dark line, outwai^dly defined with wbitisti, broken and lunulatod in 

 the hindwing; an obsolete marginal fascia. Forewing with the usual 

 tuft of long setae attached to the inner margin and turned under and 

 backwards concolorous with the ground-colour. Hindwing with 

 the usual oval black spot on the outer margin in the first median 

 interspace, very broadly surrounded with ochreous, which colour 

 is continued in a lunulated line to the abdominal margin ; anal lobe 

 deep black outwardly bearing some metallic blue scales ; a short 

 streak of metallic blue scales placed outwardly against the sub- 

 median nervure towards its termination ; a fine black anteciliary 

 line inwardly defined by a narrow white line as far as the third 

 median nervule. 



Rear to C. lila, Moore, from Sylhet, but much smaller (1'25 as 

 against ] "80 inches), this species being known to me by the descrip- 

 tion and figure only ; the bluish-purple area reaching to nearer the 

 outer margin on the upperside of the forewing ; the discal line on the 

 underside much less prominent than in some specimens of C. deva^ 

 Moore, C. lila being said to have this line '^much more prominent" — - 

 this, however, is probably a variable character. Also near to 

 C. ister, Hewitson, from " India," the female of which only is known, 

 and which is described as being cerulean-blue on the upperside 

 of both wings, that colour on the hindwing reaching much closer 

 to the outer margin than in C. carmentalis. The underside of the 

 two species agree very closely, and G. carmentalis is not improbably 

 the opposite sex of G. ister, unless the latter should be, as 1 have 

 supposed, a varietal form of the female of G. cleohis, Godart. 



Described from two examples from the Khasi Hills kindly given 

 to me by the Eev. "Walter A. Hamilton, by whose native collectors 

 they were obtained.
