CYCLOPIDES. 69 



hirsute, porrected as long as the head ; terminal joint very minute, conical, 

 nearly concealed by the hairs of the preceding joint. Antennae short with 

 the club stout slightly curved not hooked at the tip, which is obtuse. 

 Wings when at rest erect. 



Forewings long, fringe entire, not spotted. Disc dark brown, with 

 orange coloured spots alike in both sexes. The males without a recurved 

 costa or a thickened oblique streak on the disc. 



Hindwings short, broad, entire, spotted in the same manner as 

 the forewings. 



Hindlegs with the tibiae destitute of a pair of spurs in the middle. 



Abdomen especially in the males, long and slender, with the tip 

 slightly tufted." (Doubleday, Hewitson, I. c.)

d" 9 " Upperside, both wings iridescent vandyke-brown. Forewing 

 with one, two, three, four or five very small pure and bright chrome- 

 yellow streaks divided by the veins placed obliquely beyond the end of 

 the cell ; or even immaculate ; and with all the cilia lighter yellow than 

 the spots when present and broadly intersected with brown opposite to 

 the end of the veins. Underside, both wings and the bases of the cilia 

 throughout rich vandyke-brown, darker than above and veined and 

 margined with rich chrome-yellow. 



Forewing with the costal margin to a little beyond its middle, the 

 costal and subcostal nervules to the costal and outer margins, and the 

 extremity of the third median nervule veined, and the outer margin 

 bordered, with chrome-yellow, so that the wing may be described as 

 increasingly bordered from the base to the apex, and decreasingly from 

 the apex to the sub-median nervure with yellow streaked with dark 

 brown. Hindwing yellow bordered, with the yellow veins broadly edged 

 on both sides with yellow. Antennas dark brown, ringed and tipped 

 with chrome -yellow. Head thorax and abdomen above dark vandyke- 

 brown, below yellow. 



Expanse : -90 to -95 inches. 



Habitat : Sikkim, where it is not uncommon at low elevations ; Bhutan ; 

 and Salween, Moulmein, whence the type specimens were received. 



The great variation in the number of the small chrome-yellow spots 

 on the upperside of the forewing presented by our specimens from 

 Sikkim and Bhutan suggest at least the suspicion that the C. subvadiatus 

 of Moore from the Khasia Hills is not specifically distinct from the 

 C. subvittatus of the same writer." (Wood-Mason and de Niceville, I.e.)
