EHAPHICEEA . — CALL AEGE.

median interspaces ; submarginal line distinct towards inner angle only. Secondaries with 
some oblique and transverse streaks on the basal area, and some spots and dashes on the 
central area ; there are some indications of submarginal ocelli, and an interrupted deep fulvous 
line on the outer margin extending from third median nervulc to submedian nervure. Fringes 
white, chequered with brown at the end of nervules. Under surface as above, but the markings 
are broader and paler on all the wings : primaries have three ocelloid spots towards apex, and 
a large black spot in first median interspace ; secondaries have a submarginal series of spots 
deeper in colour than the patches upon which they are placed, each spot ringed with black, 
the first broadly so ; there is a tawny marginal baud on all the wings, widening out on the 
secondaries towards anal angle. 
Female. The pale fulvous markings of upper surface are rather broader, and the submarginal line 
is better defined on all the wings. 
Expanse, <S 56-66 millim., $ 57-64 millim. 
I agree with M. Oberthiir in considering that this species belongs to 
Ehaphicera, and have accordingly placed it in that genus. 
Generally distributed and common in Western China ; it also occurs in 
Chang-yang in Central China. 
Genus CALLAKGE, gen. nov. 
Primaries with the costal margin slightly convex, apex rounded ; outer margin inwardly oblique in 
the male, rather rounder in the female ; inner margin straight : secondaries elongate ovate. 
Neuration as in Melanargia, but the discoidal cell of primaries is narrower in proportion to 
its length, the first median nervule is curved upwards, and the subcostal nervure is nearer the 
costa; on the secondaries the discocellulars form an outwardly oblique line, and the third 
median nervule is sharply curved downwards. Palpi porrected, clothed with long hairs ; 
terminal joint downy, of moderate length, and partly hidden by the hairs of the second 
joint. 
Antennae half the length of costal margin, terminating in a long, gradually thickened club, which 
at its stoutest part is not twice the thickness of the main shaft. 
Eyes naked. 
Type C. sagitta. 
Callarge sagitta. (Plate xil. fig. l, 6 .) 
Zethera sagitta, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii, p. 26 (1890). 
Creamy white ; neuration, apex, and margins of primaries black ; some black scales along the 
upper portion of discoidal cell, which is partially divided by a black bar across its centre, a 
black wavy submarginal band extending to the second median branch, and a zigzag black 
line before the outer margin : secondaries have the submedian and median nerve and branch 
broadly black, but the other nerves are only narrow, a black zigzag line on the outer margin 
forms a series of arrow-heads, of which the veins represent the shafts. On the under surface 
the colour is rather more yellow, and the venation, except median and branches, narrowly 
blackish, the lines of the upper surface only faintly reproduced. 
Expanse 78-90 millim.
