DescRIPTION: “MALE. UpPeRsIDe, doth wings brilliant blue. Forewing with the 
costal margin, the apex, and outer margin, black, the inner margin (under which there is 
a large tuft of dark brown hair) slightly projecting. AHimdwing with one [two] tail, the apex dark 
brown. UNDERSIDE, Jo/h wings grey-white, highly polished, crossed beyond the middle 
by an indistinct brown linear band, broken into spots onthe hindwing. Aindzwing with 
the spot near the base of the tail and the lobe black, crowned with orange.” (ewitson, 1 c.) 
FEMALE unknown. 
The specimen which Mr. Hewitson described and figured must have been mutilated, 
as C. cippus has two tails of about equal length. I have seen but six specimens of this 
beautiful species, four from Assam, two in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, obtained at Sib- 
sagar by Mr. S. E. Peal, and two in my own collection sent me from Jorehat by Mr. J. L. 
Sherwill, lastly two from Buxa, Bhutan, obtained by Mrs. Wylly. The highly-polished silvery 
underside of this species makes it very readily recognisable. Mr. Butler gives Ceylon as a 
habitat for it, which is almost certainly incorrect. Even Simla is doubtful ; I have never taken 
it there myself, nor have I seen a specimen from thence.
