LYCENIDA, CURETIS. 293 
 Ipossess a single male taken by Major C. H, E. Adamson at Bhamo, Upper Burma, 
in June, which agrees with the figure of this species in coloration and outline; I have other 
males from Sikkim and Bhutan which agree in outline but not in the extent or shade of the red 
on the upperside. I possess many females from Sikkim which agree in shape with the figure 
of this species, but are variable inthe amount of white on the upperside of both wings, and 
a single female from Masuri in the Western Himalayas, taken by Mr. P. W. Mackinnon in 
August, which is the locality from which C, azgulata was described, also one from the Centra} 
Provinces taken by Mr. J. A. Betham.

HaBiTaT: N.-W. Himalayas, Deyra Doon, N.-W, India (J/oo0re). 
EXPANSE: 1°62 inches. 
DESCRIPTION: “MALE. Forewing slightly concave, but not scalloped out on exterior 
margin. UPPERSIDE, red patch very broad, with a dentate black mark at the end of the cell, 
and its outer border sinuous. A7zudwing convex and slightly sinuous on its exterior margin, 
with the red broadly diffused ; outer border narrow ; the basal streak and abdominal border 
dusky black. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings with fuliginous-brown borders and white discal 
patch ; the dentate mark on the /orewzmg distinct.” 
“‘ Distinguished from C. d/zs, Doubleday and Hewitson, in the forewing not being 
falcate, and in the exterior margin of the hindwing not being angular in the middle.” 
(Moore, 1. c.) 
I possess a male specimen of this speeies named by Mr. Moore from Sikkim. It has 
the red area large, a prominent tooth of black given off from the black costal border and 
covering the disco-cellular nervules of the forewing ; the red area occupying all but the outer 
margin somewhat broadly, the abdominal margin and a broad streak from the base to the 
middle of the wing above the subcostal nervure of the hindwing, In my collection are 
numerous specimens of this form from Masuri and Mundi in the Western Himalayas, Sikkim, 
Assam, Burma, Pachmariin the Central Provinces, Orissa, and the Wynaad. By insensible 
gradations they pass into the highly angulated form, C. engulata, in one direction, and into 
the more rounded outline of C. 4z/zs, without the tooth in the forewing, in the other direction.

DESCRIPTION: “‘ MALE. UPPERSIDE, 40/2 wings dark glossy brown. Forewing with the 
apex acute, a large medial orange spot. Azxdwine with the anal angle acute, a large orange spot 
near the apex. UNDERSIDE, doth wzngs lustrous white, irrorated throughout with minute black 
dots ; crossed near the middle by a nearly straight ill-defined band slightly tinted with lilac, 
and bordered below by a waved black line, commencing mear the apex of the forewing and 
ending below the middle of the abdominal fold, sometimes continuous, sometimes broken where 
the wings meet; aline of minute black spots near the outer margin. Aindwing witha 
second very indistinct broken band beyond the middle. The male of 4A. [= C.] dulis very 
nearly resembles the dark females of A. thetys [= thetis] ; it may be always readily known from 
the numerous varieties of A. ¢hetys not only by the peculiar form of its wings, but also by the 
position of the transverse band of the underside, which is nearer the apex of the forewing, and 
crosses the hindwing at the end of the cell and in a line with the disco-cellular nervules.”
