CORYPILfcOLA. 107 



the middle of the hind-wings, and running somewhat obliquely, 

 and indented to the middle line. At about the point where 

 the sub-marginal line is cut by the upper sub-costal nervure, 

 another brown line runs obliquely to the central line, nearly 

 parallel to the straight lower part of the sub-marginal line. 

 Outside this inner line is a row of five very indistinct eyes 

 with grey rings and small black pupils, the fifth, however, 

 having a white pupil instead of a black one. On the fore- 

 wings the oblique transparent spot stands just outside the cen- 

 tral line, opposite the point where the first inner line adjoins 

 it ; this spot is surrounded by a pale yellowish iris, like those 

 on the hind-wings, and there is a row of black spots above it, 

 between the nervures, running obliquely outside the central 

 line. The sub-apical vitreous spot is also, of course, visible 

 on the under side. 



This species is very similar to several others from North 

 India, but may be known by its somewhat obtuse fore-wings, 

 and the inconspicuous central vitreous spot. In some of the 

 other species the tip of the fore-wings is long and pointed. 



The specimens in the British Museum are from Masuri and 

 Nepal. 



EXOTIC GENERA ALLIED TO KALLIMA. 



In addition to the African representatives of Kallima, we 

 find the smallest species of this group, belonging to the genus 

 Coryphceola, Butler, in Madagascar. The type of this genus, 

 C. eurodoce, Westwood, much resembles a Precis in size and 

 colour though not in shape; it measures about two inches 

 across the wings, which are brown, with a fulvous band, mar- 

 ginal on the hind-wings, but sub-marginal and curving inwards 

 to the costa on the fore-wings. The tip of the fore-wings is 

 strongly falcate, and the anal angle of fhe hind-wings, which are 

 rather long and not angulated^ is produced into a tail, curving 

 slightly outwards.
