hazel colour, abdomen white, with a rather narrow brown median line, ventral edge 

 of pal])i brown. 



(?. Wififfs similar in jiattern and shajje to those of CA. pelias saturnus. 



Vpperside brownish black, pnrplish, basal area rnsset or sepia colour, discal 



band, postdiscal and admarginal spots maize yellow. Forewing : cell-bar 3 



vestigial, 4 mostl}' large and fused with bar D and the series of median bars, the 

 rnsset or sepia colour stopi)ing midway between M- and M' ; median bars JP — S]VP 

 ill-defined proximally, continuous, bar R' — M' about 3 mm. more distal, continuous 

 with bar R^ — R^, bars SC — R- again about 4 mm. more distal, also fused together, 

 the whole area between these median bars and cell-bar 4 more or less uniformly 

 black, the jiroximal limits of the median bars SC'' — 51' being generally vestigial 

 only in side-light ; on account of the position of the median bars the yellow discal 

 band consists of three portions, which are again divided by the veins, last 

 portion about (3 mm. broad, portion R' — M' 4 mm., jiortion S(''^ — R' (sometimes 

 with a streak before SC*) 3 mm. broad and scarcely toucliing portion H' — M', 

 concave pro.ximally ; the discal bars SC — M' are fused together and joined along 

 veins to postdisco-marginal area, hence the yellow postdiscal interspaces reduced to 

 a series of spots of which spots R' — M' are minute or just traceable, while spot 

 SC!' — >SC^ is 2 to 4 mm. long and H to 2 mm. broad ; marginal sjwts, especially the 



middle ones, less extending proximad than in pelias. Hindwing : discal band 



extending to M-, somewhat narrowing behind, basal area shaded at band with maize 

 yellow scales, median bar C — SC^ visible ; abdominal fold grey, brown median bars 

 M- — SRP often vestigial, sejsarating a triangular patch near anal angle from rest of 

 abdominal fold, outer edge of band slightly concave from C to R^, often rounded- 

 sinuate between R^ and M', M' and M-, crossing R at bent of this vein and M' 

 4 to 5 mm. from its base ; 3 to 5 blue snbmarginal spots, last two fused together ; 

 series of admarginal, maize yellow, interspaces complete, the interspaces separated, 

 about as thick as the black marginal line, transverse, anal one greenish. 



Underside hazel, much less bright red than in Ch. pelias, postdiscal band of 

 interstitial patches of about the same colour as the basal area, discal band cream}', 



bars in basal area as in Ck. pelias saturnus. Forewing : olive black, discal spots 



SC'* — IVP as in saturnus, jiostdiscal interstitial patches gradually smaller towards 

 SC"*, the upper patches not larger than the respective black discal spots, the white 

 interspaces at their proximal side abont as large as those patches, much larger than 

 in Ck. pelias ; black jjostdiscal spots as in saturnus ; marginal intersjiaces creamy 



white at edge of wing. Hindwing : median bars rather heavier than submedian 



ones, submedian longitudinal liar M- — (>S5r) joined to short median bar M" — 

 (SM') ; discal bar R- — R^ heavy, discal bur M'— M- present as a thin line ; no 

 red brown patch before at outer side of costal median bar ; postdiscal hazel- 

 coloured band narrower than in saturnus, the grey angles less conspicuous ; 

 jiostdiscal black bars C — R- represented by longitudinal spots ; nearly all the blue 

 snbmarginal dots marked ; admarginal intersj)aces as wide as in ordinary saturnus, 

 creamy white, greenish buff ))roximally, n]iper ones somewhat ochraceons, anal one 

 greenish buff; dentition of wing as in C/(. pelias saturnus, upper tail 5 to (i mm. 

 long, second 8 to 9 mm. 



? . Like i, larger, postdiscal interstitial spots R' — M- of the upperside of the 

 forewing larger ; njijier tail 11 mm., second 12 mm. 

 Length of forewing : i, 41 — 43 mm. 

 „ „ ? , 50 mm.
