NYMPH ALID/E. NYMPIIALIN^. KALLIMA. 265 



S56. Kallima horsfleldii, Koiiar. 



Pa/>hia horsfieldii, Kollar in HCigel's Kaschmir, vol. iv, pt. 2, p. 434, n, 2, pi. x, female (1844); Kallima 

 horsjieldi, Moore, Trans. Ent. See. Lond., 1879, p. 13. 



Habitat : Himalayas [^HilgeT), Belgaum {Leit/i), Matheran Hill, Bombay {Neivton and 

 Smith). 



Expanse : 35 (Moore) ; 4-4 inches {KoUar's figure). 



Description : "Oblique band blue in both sexes. Apex of the forewing prolonged, no 

 discal hyaline spots. Forewing^ oblique band broad and bluish-white ; basal portion very pale 

 blue. HiHihving very pale blue, the outer border greenish-ochreous. Underside, ochreous, 

 with greenish-ochreous fascice." 



"I have not yet seen specimens of this species from the locality given by Hii gel, but 

 r possess a specimen of what I doubtfully take to be the same from the collection of the 

 late Dr. Leith, which he stated was captured in Belgaum (2,260 feet, Western Ghats of South 

 India). Specimens have also been taken by Mr. Newton and Dr. Smith on the Matheran 

 Hill, near Bombay." (^Moore, 1. c.) 



557- Eallima pMlarchus, Westwood. 



Amathusia ^hilarchus, Westwood, Cab. Or. Ent., p. 56, pi. xxvii, fig. 4, ;««/« (1848) ; id., Moore, Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond., 1879, P- ^5 > idem, id., Lep. Cey., vol. i, p. 37, pi, xx, fig. i, male (1881). 



Habitat : Ceylon. 

 Expanse : 375 inches. 



Description : Allied to A' mackwoodi, "differing in the basal area and hindwing being of 

 a deep, dusky steel-blue colour ; and in the absence of the discal hyaline spots." {Moore, I. c. 

 in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond.) The female appears to be unknown. 



The original description by Westwood is as follows :—" Wings of a blue-black colour 

 tinged with green, the tip of the forewing broadly black, with a white dot near the apex ; 

 beyond the middle is a broad oblique silvery blue fascia, having several dark blue-black obscure 

 short lines near and belo^v the tip of the discoidal cell. Hindwing concolourous, with the anal 

 angle tailed. Underside, obscure greyish-brown, freckled all over with minute brown 

 irrorations ; a slender brown streak extends across both wings (crossing the middle of the hind- 

 wing and extending from the apical angle of the foie wing to the anal angle of the hindwing, 

 where there is also another short brown parallel streak) ; half way between the middle of the 

 liindwing and the anal angle are two very obscure ocelli surrounded by whitish rings, and there 

 is a very indistinct row of minute whitish dots, running parallel with the apical margin of both 

 wings. Body entirely brown." {Weshoood, 1. c. ) 



I have not seen a specimen of this species. Mr, Moore in redescribing it above says that 

 it has no discal spots on the forewing, but two small ones are shewn in his figure, and in his 

 later description (Lep. Cey.) he states that there are " two minute scarcely discernible hyaline 

 discal spots." la Ceylon it is "a very rare butterfly. Taken at Kandy" i^Wade), 



55S. Eallima alompra, Moore. 



K. alompra, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1879, p. 14. 

 Habitat : Burma. 

 Expanse : 30 inches. 



Description : " Male. Allied to K. doubledayi from Sind, but of darker tints. Foregoing, 

 basal area of a darker tint than in K. doubledayi, the band also of a darker tint, and the male 

 has only a minute hyaline lower discal spot, which is slightly more apparent in the female. 

 Uindwitig, as in K. doubledayi, but of a darker tint. Underside, greenish-brown, tinted 

 with purple ; rib-line prominent, dark brown." (Moore, 1. c.) 



This species is unknown to me, not having specimens of A', doubledayi, I cannot identify it.
