The typical form of this species does not appear to occur 

 in China, but it is represented in the Central and Western 

 parts of the Country by var, regalis. Var. eqiiitalis is 

 common throughout the same area, and there are all inter- 

 grades between this form and that which I have described 

 as regalis. One example taken at Wa-ssu-kow seems to 

 agree with the description of nydemerata, Moore, from 

 Sikhim. 



Var. ochricolor, Alph., which has the secondaries yel- 

 lowish-ochre in colour, is described from the Kham 

 mountains. 



Distribution. Himalayas ; Khasis ; Burma ; Central 

 and Western China. 



533. Callimorpha nepos, sp. n. 



Head yellow, palpi marked with black, a black spot on the frons and 

 two at the back of the head ; collar black edged with yellow ; thorax 

 yellow, the prothorax and tegula} marked with black ; abdomen 

 yellow with dorsal and lateral series of black spots, those of dorsal 

 series large. 



Primaries blackish, with white markings placed as follows — three 

 small spots between the cell and the costa ; a blotch from the 

 yellowish base to vein 2, this is widest towards the base and is only 

 separated from an oblong spot in the cell by the median nervure ; a 

 large round spot at end of the cell with a dot above it ; a transverse 

 series of seven large spots, the fifth oblong and extending almost to 

 the outer margin ; a submarginal series of four small spots, one in 

 each interspace above the oblong spot of median series, and a large 

 one below it which extends to the outer margin and is intersected 

 by vein 2 ; the inner margin is narrowly white. Secondaries white, 

 with much interrupted, macular, median, and submarginal Idack 

 bands, the first composed of four small spots and the latter of four 

 larger spots ; there are some black dots at the ends of the veins before 

 the white fringes. Undersurface as above. 



Expanse 72 millim. 



One male specimen from Chia-ting-fu, taken in June or 

 July. 



Habitat. Western China. 



Allied to C. nydemerata, Moore, and C. equitalis, Koll., 

 from each of which, however, it may be distinguished by 

 the different arrangement of the four apical spots, the 

 large spot above the outer angle, and the elongate double 

 spot at base of the primaries.
