KALLIMA. 397 



I am unable to find any constant difference between the various 

 forms that have been considered distinct and received specific 

 names. K. hugelii, the supposed pale form from Kashmir and the 

 N.W. Himalayas, can be matched by just as pale a form from 

 Darjeeling, while the dark and richly-coloured K. limborgii, Moore, 

 from Tenasserim, does not equal in depth and richness of colouring 

 some specimens of K. incichus from Sikhim. So far as I can make 

 out, all the characters relied on for the separation of the various 

 named forms are eminently variable.

Dry -season form. — <5 2- Upperside indigo-blue. Fore wing with 

 a broad, oblique, slightly curved, sinuous-edged, pale blue band, 

 turning to white on the anterior half ; the distance measured on the 

 costa of the outer edge of this band greater than half the length 

 of the wing from the base ; its inner margin bordered by short, 

 obliquely-placed, detached linear black markings; apical area beyond 

 the band jet-black, with a preapical white spot ; medial hyaline 

 spots, the lower varying in size, in interspaces 2 and 3. Hind wing 

 uniform, the costa and apex broadly and the abdominal fold brown ; 

 vein 1 with long soft greyish-brown hairs along its length, extending 

 also over the abdominal fold. Fore and hind wings as in K. inaclms, 

 with a dark brown subterminal zigzag line, commencing below 

 vein 3 on the fore wing. Underside as in K. inachus, simulating a 

 dry leaf, but the resemblance on the wmole is perhaps less perfect. 

 Antennae dark brown ; head, thorax and abdomen very dark 

 greenish brown ; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen ochraceous 

 earthy brown. 



Wet-season form. — $ 2 . Similar. Differs in the colour of the 

 discal band on the upperside of the fore wing ; this is of a uniform 

 pale blue of a slightly lighter or darker shade, varying individually, 

 but not turning to white towards the costal margin as in the dry- 

 season specimens. Underside: ground-colour on the whole darker 

 than in the dry-season form, but with the same protective colouring. 



Exp. <S 2 84-120 mm. (3-32-4-75"). 



Hab. ? Himalayas {Kollar) ; "W. and S. India, from Bombay 

 southwards ; Ceylon ; Burma ; Tenasserim.
