RINACA Walker. 



[Rinaca Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus., VI (1855), p. 1274.] 

 [Type, R. zuleilca (Hope).] 



[Rothschild, Nov. Zool., II, 1895, thus classifies the species:] 



(1) R. zuleika (Hope). 



(2) R. thibeta (Westw.). [syn. extensa Butler.] 



[Jordan (1911) has proposed the name R. zuleika subsp. writes for the common form at 

 Sikkim, generally called zuleika.] 



[Geographical distribution. — Northern India; Thibet.] 



RINACA EXTENSA Butler. 



Plate XCVIII, fig. 1. 



Rinaca extensa Butler, Illustrations Lep. Het., V, p. 61, PI. XCIV, fig. 2, 1881. 

 Rinaca extensa Kieby, Syn. Cat. Lep. Het., I [p. 761]. 



Imago. — " o* . Near to R. thibeta, but considerably larger; the primaries more elongated and 

 considerably more falcated in form; the ocelli larger, that of the secondaries circular; the two 

 dark bands across the primaries darker, more regular, oblique, not incurved toward the costa; 

 the gray area beyond the zigzag discal lines of only two-thirds the width and less rosy in color; 

 the outer border darker; the subbasal band of the secondaries dark brown, strongly dentated 

 below the middle; the discal lines wider apart, the inner one paler, the outer one dark brown; 

 the discal belt considerably darker; the submarginal stripe olivaceous instead of gravel-yellow. 



Expanse of wings 5 inches 9 lines. 



' ' Darjiling (Lidderdale) . 



"Mr. Moore possesses the female of this species, also from Darjiling; it differs from the 

 female of R. thibeta in the same way as the male does." 



NEORIS Moore. 



Plate CII, fig. f . 

 [Neoris Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., (3) I (1862), p. 321.] 



[Rothschild, Nov. Zool., II, 1895, recognizes a single species, which he considers the type 

 of the genus.] 



(1) N. shaduUa Moore. 



[However, N. huttoni Moore is the type of Neoris, as stated by Kirby. N. shadulla was 

 not described until 1872. Rothschild referred N. huttoni and N. jonasi to Satumia. More 

 recently Dr. K. Jordan has used Neoris as the proper generic name for huttoni, which is said to 

 have, in addition to the typical subspecies from northwest India, three other forms: (1) stoliz- 

 kana Fldr. (shahdulla Moore), from Ladak and Yarkand, at over 12,000 feet altitude; (2) galerope 

 Pung., from Persia; (3) schencki Stgr., from Saisan, Alexander Mountains, and Ferghana.] 



CALIGULA Moore. 1 



[Caligula Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., (3) 1 (1862), p. 321.]

1. C. simla (Westw.). [Northern India.] 



subsp. japonica Butler. [Japan.] 



2. C. cachara Moore. [Cachar.] 



1 [Jordan (in Seitz, 1911) uses Caligula in an entirely different sense for the following species: 

 C. thibeta Westw. Northwestern Himalayas. 

 C. extensa Butler. India. 

 C. boisduvalii Ersch. South of Lake Baikal.
