the outer edge. Hind wings triangular, slightly produced toward the inner angle; the apex 

 well rounded; the outer edge full and convex; the inner edge nearly straight. Abdomen of 

 the 6* not extending much beyond the middle of the inner edge. 



Markings: Ground color dull yellow ochre, more or less tinged with lilac brown. No 

 ocelli, but on the fore wings are two or three small irregular or round clear spots. 



On the hind wings a minute dark solid discal dot. An extradiscal line common to both 

 wings ; a basal line on the fore wings, and on the hinder pair a submarginal scalloped line. The 

 species of a little less than median size. 



Geographical distribution. — Northeastern India, Khasia Hills; Java: Burmah (Swinhoe). 

 [Jordan in his revision of the .genus (Nov. Zool., 1909) recognizes the following forms: 

 C. andrei Jordan. Sikkim, Bhutan, and Assam. 



subsp. elaezia Jordan. Java. 

 C. trifenestrata (Heifer). Assam to Java, Borneo, etc. (syn. burmana Swinh.). 

 subsp. ceylonica Jordan. Ceylon, 

 subsp. agoia Jordan. Travancore. 

 subsp. luzonica Jordan. Northern Luzon, 

 subsp. andamanica Jordan. Andamans. 

 C. drepanoides Moore. Sikkim and Bhutan. 

 Watson (1912) adds 0. andrei var. vinosa Watson ( 9 ). 



C. zuleika (Westw.) was described in Saturnia, and the name is preoccupied. It was 

 based on male andrei and male trifenestrata, the latter being regarded as the female.]

Imago. — Two 6" , two 9 . Body and wings tawny or dull yellow ochre, often with a slight 

 grayish or frosty and lilaceous tints. Head, antennae, and palpi concolorous with the body. 

 Fore wings with a brown zigzag line divided into four scallops. Extradiscal line brown, oblique, 

 distinct, but not wavy in its course, and ending in the costa near the apex. Besides the small 

 half-round transparent discal spot, there are two in front which are solid, opaque and dark in 

 the o* , with a tendency to become obsolete, but in 9 there are three larger transparent 

 ones only separated by the veins, and arranged in a slightly curved line. 



Hind wings with a distinct straight basal line, and an outer submarginal diffuse zigzag 

 line situated a little nearer the outer edge of the wing than the basal line. A single half-round 

 discal spot in 9 , of the same size as on the fore wing, or reduced in the J to a dark dot. 



Under side of the wings of the 6" lighter than above, with the extradiscal line pale grayish, 

 and scalloped on each pair of wings; the discal and other spots as above. 



The 9 differs from the 6" in being darker beneath as well as above, and the thorax is 

 deeper ochreous. 



Tho species may be recognized by the row of three transparent spots, of which the discal 

 one is the lowest, the oblique strong extradiscal brown band ending in the costa very near the 

 apex.
