244 NYMPH ALID.E. SATYRIN.E. CALI.EREBIA. 



C. scanda is quite distinct, and so also is C. orixa, the only species found in the Khasi hills. 

 C. annaJa, C. hybrida and C. ninnala can typically be easily distinguished, but there are nu- 

 merous intermediate forms. Typical C. hybrida can be distinguished from C. annada by the 

 shape of the wings, from typical C. ninnala it may be known by the far greater prominence of 

 the discal and submarginal brown lines of the underside, and in having only two ocelli near the 

 anal angle. C. intermedia and C. cashapa only differ from C. ninnala in the ocellation of the 

 hind'ving, and as neither form is at all constant in this respect, and numerous intermediate 

 variations are found linking all three together, they seem to be inseparable as species. C. 

 daksha, the smallest of the group, is also closely allied to C. ninnala, but the uniform dark 

 brown colour of the underside and the prominence of the white spots render it sufficiently 

 distinct, though it also shows variations in ocellation. 



Eey to the Indian species of Callerelsia. 



A» Upperside dark brown, with one (occasioii.iUy two to five, on hhuiiviug) ocellus on each wing, that 

 on xVt-forexving bipupilled and oval ; no ferruginous patches on either wing. 



a. Upperside with the margins of both wings broadly and distinctly paler ; underside uniform 



brown ; hindwing with the inner half only densely irrorated with pure white ; two 

 prominent subanal ocelli and four white spots in a submarginal series ; but no trans- 

 verse dark lines.

b. Upperside almost uniform brown. 



a'. The ocellus of the forewing widely encircled with bright fulvous on upper and 

 undersides. The underside tinged throughout with fulvous ; hindzving with 

 the while irrorations interrupted with numerous fulvous-brown undulated 

 striae ; the two subanal ocelli small and blind, or wanting ; the white spots 

 also wanting. 



236. C. ORIXA, Khasi Hills. 

 *'. The ocelli all with narrow irides on the upperside. 



a'. Underside brown ; hindwing with grey irrorations throughout, and crossed 

 by more or less distinct submarginal and median sinuate brown lines, 

 between which and on the inner margin the grey irrorations are denser, 

 sometimes also a subbasal line, the white spots often obsolete, the 

 two subanal ocelli prominent but often blind. 

 a^. J^omviitg elongate, outer margin nearly straight. 



237. C. ANNADA, Western Himalayas. 

 f. J^arcmi/ig short, outer margin convex. 



238. C. HVBRIDA, Western Hymalayas. 



6". Underside greyish brown, the disc of the Jarewing mMoon ; hindwing 

 with the grey irrorations very fine and indistinct, with little or no trace 

 of brown lines or undulations ; the ocelli round, the four white spots 

 present and irregularly developed into ocelli ; often more than one 

 ocellus on the upperside of the hind-wing.
