Wet-season Brood (Figs. 1, $, la, ?, lb, $). 



Imago. — ]\Iale. Upper.side much resembling the upper.side of C. tissa, but the 

 colour is darker and more uniform on both wings, all the obscure pale orange-ochreous 

 markings on the inner parts of the wings being absent,- all the spots are much laroer, 

 on the forewing the sub-apical spots are elongated and conjoined, there are only the 

 three upper ones ; the discal spots twice as large, the cilia of forewing is as in tism., 

 but in the hindwing they are checkered black and white. Underside as dark as the 

 upperside, no orange-ochreous spots on the interior of the wings, the coloration very 

 uniform, markings as on the upperside, but in the forewing the sub-marginal series of 

 orange-ochreous spots is limited to two prominent dark orange spots above the middle, 

 with two or three faintly indicated spots in continuation upwards, and two prominent 

 orange spots close to the hinder margin, and on the hindwing the sub-marginal .'series 

 of these orange spots is as prominent as it is on the i;nderside of the male ui lissa. 

 Antennge, body and legs similar. 



Female. Upperside like its own male, except that there is usually a small dot 

 below the three conjoined sub-apical spots. Underside. Foreiving like the upperside, 

 with an additional orange .spot near the base, attached to the innerside of the Uack spot 

 in the interno-median interspace. Ilindioing as above, but there are several obscure 

 orange-ochreous patches on the wing as on the underside of the female of tissa.
