This species is closely allied to C. inca, the figures of which hitherto published appear 

 to represent female specimens. The female of the present species has the fore wings 

 much more strongly variegated ; and the broad black border of the hind wings in C. inca, 

 with its row of pale straw-coloured spots, is replaced by a richly coloured and marked 

 margin in C. clitarcha. The cell and branches of the postcostal vein of the fore wing 

 are arranged as in V. Latreillii, the third and fourth branches separating at a consider- 

 able distance beyond the cell.
