, but this is sometimes 
absent. I have seen a few specimens in which there was also 
a very minute spot in interspace 5. Under side: The white 
band is always continued to the costa by an opaque whitish 
patch. and, vestricta.—Upper side fore wing: The white 
band broad in interspace 2, and narrower in the cell and 
interspace I. White spots outside the band in 3, 4, 6, 7 and 
8, and occasionally in 5. The spot in 6 is sometimes absent.
