with four long pink rugose processes marked with bUie at llie ends. Pupa pale green, un- 

 marked, head ending in a blunt point. 



The only specimens of this species that I have seen are one in Colonel Swinhoe's col- 

 lection from Borneo, and one without locality in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, which was 

 received under that name from the old East India Company's Museum. I have never seen the 

 female, but it must be quite distinct from any known female of the genus, as the discal band 

 on the upperside is said to be yellowish, in all the others it is white.

 Habitat : Bishnath, Upper Assam. 

 E.KPANSE : 3 "5 inches. 



Description : "Male. Allied to C. bnya, Moore, and C. affinis, Butler, from Celebes, 

 bat differing from the former in the absence of the white pupils in the black submarginal spots 

 on the UPPERSIDE oi \.he hindwhio ; from the latter in the greater size and more distinctly 

 diamond-like shape of these spots, and the much more regular inner margin of the broad black 

 border of \.\\e foitiuing ; and from both in the colouration of the underside, which is dull 

 clay-yellowish washed with shining lilacene-grey, excepting upon the outer borders and on 

 the lunated discal belt bounding the submarginal ocelloid spots internally ; bands indicated by 

 black lines edged externally with white ; margins and lunated belt dull ferruginous-brownish." 



"Only one example was taken in August, 1877, but Dr. Watt says that it is not uncom. 

 mon." (Butler, 1. c.) I have never seen this species. From the description ,it must be veiy 

 neat to C. baya, on the upperside the only distinguishing character I can discover is that 

 C. baya has six white-centred black spots on the upperside of the hindwing, while C. zoatti 

 has the two germinated anal ones only with white centres.

Description: "Male. Upperside fulvous. Forrwing with a duplex litura at the 

 upper angle of the cell and the broad external border well-decreasing hindwards, occupying 

 only the internal angle, blackish-fuscous, this [black border] inwardly anteriorly excised, 

 posteriorly most remotely crenate, inwardly posteriorly divided with three increasing elongate 

 sjiots of the ground-colour (the lowest altogether confluent with the ground). Hindwing paler 

 on the anterior border and marked with a black sigmoidal* virgula, the patch occupying the 

 apex+ marked with whitish twice and inwardly with an irrorated spot of the ground-colour, the 

 black spots out of this small, the anal one excepted, blind, inwardly truncate and irrorated. 

 Underside almost as in C. psaphon, Westwood, but much darker [? more obscure], rufescent, 

 more shining, the interior discal streak not at all margined with whitish, in the foregoing also 

 distant from the cell. Hutdioinq with the deep ferruginous fascia narrower and hindwardly 

 more decreasing than in C. psaphon, the submarginal spots better defined, the margin imme- 

 diately beyond them obscurely rufescent." 



"This species belongs to the small group of C /^/j/.r^vw, Cramer, and most resembles 

 C. marniax, Westwood, in the form of the forewing, but the apex is less produced, and the 

 hindwing is but shallowly toothed." (^Feider, 1. c.) 



* Sigmoidal, shaped like a sigma ; that is the Greek letter (7 or q. 



t The passage is as follows :— " Posticae in limbo antico dilutiores virguKique sigmoidea nigra notatae plagula 

 apicem occupante albido bis- et intus macula alomaria fundi coloris notata." I am unable to translate this 

 accurately, for "albido" agrees with uothinjj, but the rendering I have given is the nearest guess I can make 

 to the actual meaning.
