98 LEPIBOPTERA INBICA. • 



covered with more or less-confluent cinereous-white transverse strig^ ; crossed by an 

 ill-defined discal brown sinuous fascia, this fascia being dilated anteriorly before the 

 apex, and by a less defined upper marginal brown fascia ; two small anal blind ocelli. 



Female. Upperside somewhat paler, the ocellus on both wings larger, the one 

 on the forewing being round. Underside as in the male, but paler, the ocellus on 

 forewing large and round, the ocelli on the hindwing also larger. 



Expanse, c? 2^^ to 2^^, ? 2^q inches. 



Habitat. — Himalayas (Kashmir to Bhotan). 



Distribution. — We have examined, and verified specimens, now in the British 

 Museum Collection, taken by Colonel A. M. Lang, at Masuri, 7000 feet elevation, 

 in June, 1868, and others taken at Naini Tal, 4000 to 7000 feet, taken in May, 

 September and October, in Mr. G. F. Hampson's Collection. We possess specimens 

 from Masuri and Kashmir, taken by the late Major H. B. Hellard in August and 

 September, and others from Major-General Gr. Ramsay's JNepal Collection. Major 

 J. W. Yerbury (P.Z,S. 1886, 358) records specimens (which are now in the British 

 Museum Collection, and have been verified as true C. Annada) " between Abbottabad 

 and Kala Pani, taken on 25th September, 1885, being not uncommon about Kala 

 Pani ; its habits here appeared different from those of Callerebia in general, as 

 it was flying over stones and low bushes, not afi"ecting the shade ; near Tret on 

 October 8th, however, G. Annada afi'ected the shade much like C. NirmaJa." Mr. 

 W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 119) records it from " Kumaon generally, from 

 5000 to 7000 feet elevation ; first specimen taken on September 22nd." In Mr. J. 

 H. Leech's Collection, are examples taken by Mr. MacArthur, at Kujiar, 6000 feet, 

 in April, at Narkunda in April, and at Kala in August. " Mr. Hocking took it in 

 the Kangra District ; Major C. H. T. Marshall obtained it in the Chumba State in 

 May, and Mr. L. de Niceville took it at Simla. The type is recorded from Bhotan. 

 The India Museum, Calcutta, has it from Nepal, and it is probably to be found in 

 all the intermediate regions, occurring in the rainy season " (Butt. India, i. 246), 

 Mr. H. J. Elwes (Tr. Eat. Soc. 1888, 327) says, "I have no specimens taken in 

 recent years in Sikkim, but two which were contained in Mr. Wilson's Sikkim 

 Collection are somewhat larger tban those from Kulu and Nepal. Mr. Knyvett's 

 collectors took it in 1887, in the interior of West Bhotan, near the Sikkim frontier."
