apical spots arranged three and two all these spots semi-transparent 

 diaphanous white ; cilia dark brown throughout. Hindwing dark 

 brown, the basal two-thirds thickly clothed with long ochreous-yellow 

 setae, some bright yellow spots on the disc ; cilia alternately dark 

 brown and pale yellow. Underside, foreiving spotted as above, but the 

 anterior spot in the cell continued almost to the costa by two small 

 white spots divided by the costal nervure, two diffused whitish spots 

 placed in the submedian interspace beyond the two diaphanous spots of 

 the upperside. Hindwing with all the spots more prominent and paler 

 yellow than on the upperside. Antenna below black throughout, above 

 with a small portion just before the club shining silvery-white, the shaft 

 dotted with white. Female : Upperside, forewing&s in the male, but in 

 some specimens there is a third white spot in the submedian interspace 

 one-third from the base, an'd in some specimens also the spot in the 

 cell has two small whitish dots above it almost reaching the costa. 

 Hindwing as in the male, but the yellow spots more prominent. 

 Underside, forewing as in the male, but with the pair of diffused whitish 

 spots placed beyond the two oblique spots in the submedian interspace 

 more prominent ; cilia in this interspace often pale yellow. Hindwing 

 as in the male. Antenna as in the male. 



The male differs from C. sumttra, Moore, from N.-E. Bengal (which 

 is known to me by the description only), in having the shaft of the 

 antennae black anteriorly dotted with white, not anteriorly wholly 

 silvery -white. The male differs from C. pulomaya, Moore, from Kulu, 

 Sikkim, and Bhutan in having the lower of the two spots placed 

 obliquely in the submedian interspace of the forewing in both sexes 

 white, in C. pulomaya it is yellow. C. putra, Moore, from Bengal, is 

 unknown to me ; the description agrees, however, with some examples 

 of Q, leucocera, Kollar. 



Described from a single male from Bhutan (I have examined the 

 prehensores, so am certain that the specimen is a male), and six females 

 also from Bhutan, one female from Cherrapunji, and one male and three 

 females from the Khasi Hills." (de Niceville, I. c.)
