264 NYMPIIALIDyE. NYMPHALIN^. KALLIMA. 



Bassein (Bombay), another from Travancore, and lastly one without locality, agree with 

 Kollar's figure of K. horsfiddii, the discal band being broad, no hyaline spot in the 

 Khandalla specimen, and only a minute one in the ones from Travancore, Bassein, and without 

 locality. The main point of distinction, however, between these specimens, and the other 

 females I possess is the great length of the apical process of the forewing, in all the other speci- 

 mens it is very much shorter, showing a correlation between the species of this group 

 and of the yellow-banded group. A single male of this group from Coonoor, one from 

 Canara, one from Travancore, and two without locality, have the hyaline spots very small, 

 another from the Pulni Hills has no hyaline spots at all. Of the seven other specimens, 

 one without locality, agrees with the Travancore male specimen, except that the discal band 

 is broader, and the discal spots are large. The six remaining specimens consist of a pair from 

 Khandalla, a male from Bassein (Bombay), a female from Coonoor (taken with the Coonoor 

 male mentioned above), and two females from the Wynaad. All these specimens, as stated above, 

 have the apex of the forewing but slightly produced in both sexes and the hyaline spots are 

 very large. The discal band is variable in width, being widest in the Khandalla male, of less 

 width in the Wynaad females, and narrowest in the Khandalla female. All these specimens 

 are probably K. ivardi. It is however to be noted that Khandalla produces female Kallimas 

 with long apical processes and no hyaline spots {K. horsfieldii), and others with short apical 

 processes and large hyaline spots (A', wardi) ; also that in the pair from Coonoor the male 

 has very small discal hyaline spots, while the female has these spots large. Arranging them 

 according to localities from which I possess both sexes, I obtain the following contradictory 

 results : — A pair from Coonoor taken ht coptcld has the discal hyaline spots small in the male 

 large in the female, a Travancore pair have them small in both sexes, a pair from Bassein 

 and another pair from Khandalla have them large in the male and small in the female, 

 but it should be remembered that Khandalla produces two forms of female, one with a 

 long the other with a short process to the apex of the forewing, and I am quite unable to say 

 which female is the correct pair to the male. Mr. Moore in describing K. wardi ?,a.ys 

 that it has the discal band '* more erect than in any other species." If I have correctly 

 identified my specimens, the band has the same direction as in K. horsfieldii. In all the 

 specimens before me the markings on the underside are very variable, Mr. Moore appears to 

 rely somewhat on them to distinguish between his species, but I hardly think that they will 

 prove to be a reliable guide to specific discrimination. I have reproduced Mr. Moore's 

 descriptions of these species without further remark, adding a key to them, derived wholly 

 from his descriptions, except the single character which, as far as I am able to tell, separates 

 K. knyveitii from all the rest. K. xoardi may possibly be distinct, but the five species which 

 precede it will, I think, most probably turn out to be merely varieties of a single species which 

 will stand as K. horsfiddii,
