Bab. The type is in my collection from Ekeikei, where it was taken in March ; 

 other specimens from the Kebea Range, July. 



This species is a close ally to C. elaina Swinhoe, which we have from the 

 same localities ; but the dull lilac-colour and the marked whitish costa will easily 

 difterentiate them.
