the wings being greyer than in 0. limbolalis, Moore. Fore 

 wings with the costal and basal portion suffused with dark 

 greyish ochreous, and a broad marginal band of the same 

 colour on both wings, widest on the costa, narrowing hind- 

 wards very gradually on both wings, leaving a pale discal 

 band-like space, limited internally on both wings by the outer 

 lines, which are nearly straight downwards ; interior line on 

 fore wings indistinct, from costal third to middle of hinder 

 margin, on hind wings obsolete ; cilia pale dull ochreous ; a 

 grey spot at end of cell of fore wings. Underside pale 

 ochreous grey, markings as above ; body and legs white, fore 

 legs with brown bands. 



Expanse of wings -fjj inch. 



Cherra Punji. Several examples. 



A smaller insect than C. limbolalis, Moore ; the marginal 

 band narrower and paler, being merely a darker shade of the 

 ground-colour of the wings, and not purple as in limbolalis ; 

 the transverse lines similarly disposed.

 of hind wings white, the rest of the wings with the ground- 

 colour suffused with very pale luteous grey, and over this 

 colour there is a darker suffusion of clear chestnut-red on the 

 fore wings, on the basal half of costa, and the outer portions 

 of the wing, with the exception of a large patch on the costa 

 at the apex, which is left luteous grey ; these two red spaces 

 are joined together by a dark brown bar from the middle of 

 the costa, which runs to a little below the middle of the outer 

 margin : the hind wing has also the outer margin broadly 

 suffused with chestnut-red. A brown lunule at end of cell of 

 fore wings, a brown point at end of cell of hind wings ; fore 

 wings with an interior, outwardly curved, thin, and sinuous 

 brown line, and a similar exterior line across both wings,
