Besides there is one african s^iecies.

the most outerly row being wider and more distinct than the others. Orbicidar stigma as a black dot with white 
edge. Hindwings brown, greyer at base. Both wings with white marginal dots, that are smaller on hindwings.

38. Genus: Callig^rapliiclia 
Palpi erect, the second segment with appressed scales, the third ])ointed, thin, shorter. Al)domen with 
short wide tufts on the first two segments. Legs with appressed scales. Forewings wide, costa straight, some¬ 
what sinuate before apex. Outermargin excurved. Neuration normal. Both wings not sinuate at outer margin.

C. opulenta Msclilr. (32 c). Wings reddish brown with violaceous sheen. At Vpxl of costa a short white opulcnta. 
double streak, to which is adjoined the arched, fainter, doidjle antemedian line. Reniform' stigma almost rect¬ 
angular with white edge. From % of costa to of inner margin a white line extends, that is interrupted l)y 
the lower corner of the reniform stigma and which forms the outer branch of the antemedian line. Close behind 
this line on costa a second more boldly white line commences, that turns obliquely inwards, is arched, at vein 4 
near outer margin, narrowly on, incurved somewhat at vein 2, then undulate to %rds of inner margin. The 
interstice between these lines is darker fuscous. Sidjinarginal line narrow, white, dentate, interrupted by a 
bulge of the dark area. On hindwings a narrow white dentate median line is indicated, that is displaced out¬ 
wardly between vein 4 and 5. Posteriorly a fine, somewhat jDaler, dentate submarginal line. 42 mm. Gold

Palpi attenuate, erect, the third segment short. Forewings with jminted apex. Hindwings of 8* with 
veins 3—5 compressed, 6 and 7 somewhat separated. Only 1 species distributed from West Africa to Borneo. 
D. pangonia Gn. (32 d). Pale reddish brown with violet sheen to near postmedian line. In centre of cell pangonia. 
a black spot and 2 at disco-cellular. Postmedian line whitish, straight, darker inwardly. Marginal area some- 
wdiat violaceous inwardly. On costa before apex a large black spot with 2 smaller ones below. Distally of ])ost- 
median line whitish s])ots. On hincLvings, that are the same colour, the postmedian line is shorter than in indian 
specimens. 34 mm. West Africa. — sanctae E. Front. Forewings behind the postmedian line are inclined to sanctae. 
be flesh coloured and less violet. The subapical spot is without a white edge, the 2 small black sjDots below are 
absent. On hindwings the postmedian line commences as far i3osteriorly as in the other west african specimens.

Forewings grey-brown with 3 dark spots on costa, one at base, edged on both sides by grey. The lines at the 
edges extend to cell. The second spot above the end of the cell, somewhat triangular, outwardly vertically

has 2 white dots. Centre of outer margin is dark brown. Hindwings dark brown, paler at base. (J mm. West
