and the outer margin broadly rufous. The females of both species may be distinguished by 
the markings of the underside, which agree with those of their respective males. 
Males of C. othona occur commonly in Sikkim in March, July, and October ; the female 
is very rare; I have only seen males from the Andamans, which agree absolutely with 
continental specimens. Mr. E. H. Aitken has sent me a single male from North Canara 
in the Bombay Presidency, a most unexpected locality for the occurrence of this species. 
Major C, A. R. Sage has reared it from a larva found feeding on an orchid hanging in the 
verandah of his bungalow on the Rhenok Ridge, Sikkim. The larva is green, and of the 
usual onisciform shape.

DESCRIPTION : “MALE. UPPERSIDE, Goth wings cerulean blue, the base brown [black]. 
Forewing with a small black discal spot at the end of the cell; the costal and outer margins 
broadly brown [black]. indwing with two tails ; the costal margin brown [black]; the lobe 
and two small spots at the base of the tails brown [black]. UNDERSIDE, doth wings blue-white, 
with two lines at the end of the cell, two pale submarginal bands, the outer band broken into 
spots. Forewing crossed beyond the middle by a long twice-interrupted band of seven spots. 
Hindwing with a black spot near the base, crossed at the middle by several unconnected spots. 
FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, Joth wings dark brown, paler on the hindwing, with a medial pale 
spot. Hindwing with some marginal spots of dark brown, and below them a line of white. 
UNpERSIDE, both wings do not differ from the male, except in having the bands and spots darker.” 
( Hewitson, 1. c.) 
Mr. Doherty has redescribed this species from specimens taken at Loharket, 5,000 feet, 
N.-W. Kumaon, as follows :—‘‘ MALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing widely black over the apex, 
costa, and outer margin to the lower angle ; a large whitish discal patch (greenish or bluish 
in different lights, just entering the cell and extending from the submedian nervure to the 
third median nervute, and obscurely along the median nervure basally and the submedian 
nervure discally) set in the middle of an area of bright blue, only visible in some lights, 
and extending to the hind margin and nearly to the costa. Hé#dwing bluish-gray over the 
outer disc from the submedian nervure to the second subcostal nervule, and also on the 
abdominal margin basally. with three somewhat darker spots anally and subanally, of which 
that between the first and second median nervules is rather distinct ; edge-line black ; discoidal 
cell and the space between the subcostal nervules blue in some lights as on the forewing. Cilia 
white. UNDERSIDE, doth wings whitish with a silky lustre, edge-line dark. Forewing with 
two transverse lines across the end of thecell, a dark discal transverse line in two parts, 
narrowed, and removed inwardly below the third median nervule ; two darker lines of joined 
lunules submarginally. Hindwing with a black spot near the costa basally, a double streak 
across the end of the cell, a dark transverse discal band broken into six pieces, that near the 
costa being nearly black, a submarginal line of streaks backed bya continuous irregular dark- 
gray line, a black spot surrounded with dark ochreous between the first and second median 
nervules, a smaller similar spot on the lobe. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings black. ore- 
wing with a whitish discal area most distinct between the median nervules, but extending 
beyond, and entering the interno-median space asa pale band. Cz/ia white, especially at the 
lower angle. Aindwing, disc with a pale area cut by dark veins, a submarginal white line, 
and an obscurely darker subanal spot near the margin, Both sexes have four tails, of which, 
unlike C. othona, Hewitson, the outer ones are much the shorter. My specimens agree
