live margiual lunnlos between anal angle and vt'iu 6, the posterior one ochraceous, 

 the others pale greenish bine, with a faint tint of yellow. Hindwing shaped as in 

 gicderiana, but shorter, and its strongly dentate outer margin mure rounded. 



Underside: broccoli-brown. Forewing with three bars in the cell, the second of 

 which is interrupted; the space between outer bar and the bar upon the discocellulai- 

 veinletas far down as vein 2 almost silvery white: disc with tlie usual black bars: 

 two inner ones between veins 1 and 3, the upper of the two straight, just behind the 

 origin of vein 3; a series of six outer ones, the first two of them between veins r. 

 and T, standing 4 mm. from the apex of the cell, the next IJ mm. from the cell: 

 outside this scries of bars the grnuud-colour of the wing silvery white. Outer region 

 of the wing with a broad silvery band, inwardly l)ordered by spots, which correspond 

 to the outer series of spots of the upperside; the posterior spots are bluish and 

 basally joined to black Innules: the two bluish spots in the submedian interspace 

 are, moreover, joined dutwardly to two ratlier large black spots. The whitish 

 band extends to outer margin between vein 7 and costal margin, while between 

 veins 7 and 1 it is separated from the outer margin by a broccoli-brown marginal 

 border, which becomes narrower behind. 



Hindwing has two well-marked silvery white bands, a subbasal one, bordered 

 outwardly by four lilack bars, which are Cdutinuous and form a nearly straight 

 line between costal margin and submedian fold, and inwardly by the praecostal vein 

 and a black bar in the cell. The second white band runs across the disc to 

 abdominal margin ; it is basally bordered by an almost continuous series of black 

 bars, the series being interrupted beyond vein 2. A black bar at the apex of the 

 cell. Outer half of wing marked as in etlirorU's and allies with a series of post- 

 discal black lunules, to which are joined outwardly olive and reddish brown 

 markings, the latter almost black beyond vein 2. A submarginal series of blue 

 dots, the anterior ones of which are obsolete, is followed by four maroon-red 

 marginal lunules between veins 4 and s, and by diffused yellowish olive buff 

 margmal spots between vein 4 and anal angle. 



Expanse : forewing, length 31 mm., breadth 22 mm.

Allied to Ch. th>ji<i Capr. from the Congo, liut easily distinguishable by the 

 silvery bauds of the underside.

i ?. Differs from Ch. i»irrh>is jn^nter Butl. from New Guinea, to which form 

 oii)yrrhus it is closely allied, in the spot near the apex of the cell of the forewing 

 above being three or four times the size as in jzipiter and touching the discal spots 

 which are situated between veins 3 and 4, and in the median band of the hindwing 

 above being much narrower. On the underside the black discal bar between veins 3 

 and 4 stands much closer to the cell than in y/^^Z/cr, being continuous with the sliort 

 bar bevond the apex of the cell between veins 4 and 5.
