Male. Wiugs above reddisb-ochraceoiis, both wings with a lnoad outer marginal l)lackish fascia, 

 which on anterior wings is recurved and broadest at apical angle, these blackish areas possess two indistinct 

 narrow dark submarginal fascia3 and that on posterior wiugs is either preceded or inwardly margined 

 bj' a series of black spots placed between the nervules ; a very narrow and non-continuous blackish fascia 

 also crosses the posterior wings a little bej'ond cell, which at costal margin has an adjacent greyish spot. 

 Wings beneath much paler, crossed by a greyish fascia, as in preceding species, which is margined with 

 reddish ochraceous, and bej-ond which their area is distinctly darker and somewhat tinged with violaceous, 

 containing the narrow submarginal fasciae as in C. fnitcUitu ,- the anterior wings have a greyish subapical 

 spot, and the cell centrally crossed by a sinuated dull reddish line, which is continued beneath the median 

 nervure, the lower disco-cellular nervule being similarly coloured ; the posterior wings have the black spots 

 margined with reddish, and the cell crossed by a sinuated dull reddish line, which extends from near the 

 costal margin to near the submedian nervure. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings ; the 

 femora, sternum, and abdomen beneath greyish. 



Female. Difiers from the male above by having distinct traces of a central broad yellowish fascia on 

 the anterior wings ; the posterior wiugs having the outer black area narrower, leaving the two narrow 

 waved fascise very distinct, the spots thereby appearing further removed. 



Esp. wings, ^ and 2 , 63 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Singapore (Brit. Mus.) — Sumatra (Forbes— coll. Dist.) — Java (Wallace). 



The principal variation iu the forms of this species appears to consist in the breadth 

 of the outer black margin to the posterior wings, and the thereby sometime consequent 

 assimihition or fusion of the black spots.

Male. Wings above reddish-ochraceous. Anterior wings, with the costa, a narrow transverse fascia 

 near end of cell, and the outer margin — very broad at apex — black ; beyond the cell the colour is somewhat 

 paler, giving the appearance of a broad transverse fascia ; and a small ochraceous subapical spot. Posterior 

 wings with the outer area from end of cell paler, its inner area marked on each side of the submedian 

 nervure with a lunate black linear sjjot, and by a similar spot above the upper subcostal nervule ; aa 

 iiTegular series of small black spots placed between the nervules (absent between the fii-st median and the 

 discoidal nervules), and three waved submarginal black fasciae, the outer one more or less fused with the dark 

 outer margin. Wings beneath paler in hue. Anterior wings with the cell crossed by two linear darker fasciae, 

 one at its termination, the other beyond centre and extending beneath the median nervure ; a somewhat 

 violaceous area crossing wing beyond cell, broad at costa and very narrow and attenuated at inner margin ; 

 apes obscurely infuscated, and containing two subapical greyish white spots and a marginal waved fascia, 

 the edges of which are distinctly pale fuscous ; beneath the third median nervule and in front of the pale 

 fascia is an irregularly formed fuscous spot. Posterior wings crossed by a narrow and very pale violaceous 

 fascia, which is distinctly narrowed and attenuated between the upper subcostal and the discoidal nervules ;
