Female. Upperside. Both wings bhic-black suffused \Yith purple, with a 

 broad row of white spots ; the row on anterior wings consists of six spots, 

 forming a curve across the middle of the disk to near the posterior angle, where 

 there is a narrow white line on the inner margin, the first three spots elongated, 

 the others nearly square, all somewhat emarginate outwardly. The six white 

 spots forming the row on posterior wings are subniarginate, quadrate, and 

 emarginate externally, and slightly so internally ; a rather narrow white line 

 above the anal angle ; the basal half of the costal margin broadly pale reddish- 

 brown, outer margins of both wings narrowly white between the veins. 



Underside. Basal half of both wings bright rufous, outer half dull 

 brownish-grey. Anterior wdngs with two black spots near the subcostal nervure 

 towards the base, beyond which are two bars nearly crossing the cell from the 

 subcostal nervure, followed at the end and beyond the cell by a large black patch 

 traversed by two irregular grey lines, one on each side of the discocellular 

 nervules, a round black spot between the middle and lowest median nervules, 

 and indications of other spots in the red area ; the outer half is crossed by the 

 row of white spots as on the upperside, but larger and more emarginate. 

 Posterior wings with two or three spots at the base, and a double row of some- 

 what irregular black bars from near the base on the costal to the inner margin 

 a little before the middle ; the bars below the cell margined, as to the upper 

 row internally, and as to the lower row externally, with light greyish-brown, 

 two irregular rows of bars and spots across the disk, one before the other, beyond 

 the middle, the latter being situated close to the inner edge of the row of white 

 spots, which are sharply emarginate externally ; outer margins of both wings 

 white between the veins.

In the Collection of H. Grose Smith. 



Nearest to C. Obscura, Guerin, but differs in colour as well as in the much greater size of the 

 rows of white spots on both wings, and the shape of the wings is rounder.
