synonymous with K. hiu\^elii. The shape of the discal band on the forewing, and the colour 

 of the base of both wings seem insufficient to specifically separate it from that species. 



553- Eallima limTDorgii, Moore.

 1879, P- i°* 



IIabttat : Upper Tenasserim, Moolai, 3,000 to 6,000 feet. 



Expanse : $, 375 ; ?, 4'° inches. 



Description : •' Allied to K. inachis from Sikkim ; but differs in the deeper and more 

 uniform steel-blue colour above in both sexes, the contour of the wings, and the small 

 almost circular discal hyaline spot. Forewing less angled on the hindward part of the 

 exterior margin ; the apex more produced in the male, less so in the female, the discal hyaline 

 spot small and almost circular. Hhiiiwlng, less convex on the exterior margin, and has a 

 much shorter tail. Underside luteous-brown, purple-tinted, and rufous-speckled, brightest 

 in female ; rib and basal lines indistinct in male." {Moore, 1. c. in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond.) 



In Major Marshall's collection are numerous Kallimas taken by Captain C. T. Bingham in 

 Upper Tenasserim close to the locality where the type specimens of K. limborgii were obtained, 

 and one in Colonel Swinhoe's collection named by Mr. Moore himself. I find that Mr. Moore's 

 description of this species does not hold good as compared with Sikkim specimens of 

 K. inachis, the colouration is not deeper or more uniform, the forewing is quite as much 

 angled at the first median nervule, the apex is less (instead of more) produced in both sexes, the 

 discal hyaline spot is very variable in shape, occasionally circular, more usually oval, some- 

 times linear, and so on. The Tenasserim specimens, however, are uniformly smaller than 

 Sikkim specimens of K. inachis, a feature not noticed by Mr. Moore, and as the apex of the 

 forewing is usually not so produced in either sex as in K. inachis, K. limborgii may perhaps be 

 retained as a distinct species. It would perhaps more rightly rank as a local race. 



K, buxloni from Sumatra appears to be very doubtfully distinct from K, limborgii ; the 

 description of it is appended.* It is the only species of this group which is not recorded from 

 India. 



554- Kallima Tooisduvali, Moore.

Habitat : Kasowli, Masuri, N.-W. Himalayas ; Nepal ; Sikkim. 

 Expanse : 2-9 inches. 



Description : Allied to K. inachis. "Of smaller size than the other species. Foreioing 

 truncated and blunt-pointed at apex ; fulvous band narrow, its inner angular border broadly 

 black ; discal hyaline spot small but prominent ; basal area uniformly blue. Himhmng, 

 uniformly blue. Underside, ochreous-brown, numerously covered with dark brown speckles 

 and strigre ; rib and basal transverse lines very prominent." {Moore, 1. c.) 



This is the rare dark-coloured Kallima, which is found occasionally throughout the 

 Himalayas, and which lacks the slender prolongation of the apex of the forewing. 



In Major Marshall's collection is a single male Kallima from Simla which agrees fairly well 

 with this description in size and outline, but he possesses specimens from Upper Tenasserim 

 (/. e. at almost the other extreme of its range) which also have the outer margin of the fore- 

 wing truncate and the apex blunt-tipped. The Simla specimen has the basal area dark 

 purplish-blue rather than greyish-blue, which latter is the colour usually prevailing in the

 ,.,5 • /j.,„a/^, 39 inches. Description: " Nearly allied to the Javan K. parakkia. Male. Differs in the 

 intensity of the blue of the upperside, broader and more oblique band, the inner border of which terminates at

 Female, pale grcenish-othreous, viuous-iiiUed ; rib-line only prominent." (Moore, 1, c)
