Male. Forewing with an oblique uniformly narrow 

 fulvous band, its inner border terminating at posterior 

 angle ; basal area and hindwing deep blue. Female, with 

 bluish-purple white band ; basal area and hindwing dark 

 rufous-brown ; discal hyaline spot in both sexes small and 

 oval.

Kallima Heavitsoni, n. sp. 



Kallima Paralekta, Doubleday and Hewitson, Diurnal 

 Lep. pL 52, f. 3 ? (1850). 



Female. Similar to K. Paralekta, differing in the 

 shape of the bluish-purple white band and absence of the 

 discal hyaline spot.

Hab. — Himalaya. In Coll. late W. C. Hewitson. 



Although the " Himalaya " is given by Doubleday and 

 Hewitson (1. c. p. 325) as the locality of this species, I 

 doubt its correctness. There is no locality label on the 

 type specimen.
