NTMPHALIN^. (Group yTM:FBAtiyA.) 173 



common, specially during July and August, among Karvi {Strohilanthes), on Tvliich 

 the larva feeds, but is more difficult to catch than most butterflies, owing to the 

 swiftness of its flight and its habits of always resting on the trunk of a tree, head 

 downwards, in situations in which a net is not easily manoeuvred. No butterfly, 

 however, is more easily seduced with liquor. It flies in the day, but keeps out of 

 the sun" {ij. I.e. 1896, 256). 



Mr. Gr. F. Hampson obtained it in the " Nilgiris, from 2000 to 4000 feet elevation, 

 being rare on the Northern, not uncommon on the Southern Slopes. Comes freely 

 to sugar" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 356). Mr. H. S. Ferguson records it as "not 

 uncommon in Travancore " (Journ. Bombay N. H. S. 1891, 9).

Kallima Alompra, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1S79, p. 14, c? ? . de Niceville, Butt, of India, etc., ii. 

 p. 205 (1886). 



Male. Similar to dry-season form of K. Horsjieldii. Upperside. Forewing 

 with the blue band of somewhat darker tint ; discal spots minute. Underside 

 greenish-brown, or pale purpurescent-grey, with slightly darker olivescent fasciae, 

 prominent olive rib-line, and obscure ochreous-ringed discal ocelli. 



Female. Upperside paler than in male; the band on forewing also paler and 

 bluish-white ; discal spots minute. Underside ochreous, black speckled, with grey- 

 bordered darker olivescent-ochreous oblique fasciae, pale-edged olive rib-line and 

 obscure discal ocelli. 



Expanse, c? 3^^, ? 4 inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Note. — The only examples of this species known to us are t)ie type specimen 

 in our own possession, and the male and female in the Hewitsonian collection. 

 Each is labelled " Burma," but from what district, we, as yet, know not. From 

 the description above, it will be seen that it is totally distinct from A'. Knyvetti.
