the black border encloses a very indistinct series of round spots of 

 the ground-colour, each spot centred with black, which are more 

 prominent posteriorly than anteriorly. Underside: bluish white, 

 in some specimens slightly yellowish white ; the markings small, 

 delicate and very regular ; the postdiscal transverse series of 

 abbreviated lines on the fore wing bieinuate and nearly as in 

 C. lanka, but the series further from the termen and the short 

 lines that compose it not quite end to end but a little en echelon 

 one to the other ; the terminal markings on both fore and hind 

 wings more or less obsolescent apparently at all seasons. 5 . Upper- 

 side : ground-colour similar to that in the rf . Fore wing : costa, 

 apex and termen very broadly dusky brownish-black; over the 

 blue area the dark veins are somewhat prominent, on the termen 

 the black border occupies in some specimens more than one-third 

 of the wing and in all is very even. Hind wing : the dark veins 

 as conspicuous as on the fore wing ; anterior third of wing dusky 

 black, termen with a well-marked anticiliary line and a more or 

 less distinct and complete subterminal series of spots. Underside : 

 as in the d . Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen in both sexes 

 dusky black, the antennae ringed with white ; beneath : palpi, 

 thorax and abdomen white.

c? . Upperside : pale lilacine grey. Fore wing : costa bordered 

 by a slender line, termen by- a comparatively broad and even band 

 of dusky black, the latter diffuse along its inner margin. Hind 

 wing : costal margin diffusely dusky black, termen with a slender 

 black anticiliary line ; dorsal margin narrowly pale. Underside : 

 white with a slight tinge of blue. Fore wing : a short line on the 

 discocellulars, a postdiscal transverse series of six abbreviated 

 lines pointing obliquely outwards and en echelon one with the 

 other, the uppermost shifted well 'inwards, followed by a sub- 

 terminal series of transverse spots enclosed between an inner 

 subterminal, lunular, transverse line and an outer anticiliary slender 

 line, pale brown. Hind wing : a transverse subbasal series of 

 three, sometimes four, minute spots and a spot beyond on the 

 dorsum, with a larger subcostal spot near the apex of the wing, 

 black ; a short slender line on the discocellulars and some irregular 

 dots on the disc pale brown ; terminal markings as on the fore 

 wing. Cilia of both fore and hind wings whitish. Antennae, bead, 

 thorax and abdomen dark brown, the antennae ringed with white 

 beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen white. $. Upperside, 

 fore wing: a broad border to the costal and terminal margins
