2 . Anteniife fuscous. Fore wing similar to tiiat of male, but 

 the ground-colour is greyish brown, and the svibtei-minal band is 

 more prominent and blacker. Hind wing with the terminal area 

 fuscous brown. Underside white ; fore wing Avith brown dis- 

 coidal spot, a. postmedial line to vein 2 and fuscous area beyond 

 it. Costa of both wings irroi-ated with pinkish.

This form differs from C. poliochroa in the male in being much 

 lighter coloured and in having a distinct subterminal fuscous 

 band, and in the hind wing being pure white, without a sub- 

 marginal band. In the female it diffei'S in having a prominent 

 subterminal fuscous band on fore wing. 



I may be wrong in putting these two specimens together as 

 male and female of the same species, but as 2^oliochroa was 

 described from a single female specimen, we cannot tell what its 

 male is like. The male of the nearly allied C. i^ericyvia Hmpsn. 

 from Somaliland has a fuscous band to the hind wing, according 

 to the description.
