44. b Callerebia annada, Moore. 

 This species, the largest of our Callerebias, is very common in the 

 spring and autumn in Mussoorie and the interior. Mr. Mackinnon 

 has bred it from the egg, and notes that the larva and pupa do not 

 differ perceptibly from the larva and pupa of C. nirmala, Moore, as 

 described by Mrs. Robson. 



45. Callerebia hybrida, Butler. 

 Occurs at Mussoorie in the early part of the rainy season (July), 

 and again in September. 



46. Callerebia nirmala, Moore. Plate U, Figs. 5a, 5&, larva ; j 



5c, front view of head of larva ; 5d, 5e, pupa. 

 The rarest of the Callerebias occurring in Mussoorie, where it flies 

 in May and June. It is very common in the interior. Mrs. Robson 

 has described the transformations of this species in the Journ. Bomb. 

 Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. viii, p. 551 (1894), and the figures here reproduced 

 have been drawn from some of these specimens. The larva feeds on 

 grass, Natural Order Graminece. 



47. Callerebia scanda, Kollar. 

 Very common in the rains in Mussoorie (July to September). . 



48. Paralasa kalinda, Moore. 



A small species, with the ferruginous patches on the upperside of 

 both wings large and including the ocellus of the forewing, the ocellus 

 with a distinct fulvous iris. We have obtained this species only from 

 the north side of the Nilang Pass at 16,000 feet elevation in July. 



49. Paralasa shallad a, Lang. 



A larger species than P. kalinda, Moore, the ground-colour of a less 

 deep black, the ferruginous patches on the upperside of both wings 

 smaller and deeper ferruginous, well removed from the ocellus of the 

 forewing, the ocellus with the iris obsolete or indistinct. We have 

 specimens from Nag Tiba, 8,000 to 9,000 feet elevation, and from the 

 Upper Granges Valley at a similar elevation taken in May, June and 

 July. We believe these two species to be distinct, but the points of 

 difference are not well brought forward in Mr. Moore's description 

 and figures of them in Lep. Ind., vol. ii, pp. 104-105. 

 50. Melanitis ismene, Cramer, 



The dry-season form, true M. ismene , is very common in Mussoorie 

 in the early summer and autumn ; the wet season form, M. deter-
