126 THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 
That in interspace 3 is always the largest ; this spot is never 
present in alysos. The white band is never continued to the 
costa below. | 
I have examined a great number of specimens, but so far 
I have seen only one exception to the rule in Ceylon, that, if 
the band below is continued to the costa, there are never 
more than two spots beyond the band, and very rarely more 
than one ; whereas, if it is not so continued, there are always 
4to6. The sole exception is in the Colombo Museum collec- 
tion. In addition to the small spots in 4 and 5, it has two 
very minute pre-apical dots in 7 and 8. I have only noticed 
small differences in the prehensores, the most marked being 
the size of the clasps. I have selected males of both for dis- 
section approximately equal in size, and the clasp of restricta 
has invariably proved to be larger, and comparatively broader, 
than that of alysos. Elwes and Edwards describe fetsthamleti 
as having a “ broad white band on the fore wing, and five 
white spots besides,’ and quote Leech as saying that the 
band is continued to the costa below by a pale patch. If 
both these points are essential, typical feisthameliit does not, 
I believe, exist in Ceylon. 
Both are plentiful at times at Haldummulla, though alysos 
is by far the commoner form. I have specimens of alysos 
from Kandy, Ratnapura, and Galle, and of vestricta from 
Haputale and Kandy. I have bred rvestricta on Kembferia 
rotunda. | 
They are usually found in jungle, and fly rather fast up and 
down the paths, settling frequently. They are not at all shy, 
and, if frightened away, will nearly always return in a few 
minutes. 
212. UDASPES FOLUS. Found in India, Burma, Dutch 
Indies, etc. | 
A rarity in Ceylon, though Bainbrigge-Fletcher says it is 
“occasionally a serious pest of ginger and turmeric” in India 
(“ Some South Indian Insects ’’). 
I have seen it three times in my garden, and believe it had 
bred on Kempferia rotunda, as I caught a freshly hatched
