NYMPHAUD^. SATYRIN/E. CALLEREBIA. 245 



"The upperside is black-biown, a little lis^hter towanls the anterior and exterior margins ; 

 the ocellus of the /oreioini; k o]Aon<y. /////, /■-£»/;/,i,'' with a lijjhtcr marginal line. UnueksIDE 

 with four white dots in an arched line above the ocelli." (KoHar, 1. c.) 



We have never seen the female of C. scanda. Kollar's description of it is appended for 

 reference ; * but he seems to have described a female of C. an/iada by mistake. These Callere- 

 bias were at that time hardly known at all, and the specimens available for examination were 

 few in number : to judge from analogy the female of C. scanda will be found to differ but 

 little from the male in colour or style of markings. 



C. scanda is a very distinct species and shows little variation. The chief distinguishing 

 features are — on the upperside the paling of the outer margins, and on the underside the 

 absence of the ferruginous tint on the disc of the fotewing, the concentration of the white 

 irrorations on the inner half of the hindwinor, and the presence of the four submarginal 

 white dots above the ocelli. The only variation worth noticing is in the occasional dis- 

 appearance of the single ocellus on the upperside of the hindioing. In shape it corresponds 

 with C. ninnala, but it has the outer margin of i\\e Joreiviiiff movQ convex. 



" This species appears in the height of the rainy season (July and August) about the 

 hedges and banks in lower Kunawar at 6,000 to 7,000 feet altitude. Good fresh specimens are 

 of a velvety black-brown on the upperside, and on the underside have the hindwitig very 

 whitely salted, so that as they fly they look distinctly parti-coloured." {Colonel A. M. 

 Lang, R.E., in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1865, p. 501). C. scanda is common throughout the 

 outer ranges of the Western Himalayas, as far east as Mussoorie, and is probably found 

 in Kumaon, but we have no record of its occurrence further east. Our collections contain 

 only specimens from Pangi taken by Mr. Robert Ellis, from Simla and from Mussoorie.

C. orixa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1872, p. 555. 



Habitat : Khasi Hills, Munipur. 



Expanse : 22 to 2-4 inches. 



Description: " Male : Upperside dark chocolate velvety-brown, with an indistinct 

 narrow submarginal black line. Foreiuing with a large subapical ocellus, composed of a 

 round black spot, encircled by a broad bright ferruginous ring, and centred with two white 

 dots. Hindzoino with a small similar ocellus near the anal angle. Underside brighter brown. 

 Forewing mottled at the apex, the ocellus as above, with a posterior dusky border. Hind-wing 

 with numerous greyish-white transverse short strigse, which are most numerous from the 

 abdominal margin and less frequent before and below the apex ; two very small contiguous 

 anal black spots encircled by a ferruginous ring, each without a central white dot." 



"This species may be known from C. annada by the ocellus on the /t^rra-/;/^ being 

 twice as large, much more prominent, and brighter-coloured." {Mooir, 1. c.) 



C. orixa is also a very distinct species, isolated in its geographical range from the rest 

 of the genus. The female is unknown, but it probably differs very slightly, if at all, from 

 the male. We have specimens taken by Mr. A. O. Hume in the eastern hills of Munipur 

 in May, and others taken by Dr. E. R. Johnson at Shillong in May and June, and at Terria 

 Ghat below Shillong in the autumn.

* Callcrcbia scanda. "The FRMtLE is somewhat larger, the /j/wi^twX?- perceptibly lobed at the anal angle : 

 the white pupils of the ocelli absent on both sides, or very indistinct. Undfrsidk. Hindwing with the 

 white irrorations less distinct, the four white dots above the ocelli wanting." {Koliar; 1. c ) 



t The figure (plate xv, fig. 4.4) which is named C annada on the plate, really represents C. hybridn. 

 the next species, which had not been discriminated when the plate was printed.
