Habitat : Drosh, Chitral, Western Himalayas. 

 Expanse : ^, 2'0 inches. 



Description : Male. The specimen figured is an aberration or 

 "sport" of the common C. mrma^a, Moore, which is found all over 

 the Western Himala3'-as. It was sent to me by Mr. W. H. Evans, 

 R.E., without date of capture. It differs from typical specimens of 

 true C. nirmala taken at Drosh in July and August by having no 

 ocelli on the uppbrsidb whatever ; on the underside of the forewing the 

 sub-apical ocellus is very small, less than half the normal size, and 

 the hindioing has no ocelli. It is a far more aberrant form than the 

 vars. intermedia and cashapa of Dr. Moore figured in Lep. Ind. It is 

 apparently scarce, as the specimen figured is the only one Mr. Evans 

 has obtained, whereas typical C, nirmala is very common in Chitral.

 outwardly bearing two, three or four round black spots. Underside 

 hoih wings fuscous, in old specimens this blackish colour fades to a
