S ? . Similar to Ck. epijasius. Body and wiugs above more brown. 



Wings, upperside. Forewing : basal half of costal margin russet tawny like 



head and pronotnm ; black bars vestigial, in side-liglit the interspaces appearing 

 paler than the bars ; postdiscal iuteistitial spots orange, the series almost, straight, 

 slightly curving costad anteriorly, nearer onter edge in front than behind, npper 

 spots largest, spot SC^— SC^ of about the same size as the respective admargiual 

 spot, often somewhat smaller or larger, spots R^— SM^ transverse, posterior ones 

 often obsolete ; admarginal interstitial band as in ^yZ/a^Vs, deeper in colour, orange. 



Hindwing : discal band represented by a white patch at costal margin, the 



patch much shaded with brown, often vestigial down to R-, generally with one to 

 three tawny patches or spots at outside ; admarginal band of interspaces rather 

 variable in width, the npper patches sometimes not longer than broad, while in 

 other individuals they are as long as in epijasius, orange, posterior ones paler, distaliy 

 shaded with greenish buff, anal one greenish buff ; black marginal line heavier 

 than in epijasius, its breadth measuring between R' and R- often more than half 

 the length of patch R'— R-, but generally only one-third the length of this patch ; a 

 series of pale blue submarginal dots from R'— SM-, spots SC- — R' sometimes 

 vestigial. 



Unilcrsic/e as in epijasius, basal area brighter ferruginous red, jiostdisral iuid 

 admarginal interstitial patches of forewing deep orange, olive black median bars of
