in cell and the upper clisco-cellular nervule also shaded with fuscous. Body and legs more or less 

 concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 58 to 70 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India ; Sikkim, Sylhct (Marsh, it do Nic.).— Upper Tenasserira (Marsh, i'^- dv Xic.).— 

 Malay Peninsula ; Penaug (Birch— coll. Dist.) ; Perak (Kunst.— Calc. Mus.) ; Sungei Ujong (Durnl'ord— 

 coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Biggs— coll. Dist.) ; Singapore (Westwood).— Hiani (Marsh. & de Nic.).— Nias Island 

 (Kheil). — Sumatra (Snellen). — Java (coll. Dist.). — Borneo (Druce). 



Although at the time of writing on the genus Ckronie I had not seen an authenticated 

 specimen of this species from the Malay Peninsula, I have since freely received it from several 

 correspondents. It seems suhject to little variation, though some Perak examples arc very 

 darkly coloured on the under surface of the wings. 



Capt. Godfery, a most observant collector, who captured this species at Sungei Ujong, 

 supplied the following particulars : — " Taken in a shady nook near a well. Its flight was very 

 low. Issuing from the surrounding jungle it would flit along the path, or rest upon it for 

 awhile and then return to the thickest shades." 



C. arcesilaus will here follow C. gracilis. 



Group NYMPHALINA (antea, p. 83). 



Genus KALLIMA (to precede Doleschallia). 



Kallima, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 324 (1850); Feld. Neues Lep. p. 14 (18G1); Moore, Lop. C'eyl. 

 vol. i. p. 36 (1881). 



This genus is closely allied to Doleschallia, from which it may he separated by the following 

 characters : — the cell of the anterior wing is not open by the abortion of the lower disco-cellular nervule, 

 but is closed by that nervule, which is concave, and the third subcostal nervule of the anterior wings is 

 emitted much nearer to the end of the cell than in Dnlisvliallia. 



Kallima, as previously anticipated (aiitea, p. 83), is now found to inhabit the Malay 

 Peninsula. It is both an Ethiopian and Oriental genus, being found in Tropical Africa and 

 also in Continental India, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Burma, Tenasserim, Sumatra, Java, 

 Borneo, and is probably somewhat widely distributed throughout the Malayan Archipelago. 

 The species of Kallima are also generally known as "leaf-butterflies," from the extraordinary 

 foliaceous resemblance of the under surface of the wings, a phenomenon which was forcibly 

 described by Mr. Wallace, and is one of the best remembered and most often quoted facts in 

 that author's charming " Malay Archipelago."

Kalliiiid Bii.rtiini, Moore, Traus. Ent. Soc. 1879, p. 10. 



The following is Mr. Moore's original description of his species : — 



"Most like the Java species (A'. Panilekta). Male, differs in the intensity of the blue of the upper- 

 side, broader and more oblique band, the inner border of which terminates at its own width al)ove the 

 posterior angle ; female, paler purple-blue, with broad fulvous baud as in male. Underside, male, dusky 

 greyish-green, vinous tinted and black speckled, with broad greyish fascia; ; female, pale greenish-ochraceous, 

 vinous tinted ; rib line only prominent." 



Exp. wings, 90 to 96 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula ; Perak (Wray) ; Sungei Ujong— 1300 feet (Durnford— coll. Dist.).
