This is a very distinct species which has been incorrectly 

 associated with the C hehe group ; it really belongs to the 

 opposite end of the series of species allied to G. athamas, the 

 bordering of the wings on the under surface being narrowest in 

 this species.

The evident rarity of this form is rather suspicious ; but it 

 differs in so many respects from C. athamas that, without positive 

 evidence, it would be presumptuous to regard it as a variety of 

 that species : in its much narrower dark borders it is considerably 

 nearer to C. jalysus.

We next come to a form corresponding closely with C. 

 athamas in pattern, and which I therefore regard as a variety of 

 that species, but which, from the pale greenish-yellow colouring 

 of the central area above, has been confounded with the narrow- 

 bordered O. bharata.
