Imago. — jNIale. Upperside of a uniform vinaceous-brown. Forev:ing with the 

 apex less truncated than iu C. vasava, the outer margin somewhat .sinuous, but more 

 evenly rounded, the sub-apical spots with the second, third and fourth from the costa 

 of even size, the discal series similarly disposed, but somewhat smaller and more 

 separated, the small spot at the base of the first median interspace wanting, but there 

 is an additional somewhat prominent small spot inside the cell near the base. Hindicing 

 with the outer margin less angular, a spot at the base, a cluster of fourteen spots in 

 the centre of the wing before the middle, all close together, all much of one size and 

 very difficult to describe, with three dots in an obliquely transverse line below them, 

 mine of the spots on either wing edged with Ijrowu as in C. vasava, marginal line 

 brown. Cilia of forewing checkered, brown and white, of hindwing mostly whitish, 

 with a small brown mark at the end of each angle. Underside very pale, markings 

 as on the upperside. 



Female like the male, only to be distinguished from it by the absence of the tuft 

 of hairs at the proximal end of the hind tibiae. 



Expanse of wings, $ % 1^ to 1^ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Distribution. — The types are from the Meplay Valley and the Donat Range. 

 Elwes records it from Akyab, and Watson from the Chin Hills ; our descriptions and 

 figures are from a pair from Touugoo in the Hancock Museum, Newcastle, taken by 

 Adamson in February, 1881.
