tion of the nodus at one-third of the wing length from the wing 

 base, and the characters of the sectors of the quadrilateral. 

 These points I think all suggest specialization. The metallic body- 

 colour and the shape of the anal appendages of the male may 

 indicate a relationship to the Calopteryginae, rather than to the 

 Epallaginae. I am inclined to regard Caliphaea as an early off- 

 shoot from the main Calopterygine stem which has undergone 

 specialization along lines of its own, I am indebted to Mr. 

 Stevens for specimens and to Messrs. H, and F. E. Campion for 

 the photograph showing the wings of a male.

I have examined specimens of this form from the neighbour- 

 hood of Darjiling, and from Mr. Stevens's collection from Gopal- 

 dhara, where the species appears to be abundant.

This, the largest species of the getius, is common near Darjiling^ 

 and I have seen specimens from Kurseong [N . Annandale) as well 

 as many from Gopaldhara in Assam [H. Stevens). The latter are 

 distinctly smaller than those from further west. I have also seen 

 specimens from the Forestry Research Museum taken near Bhowali, 

 Kumaon.
