KALLIMA. 



•Ail 



K. Bisaltide has the under surface of all its wings marked bej'ond the middle with a row of ocelli, three of which in the hind winTs, 

 and two near the anal angle of the fore wings, are the most conspicuous, the others being often more or less obsolete. K. Paralckta 

 and some other species are destitute of these ocelli, but have the under side of the wings of a greyi^h red-brown colour with darker 

 shades, with the dark oblique line across the middle of all the wings very consj)icuous, so tliat, when the insect is sittin" at i-cst with its 

 wings closed, it can with difficulty be distinguished from a withered leaf, the dark central line exactly representinn- the mid-rib of the 

 leaf This species seems to be subject to several geographical mollifications, which have been regarded by Boisduval and KoUar as 

 distinct species. The Himalayan specimens have the tips of the fore wings much more acute than the Javanese kind, as figured by 

 Dr. Horsfield, and both sexes arc marked with a vitreous spot in the middle of the wing, the general form and colourin"- of bodi males 

 and females offering no material difference. Dr. Horsfield also represents the Javanese insect as having the talc-like spot ; whereas the 

 K. Horsfieldii of Kollar, and the female represented in our fifty-second plate under the name of Paralekta, have the wings destitute of 

 this patch. The original^ Ceylon^ specimen of K. Philarcluis, represented by me, possessed no talc-like spot, neither do'es it exist in a 

 male specimen of the species now in my collection ; but there are two specimens of the male in the British Museum collection, one of 

 which has each of the fore wings marked with two very conspicuous vitreous spots. Further observations, upon a more extended 

 series of specimens than we now possess, will alone enable us to determine whether this be a real specific or casual character. 



K. Paralckta has the third branch of the postcostal vein arising at a short distance beyond the extremity of the discoldal cell, 

 which is closed by a slender, curved, outer disco-cellular vein in all the wings. K. Runiia, from Ashanti (PI. LII. f 2. male), has 

 the fore wings not angulated at the tip, but the dlsooidal cell is closed in all the wings, as in K. Paralekta. The female of this species 

 differs from the male in being larger, with the wings brown, and destitute of the purple gloss and fulvous patches, and in having the 

 oblique central fascia broken up into a number of oval white spots, with a row of smaller spots of the same colour running to the tip of 

 the wing ; the hind wings are also marked with a large whitish transverse patch beyond the middle, beyond which are two indistinct 

 ocelli. 



K. Eurodoce is a new species from INIadagascar, communicated by Dr. Boisduval, remarkable for the very hooked form of the fore 

 wings ; the under side is ferruginous, with darker shades and lilac irrorations traversed by a curved dark line. The discoidal cell of all 

 the wings is closed by a very delicate curved outer disco-cellular vein. 



The Eastern K. Bisaltide is entirely destitute of metallic gloss, and has the discoidal cell in all the wings open; the outer disco-cellular 

 vein of the fore wings being reduced to an almost indistinct spur at the end of the middle disco-cellular. K. Cymodoce has also the 

 discoidal cell of all the wings open. This species is remarkable for the rich tints of the basal half of the wings in both sexes, the male 

 being of a splendid blue, whilst the female is of a more purple tint ; the latter having moreover an oblique, entire, dull whitish -buff 

 fascia, between the middle and apex of the fore wings.
