Fore wing elongated, narrow, more regularly triangular ; first sub- 

 costal branch emitted at one fourth before end of the cell, free ; second 

 branch from end of the cell ; cell long and narrow ; upper disco- 

 cellular bent below lower radial, producing a short spur from the 

 angle within the cell ; lower discocellular slender at its upper end. 

 Hind wing elongated, abdominal margin short, costa straight ; costal 

 vein long, slightly curved and extending along the margin ; cell long 

 and narrow. Male with two spatula-shaped pouch-marks, one, the 

 largest, being on the submedian vein, the other on the internal vein, 

 near the end ; these pouch-marks are formed by a lengthened but 

 slight dilatation or swelling of the veins, the adjacent spatula-shaped 

 surface being composed of very compactly disposed scales of a dif- 

 ferent shape and form, (? between) which project innumerable delicate 

 short white filaments ; a similar patch of scales is also observable on 

 the lower median vein, but it is not accompanied by the swollen vein. 

 Antennae with a regularly formed clavate tip. Apical joint of palpi 

 large, stout, pointed.

Differs from typical C. tytia in its larger size : fore wing very 

 black, with broader subapical streaks; comparatively smaller and 

 more ovate upper discal spots ; the lower discal outer spot also 

 smaller, the latter being more transversely narrow and less quadrate 

 in shape ; the submarginal row of spots are larger, and the marginal 

 row more distinct: hind wing in m.nle with all the veins and their 

 borders blackish, the spatular glandular patch and streaks therefrom 

 very black ; no red bifid streak within the cell, which is replaced by
