Owing to the slight differences wliicli characterize some of the 

 males, it is not surprising to find that they have not been referred 

 to their proper females ; but, on the other hand, it is singular 

 that even careful Lepidopterists have agreed in regarding two 

 distinct females as sexes in more than one instance.

This is the nearest ally of C. Guderiana, which it approaches in 

 both sexes. In the male the discoidal and two following subcostal 

 spots on the primaries are lilaciue and small, and, as a rule, only 

 two of the submarginal series exist, even these are small with 

 lilac edges ; very rarely one or two extra white points occur ;' the 

 marginal spots also are bluish grey or bronze-greenish, not 

 white ; on the secondaries the blue band is either wholly wanting, 

 or represented by two or three separate greenish lunules, and 

 in the marginal lunules green takes the place of white and the 

 red central streaks upon them become more or less pronounced. 

 The female is in some respects nearer to that sex of C. viola,
