EREBIA.— CALLEREBIA. 101 
Apparently a scarce species. I have four specimens from Ta-chien-lu and 
two from Wa-slian ; all were taken in July. All of these are of the male sex ; 
my collectors failed to meet with a female of the species. 
Erebia rurigena. (Plate IX. fig. 3, d .) 
Erehia rurigena, Leecli, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 187 (1890). 
Male. Dark brown, with a slight yellowish tinge in certain lights. Primaries hare a blackish 
cloud-like fascia from the inner margin to the centre of the wing ; the ocellus towards apex 
is large, conspicuonslj' ringed with pale fulvous, and the lower of the two white pupils is very 
faint or entirely absent. Under surface brown, dusted with ochreous along costal half of 
primaries : the ocellus is brighter than above, both pupils are well-defined, and it is followed 
by a reddish-brown cloud extending nearly to first median nervule : secondaries ochreous grey, 
clouded and dusted with darker scales, and traversed by a number of wavy brown lines, the 
most distinct of which are the two central and the submarginal ; preceding the submarginal 
line is a series of white points. Fringes pale grey-brown. 
Female. Paler in colour, the iris of apical ocellus is brighter, and the white pupils are larger ; the 
ocellus is placed in the upper portion of a pear-shaped patch, which is paler than the rest of 
the wing. 
Expanse, J 5(3-62 millim., § 56-00 millim. 
Allied to E. ruricola, Leech, but distinguished at once by the fulvous ring 
to ocellus. Two male specimens from Moupin have the ocellus only half the 
usual size. In a few examples there is no trace of white points before sub- 
marginal line on under surface of secondaries ; in others the central lines 
assume band-like proportions, and the submarginal line is not clearly defined. 
Eather a local species. I have specimens from Ta-chien-lu, Wa-shan, 
and Moupin. It flies in July. 
Genus CALLEREBIA. 
Callerebia, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (3) xx. p. 217 (18G7). 
" Very similar to Erehia ; differs in the form and markings of the wings, the anal angle of the 
hind wintj being frequently produced and lobe-shaped ; also in the more slender antennae less 
distinctly clavatc, and in the more angulate palpi. Otherwise as in Erehia." (Butler, 1. c.) 
Callerebia phyllis. (Plate IX. fig. 9.) 
Callerebia pliyllis, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 57 (June 1st, 1891). 
Mule. Allied to C. pratonim, Oberth., but the apical ocellus is oval and oblique, the white pupils 
are also placed obliquely, the lower one being nearer to the outer margin ; on the secondaries 
there is no anal ocellus : on the under surface the costa and outer margin of primaries are 
bordered with slaty grey ; the secondaries are of the same colour, with a darker central band,
