Field Notes

Description:

Both sexes occur in two forms. Form dissimilis: mimics blue-coloured Tigers. Colouration is black and white throughout the wings, on both sides. A sub-marginal row of “^” shaped markings, lower bifid endings on white lines and an orange spot at the anal angle are marked features apparent on the upper surface of its hindwing. These markings are prominent on its underside with an additional, marginal row of orange coloured spots. Form clytia: mimics Crows. They are brown in colour, with markings towards the outer margins as in the previous form. Form dissimilis: Similar to tigers
