94 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



E. T. Atkinson collected it in Western Central India. Colonel C. Swinhoe (P. Z. S. 

 1883, 145) also collected the ivet-season form in " Mhow, Central India, in September 

 and October 1881," also recording it (P. Z. S. 1886, 423) as being " very plentiful 

 in Mhow from May to November ; and at Neemuck in November." 



In Mr. G. F. Hampson's collection are several of the wet-season brood, which 

 were taken by Mr. W. H. Irvine at Bholakat, Malda District, Upper Bengal. The 

 dry-season hrood (Mca Hewitson), of which the type specimen was taken in Malwa, 

 Central India, is in the British Museiim collection. Colonel Swinhoe records it 

 (P. Z. S. 1883, 145) from Mhow, December and February, and in P. Z. S. 1886, 

 422-3) his alJcibie, also from " Mhow, being very plentiful from November to March, 

 and at Depalpur in January and February ;" the variety, complexiva, having been 

 also taken at "Depalpur in November." The type specimens of both the tvet 

 and dry-season form of this species, referred to above, have all been examined and 

 verified by the author. 



Of the illustrations of this species on our Plate No. 114, fgs. 2, 2a represent the 

 male and female wet-season brood (ariaspa), ^^'s. 2b, c, d, e, the dry-season hrood ; 

 fig. 2b being a male similar to the figure of ' complexiva,' and figs. 2c, d, e, being 

 typical * Inica ' and ' Alkibie.' 



Genus DALLACHA. 



Imago. — "Wings short. Forewing yqtj broad ; costa much arched, apex obtusely 

 rounded, exterior margin almost erect and slightly convex ; cell broad, very long, 

 extending to more than half the wing ; first and second subcostal branches emitted 

 before end of the cell, third and fourth at equal distances beyond ; upper disco- 

 cellular angled close to the subcostal, concave below, lower discocellular convex ; 

 subcostal much swollen at the base, median not swollen. No androconia. Hindioing 

 short, very broad; cell extending to beyond half the wing; discocellulars long, very 

 oblique ; with two apical and two anal ocelli on the underside. Palpi stout, densely 

 clothed ; antennte with a very lengthened slender club. 



Type. — D. Hyagriva. 



According to Mr. W. Doherty (Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 1886, 119) " the 

 venation of the forewing shows this species to be a true Callerebia, both the first and 

 second subcostals being emitted before end of the cell. The structure of the pre- 

 hensores shows the same thing. All the Saiyridae known to me, except Ypthima and 

 Melanitis, have the uncus branched, and in Hyagriva this part is branched precisely 

 as in other Callerebia. The prehensores are scarcely to be distinguished from 

 those of C. Annada."
