anal angle [of the Azd@wng] crowned with orange, the space between the said spots brown

“This species, though closely allied to 7. [= Dacalana] vidura, Horsfield, differs from it 
in many respects. It has, though a male, all the appearance of a female in colour, and is without 
the tuft of white hair on the upperside of the forewing. On the underside it has the white 
band much broader.” (Hezwitson, 1. c.) The white band is not so broad as in Javan specimens 
of the true D. vidura. ; 
FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, both wings of a paler and less shining blue than in the male. 
Forewing with the costa and outer margin more broadly black, a white spot at the end 
of the cell, extending to the first median nervule. Aindwing with the costal margin more 
broadly black, the veins also black, and a series of submarginal black spots between the 
veins ; a large prominent white spot on the middle of the costal margin. UNDERSIDE as 
in the male, except that the broad white discal band of the forewing, owing to the absence 
of the shining pale space on the inner margin in the male, is continued widely on to the 
margin, 
A rare species in Sikkim, obtained once only in fair numbers by Mr. Otto Moller ; and the 
Rev. Walter A. Hamilton has obtained it in Sylhet. It cannot belong to the genus Dacalana 
in which it has been recently placed by Mr. Moore, as it has only three subcostal nervules to the 
forewing instead of four, and the male does not possess the tuft of white hairs on the upperside 
of the forewing which is such an anomalous feature of D. vidura, Horsfield. C. cotys is nearly 
allied to the * Jolaus” anysis of Hewitson* from Macassar, but that species has the male 
tuft of hairs on the underside of the forewing black instead of dark brown, and the outer 
black border on the upperside of the forewing in the male is fully twice as broad. On 
bleaching a male specimen of C. cofys, I find that the grandular patch of scales on the upper- 
side of the hindwing is placed in a different position to the patch in C. c/eodis, Godart, and in 
C. deva, Moore; instead of occupying the triangular area formed by the bases of the sub- 
costal nervules, and more or less extending beyond it, the greater portion of the patch ts 
placed in the subcostal interspace above the point where the subcostal nervules originate,

DESCRIPTION : “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, forewzng with the discoidal cell and the posterior 
base to posterior angle brilliant light sky-blue, rest of wing dark brown. indwing brilliant 
light sky-blue, with brown e¢é/ja, abdominal margin cream-colour. UNDERSIDE, doth wings 
light creamy-brown, with a well-defined narrow unduiating band of reddish-brown crossing 
the wings, terminating abdominally in a zig-zag manner on the hindwing; near exterior 
margins an indistinct line ; near anal angle [of Azxzdw7ng] two black spots, bordered anteriorly 
with red, and posteriorly with powdered white. Tails black tipped with white.” (JZoore, 1. c.) 
FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings differ from those of the male in their pale duller blue color- 
ation, that colour being more extensive onthe forewing. Azndwzng with the costa broadly 
black, the outer margin bearing a series of black spots. UNDERSIDE, oth w7mgs as in the male. 
‘* Variety male. With the spots near the anal angle on the underside of the hindwing 
entirely orange, without the black spots.” (/Zewitson, 1. c.) 
C. cleobis in the male is a somewhat variable species, the shade of blue in some Bholahat 
specimens being almost as light as in the female ; it is very dark and rich in a single unusually 
large specimen sent me from the Nilgiris by Mr. G. F. Hampson. It is probable that the range 
of this species is very imperfectly known. Mr. P. W. Mackinnon has taken it at Masuri in
