G. coalita is very near to C. dilectus, Moore, and on the upperside 

 the males of these two species do not differ. On the underside, 

 however, the discal macular band of the forewing almost runs into 

 the submarginal band (it quite does so in the female) in C. coalita, 

 Taut is quite distinct and well- separated from it in C. dilectus. The 

 female of 0. coalita differs from that of C. dilectus — as identified by 

 me from Simla specimens — in the presence of a large pure white 

 discal area on the upperside of both wings glossed with metallic 

 pale blue; and the hindwing having the outer margin broadly 

 and regularly black, while in C. dilectus there is no trace of 

 such a band, but instead there is a submarginal lunulated black 

 line, beyond which is a series of round black spots, one in each 

 interspace. I trust that there will be no difficulty in recognising 

 this species ; it appears to be quite distinct. 



Described from two pairs captured by Mr. W. Doherty on Mount 

 Arjuno, Eastern Java, at an elevation of from 4,000 to 5,000 feet 

 above the sea.

Habitat : Celebes. 



Expanse : 6 , 1*0 to 1*8 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings pale purplish-blue, 

 with broad fuscous outer margins, the linear white markings of the 

 underside shewing through the wings faintly by transparency. 

 Forewing with the fuscous band on the outer margin bearing in its 

 middle an indistinct pale line. Hindwing with the fuscous band on 

 the outer margin bearing a double series of white lunules, those in 

 the first median interspace enclosing a deep black spot. Underside, 

 both wings pale stone-colour ; the outer margins bearing three whitish 

 lines, the ground-colour between them rather darker than the rest 

 of the wing, the middle line on both wings, and the inner line on 

 the hindwing, lunulated. Forewing with the characteristic white 

 lines or strigoe arranged as follows : — Nos. 1 and 2 from the base of 

 the wing parallel and continuous, commencing on the costal and 

 ending on the submedian nervure ; No. 3 is broken and curved,
