D. mirabilis Rothsch. (62 c) is similar to the preceding species in the colouring, but the margin of the mirabilis . 
forewing is more indented; besides recognizable by the lobe of the hindwing near the apex. North India; rare. 
D. olivacea Rothsch. From Borneo; apparently extremely rare. Shape like that of mirabilis , but the olivacca. 
costal margin of the hindwing is here straight as far as beyond the middle, whereas in mirabilis it is sinuate. 
Colouring of forewing greenish brownish grey. 
33. Genus: Callamlmlyx R. & J. 
Recognizable by the green forewing mostly beautifully contrasting with the purple colour of the 
hindwing. For further particulars cf. Vol. II, p. 243. 
C. rubricosa Wkr. (= superba Mr.) (62 b as rubiginosa). Forewing dark blue-green, covered with rubricosa. 
brownish, sometimes with a very brown tint. Hindwing beautifully purple pink, with a dark submarginal 
shadow-like band; anal-angular area and interior margin broad yellowish-grey. Sikkim and Assam. The 
Javanese form, piepersl Sn., which is still rarer than the North-Indian, differs in the central dot of the forewing piepersi. 
being very feebly marked, the hindwing showing more black and the under surface being more yellow than 
in the typical form. - In anianda R. & J. the lines on the yellow under surface are brown, whilst in the North- amanda. 
Indian specimens they are red. Besides the brown oblique stripe of the forewing is distinctly angular on the 
2nd median branch; from Malacca and Borneo (Kinabalu). 
C. Junonia Btlr. (56 Ce) is quite similar to rubricosa , but the hindwing exhibits an ocellate marking junonia. 
as in Smer. ocellatus. From the Himalaya (Bhutan) and the Naga Hills; apparently very rare. 
C. poecilus Rothsch. represents the palaearctic tatarinovi (Vol. II, pi. 38 b) in Murri in North-West poecilus. 
India, thus on the palaearctic frontier; it differs from that species only in the forewing being more falcate and 
the base showing a red tint instead of green; the red colour of the hindwing does not extend so far to the margin, 
but the whole distal half of the hindwing is darkened brown. Little known. Larva probably on elms. 
34. Genus: Anamlml t yx R. & J. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the straight costa of the hindwing, the shorter frenulum, the 
absence of the retinaculum, and the absence of the anterior pair of spurs on the hind tibiae. Only 1 North- 
Indian species. 
A. elwesi Drc. (62 b) looks like a blackened, small Call, rubricosa. Particularly distinct nebulous spots elwesi. 
near the base of the forewing. From Sikkim and the Khasia Hills in Assam; rare. 
35. Genus: SmerSniliu.s Latr. 
The species has been so minutely described in Vol. II, p. 244 that there remains but little to add. The 
six species known belong to the northern hemisphere and hardly penetrate into the Indian region of which not 
any species is characteristic. 
S. planus Wkr. (= argus Men.) (Vol. II, pi. 38 e) which represents the European ocellatus in East Asia, planus. 
is the only species penetrating farther into the Indo-Australian region. It crosses the frontier in China, where 
the spring-form distinctus Cllc. is apparently confined to Ivwang-tung, whilst to the west it is replaced by the distinctus. 
form jiinnanus Clk. In the former the light areas of both wings above and beneath are duller, the dark places jiinnanus. 
are more olive. In the latter the light costal stripe of the forewing beneath is faded. - The name kuangtutfgensis kuangtun- 
C'lJc. refers to the summer generation in North Kwang-tung in which province the insects may wander as far gensis. 
i as Kanton in cool summers, whereas in Hongkong I could not discover them, kuangtungensis is described to 
exhibit the light areas on the forewing of a tan-coloured yellow with a claret-coloured tinge, whereas the dark 
areas of the forewing are sepia-brown. — meridionalis Closs denotes an inbred form. — From typical planus 
which is very common in Shantung, the spring-form has been separated as clarissima Mell ; but it does not 
belong any more to the Indo-Australian fauna. 
36. Genus: Pliyllospliingia Swh. 
This genus which is very similar to the North-American Cressonia juglandis Abb. 6s 8m., but also 
closely allied with Amorpha, has been described at large in Vol. II, p. 246. The only species, Ph. dissimilis, 
is chiefly palaearctic. 
Ph. dissimilis Erem. probably does not occur in the Indian region in typical specimens (Vol. II, pi. 39 b). 
The only species, which was found near Kiukiang at the frontier between the palaearctic and Indian regions, 
already shows the rosy-red tint of South-Chinese specimens; this is the form sinensis Jord. — perundulans Swh. perundu- 
lans.
