Dr. Boisduval gives Nepal as the habitat of the species 

 which he figures as above. This is doubtless an error. 



Kallima Buckleti, n. sp. 



Compared Avith its nearest ally {K. Inachis^ this 

 species has quite a different appearance, the male being 

 of larger size than the same sex of that species ; outline 

 of wings similar ; forewing with a shorter and broader 

 fulvous band than in any of the other species, the discal 

 spot blind (having no hyaline centre) in the male, and 

 present only as a minute slender one in the female ; basal 

 area and the hindwing of a uniform greyish-blue. Under- 

 side of male dusky purple-brown ; bright reddish-brown in 

 female, with greyish-purple sinuous fasciae ; rib line in- 

 distinct in male.
