j . Upperside : dark cupreous red, glossy and shining. Fore 

 wing : base irrorated with dusky scales ; costa edged with a 

 narrow, inwardly jagged, jet-black band that broadens to the apex, 

 thence continued along the termen, decreasing in width to the 

 tornus ; opposite the apex the inner edge of the black is acutely 

 angulate. Hind wing : base aud dorsum broadly but slightly 

 irrorated with dusky scales ; costa narrowly, dorsal margin more 

 broadly pale; termen very narrowly and evenly margined with 

 black. Underside : shining silvery white. Fore and hind wings 



* The colour and markings of the larva as figured do not agree with 

 de Niceville's description of the same as reared by him in Calcutta, but, except 

 that the red markings are too bright and too broad, Moore's figure of the larva 

 closely resembles the larva of C. bulis, var. malayica, Felder, obtained by me in 

 Burma.
