more irregular on its inner edge than in C. Turneri, is an indistinct narrow 

 fuscous band, interrupted by the veins, outside which is a row of indistinct 

 fulvous lunules centred with dark brown spots, between which and the margin 

 is a fuscous band centred with lunular bars of a lighter shade, 



Undeeside, paler than above, the pale bands on both wings being very 

 clearly defined on the inner side by an irregular fulvous line, in a somewhat 

 oblique direction from near the centre of the costa to the submedian nervure, and 

 on the posterior wings from the costa to near the anal angle. The area between 

 this line and the base on both wings is considerably darker than the i^ale band. 

 The outer third of the wings beyond the pale band is crossed with a row of dark 

 brovm spots as in C. Tiinicri, surrounded with bright fulvous, on each side of 

 which is an indistinct row of fuscous markings, a submarginal row of indistinct 

 pale lunules with fuscous bars at their base. The outer third of both wings is 

 scarcely tinged with violaceous. On the posterior wings the pale band is con- 

 siderably restricted, the row of spots across the outer third is crowned with pale 

 lunules which are less arcuate than in C. Tunicri, and the pale lunules beyond 

 the spots are rather more arcuate. The female resembles the male.

 It is near C. Turneri, but smaller, and the rufous-brown basal area is much more extended 

 on both wings, and its outer edge on the underside is more clearly defined.

jMale. Upperside. Both wings dusky brown. Anterior wings crossed 

 from about the middle of the costa to the outer angle by a very broad oblique 

 fulvous band, becoming paler towards the costa, the inner edge of the band is 

 irregular, but less so than in C. Erijmanthis, Drury, being but slightly invaded 

 by the dark ground-colour below the uppermost median nervule ; on either side 

 of the lowest median nervule are two dark patches, the lower of which is 

 bordered inwardly by another obscure, rather paler, patch. The fulvous band 

 does not quite reach the inner margin, and at the anal angle is crossed by a 

 submarginal brown line ; the cell is crossed towards its end by an indistinct 

 fulvous streak, and the apical third is darker than the basal third. Posterior 

 wings with the disc crossed by a row of obscure dark brown spots, surrounded
