In Baron von Erlanger's collection there are several specimens of another small 

 Gulli/p/ithima from the Webi Mane, 26 and 27. iii. lOUl, and from (Jiuir, 2. ii. I'JUl, 

 which seem to represent a new species, if they do not beloug to some Indian species. 

 The underside of the hindwiug is rather paler than in asterope, and the clasper is 

 much slenderer. 



Calli/phfhima pupiUaris Butl. is easily recognised by the short and very 

 broad, triangular, tenth tergitc of the S. The species is occllate or non-ocellate 

 on the underside of the hindwina;.

The sj)ecimens procured by Herr Neumann have the black si)ots of the 

 hindwing completely merged together above and below, as in the individuals named 

 siginna by Herr Suffert, more so than in the specimen figured as balbina by 

 Oberthiir. Only in one specimen there are some whitish dots in the black patch 

 on tlie underside.
