Wings unspotted ; joints of the tarsi with basal snow-white rings ; 
thorax black with a pair of submedian, snow-white lines forming 
a V behind, and two lateral semilunar patches, prolonged posteriorly 
into fine lines of the same ; abdominal segments biack with basal 
white bands best marked in front ; nape with six silvery lines. 
A truly cosmopolitan species, common throughout India. Varies 
greatly in size. A dwarf variety from Calcutta is the smallest true 
enat I have met with.

Wings unspotted ; tarsal joints banded white, on the first two 
of the fore and middle, and on all those of the hind legs ; dorsum of 
thorax traversed by a line of silvery scales for rather more than its 
anterior half ; ihe pleure silvery spotted ; abdominal segments 
narrowly banded silvery, and with lateral silvery spots: femora 
slightly tipped silvery. . 
Mr. Theobald regards this as a synonym of C. scutellaris, Walker, 
but as the latter has three thoracic stripes, not one, I conclude the 
species are distinct. Appears common all over India.

brown, with a broad yellowish band beyond the middle. 
Shahjahanpur ; October. This corresponds with my notes on the 
type, but, without actual comparison, the identification must not be 
considered final. This species persists throughout the cold weather in 
the N.-W. P.
