•JA mm. at SM'. a series of ver}- thin, often obsolete, postdiscal bars, close to 

 marginal band, mnmmy brown ; postdiscal interspaces not separated, submarginal 



ones thin, upper two enlarged, marginal band 1 to lA mm. broad. Hindwiag : 



bands nearly as iu zoolina, vein M' outside the median band and veins M', SM', 

 SIP not streaked brown, no white spots in median band ; discal band straight, 

 postdiscal bars thin, straight, joined to the discal band at veins, thus isolating thin 

 white or buffish postdiscal Innules : white admarginal interspaces SC- — R' about 

 as wide as, or wider than, disco-postdiscal band, spot R' — M' smaller, the others 

 minute and pale blue or bluish white ; submarginal bars SC^ — R^ very thin, often 

 obsolete, bars W — 8M'- black, joined to the black postdiscal bars ; upper admarginal 

 interspaces white, interspaces R^ — M- obsolete, or ocliraceons, anal interspace 

 ochraceous ; outer margin very slightly sinuate between upper veins, concave 

 between R^ and ]VP, with a short tooth at R^ anal angle less obtuse than in zoolina, 

 tail rather slenderer. 



.? . Larger than r^, wings broader; white postdiscal interspaces of forewing 

 above and below, and submarginal interspaces of hindwiug larger ; with two tails 

 as in ? zoolina. 



Length of forewing : 6, 28 — 32 mm. 

 S,34mm. 



Sexual organs resembling those of Cli. zoolina.

S ? . Allied to Ch. tieanthes and zoolina. Body abore more or less white. - 



Wings aboce, basal half of forewing and three-fourths of hindwiug white with a 

 greenish yellow tint, nearly as in ? Ch. neanthes betanimena, then ochraceous to 



tawny. Forewing : outer margin angled at S(l* ; disco-marginal area tawny ; 



medio-discal area and costal margin ochraceous ; median bars SC^ — R^ and bar D 



absent ; postdiscal interstitial spots SC=— SM- marked. Hindwing : discal series 



of bars closer to margin than in neanthes, more regular, much less concave between 

 SC- and R^ bar C— S(.;- absent. 



Underside as in neanthes, paler in ? than in (?,but median band forming a 

 very obtuse angle at base of M-, the angle pointing basad, and fused posteriorly 

 with a brown streak of the width of the band situated upon (SM') and extending 

 down to base ; outer margin evenly rounded, no distinct tooth at R^ tail as in 

 neanthes.
