<?. Body above olive drab, head and pronotum nearly walnnt brown, abdomen 

 drab colour ; white dots on head and line behind eye conspicnous ; underside 

 creamy white, with brown oblique streaks on breast underneath femora, anterior 

 tibia brown in front. 



Wi7igs aboee olive black, bistre colour towards base ; markings white. 



Forewing : elongate as in Ck. fahius faiius ; cell mostly with an obscure spot 

 in upper angle ; a discal band of four patches from R' to internal margin, oblique, 

 patch M^— S^P 5 mm. broad at SM-, patches R=— M^ mostly somewhat narrower, 

 separated, conve.x proximally, somewhat concave distally, especially patch R^— M', 

 this band jjreceded by three discal sjwts ; spot R-— R' close to cell, small, the 

 other two, S0°— R^ at about ^ the way from cell to apex of wing; an oblique 

 postdiscal series of spots from SC^ to IVP, decreasing in size posticad, the upper one 

 U to 2i mm. wide, spots R'— M^ close to discal patches, with which they are 

 sometimes completely fused ; a series of admarginal elongate dots from SC— SM^ 

 standing upon the iuternervular folds, the s])ots of about the same size throughout. 



Hindwing ; a discal band from costal margin to abdominal fold as prolongation 



of the band of the forewing, 4| mm. broad at SC^ generally widened basad in cell, 

 its outer edge nearly straight, crossing M at, or a little beyond, origin of M' ; a 

 complete series of snbmarginal dots, all prominent, more or less heavily shaded 

 with glaucous blue : admarginal spots linear, glaucous blue, somewhat white at 

 veins as a rule, extending into tails, spots IV— W thin, SC-— R^ absent or vestigial, 

 C— SC- absent, anal one more or less yellow, wing suddenly widened from R- to SM-, 

 hence the admarginal and snbmarginal series of spots broken at R- (which is 

 especially evident on underside) ; abdominal fold grey in middle, especially near 

 SM^ with an ill-defined white patch before anal angle. 



Underside : greyish white, variegated with drab colour ; basal to median bars 

 rnfous chestnut, edged with black, except thin bars SC^'—SM' of hindwing, which 

 have the black edges seldom vestigial. Forewing : basal cell-spot present, cell- 

 bar 3 represented by a spot behind SC, bar 4 very oblique, curved costad, somewhat 

 comma-shaped, but of nearly the same thickness throughout, closer to M- than M' ; 

 bar D somewhat dilated costally ; snbmedian and median bars about at right angles 

 to veins, interspaces M'— (SM') of about the same width, bars M'— M= more distal
