Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olive-brown, but not blackish as in sjyilothyrus , 

 the brownish-oehreous setas on the basal area of the forewing and the hairs of the 

 hindwing more ochreous. Forcicimj with the sul)-apical spots and the spots of 

 the discal band similarly disposed, but there is usually only one lower dot of the 

 suli-apical series, and the lowest small spot of the discal series is almost always 

 wanting in this sex ; the uppermost spot of the discal series is always white, not 

 ochreous as in spilothyrns. Hindwing without markings. Cilia of both wings alter- 

 nately black and wl^ite, the alternations more pronounced on the hindwing than on 

 the forewing, in spilothynis it is entirely blackish on both wings. Underside as on the 

 upperside, the entire surface of both wings covered with minute ochreous-grey scales. 

 Antennpe on the underside, with all the club, except its tip, and the upper third of the 

 shaft pure white, the remainder of the shaft with pure white dots ; palpi with the 

 inner half ochreous-grey marked with black, the outer half blackish, white at the sides 

 and below the eyes ; head, body above and below and the legs concolorous with 

 the wings. 



Female like the male above and below, but the spots in the forewing are larger, 

 the discal band consequently more continuous, the outer spot usually wedged into the 

 junction of the two large sub-c[uadrate spots, there is also on the underside of the hind- 

 wing an obscure whitish dot at the end of the cell. Cilia of both wings as in the male. 

 Expanse of wings, $ ly^g to l-^^, % l-fg to 2 inches. 



Larva. — Is the same as the last in shape (rt»iiar<?t;6-rt, Moore). Colour, green, with 

 a light dorsal line, and a whitish marginal line, otherwise the body is unmarked ; the 

 head is always yellow or brownish-yellow, never being as in the foregoing species, 

 C. leueocerea, Kollar, or C. ainhareesa, Moore. Length, 32 mm. 



Pupa. — The same as the pupa of C. ainhareesa in sha2)e, but stouter, shorter and 

 niDre like that of T. atticus, Fabricius,* and green in colour instead of brown. Pupates 

 in its cell with tail suspension and l)ody-baud. Length, 23 mm. 



* Tagiades Utigiosa, Moschler.
