Nearly allied to C. Astarte. The sexes do not, however, differ, except in size, as in that species. 
Above, this is much richer in colour ; below, it has a much larger proportion of yellow. I have again 
fizured this species, to show the underside, without which our former figure in the “Genera” is of 
little use.
