BUTTERFLIES FROM THE INDO-MALAYAN REGION. 379 



ones placed against the first median nervule, the posterior one 

 against the submedian nervure, the innermost spot somewhat round- 

 ed, placed a little beyond one-third of the length of the wing from 

 the base, the outermost spot narrow, placed inwardly obliquely some- 

 what near to the outer margin of the wing, the third spot co-equal 

 in size to the first, and placed half as near to the second spot as it is 

 to the first — all these spots lustrous semi-transparent white. Cilia 

 fuscous. Hindwing bearing eleven large rounded bright chrome-yellow 

 spots in three series, the upper of two, the middle of four, and the 

 lower of five ; the base and abdominal margin of the wing clothed with 

 long yellow seta). Cilia anteriorly -fuscous, posteriorly and along 

 the abdominal margin bright chrome-yellow. Underside, both ivings 

 with the ground-colour of a duller, more hair-brown shade. Fore- 

 icing with an obscure dull yellow streak at the base of the discoidal 

 cell ; the inner margin sharply bounded anteriorly by the submedian 

 nervure pale ochreous; the spots as above. Hindwing with the spots 

 as above but rather larger and of a duller shade of yellow ; some 

 short obscure dull yellow streaks at the base and along the abdominal 

 margin of the wing; an additional irrorated spot near the apex of 

 the wing. Antennce with the shaft and club anteriorly dull ochreous, 

 posteriorly fuscous. Thorax concolorous with the wings. Abdomen 

 narrowly but prominently striped with yellow. 



It is difficult to say to which species C. clitus is nearest allied, 

 though perhaps it exhibits a greater resemblance to C. flavocincta, de 

 Niceville, than to any other species. The disposition of the spots on 

 both wings is very distinctive, those on the f orewing being apparent- 

 ly scattered evenly over the entire surface, in the hindwing arranged 

 in regular rows. 



Described from a single example in Mr. H. J. Elwes' collection 

 obtained by Mr. W. Doherty in July or August, 1889, in the Naga 

 Hills, Assam, at an elevation of 5,000 — 8,000 feet.
