as far north as Masuri by cle Rhe-Philipe ; by Watson from the Chin Hills ; de Nict-ville 

 and Martin record it from Sumatra ; Elwes from Java, Perak, Kiua Balu and the 

 Philippines ; we took it in Bombay and Poona, and have examples from the Khasia 

 Hills, Sikkim, Burma and Annam. The Malayan and Indian forms cannot be 

 separated.

Imaoo. — Male. Upperside dark vaudyke-brown ; spots white, large and semi- 

 diaphanous. Foreiving with ten spots placed almost exactly as in C. conjuncta, but 

 all much larger, the tenth spot being a small spot immediately Ijelow the large, out- 

 wardly pointed spot near the base of the first median interspace, sometimes present in 

 conjuncta, always present and prominent in assamenslft, the two cell spots are somewhat 

 linear and large, and consequently nearly touch each other ; the basal three-fourths of 

 the wing and the hinder marginal space are covered with ochreous-brown setie. 

 Hindwiiiij with a round prominent spot in the middle of interspace 4, the entire 

 wing covered with ochreousl)rown hairs. Cilia of both wings olive-brown. Underside 

 as dark as the upperside. Forewing without the ochreous-brown setae, the colour of the 

 wing paling somewhat on the outer margin, the spots as on the upperside, but the lowest 

 spot above the middle of the sub-median vein is whiter than the others and is large 

 and outwardly suffused. Hindwing covered with minute ochreous-brown scales, the 

 discal spot as on the upperside, and sometimes with one or two more spots or dots of a 

 discal series and a spot inside the cell, near its upper end, often absent in this sex. 

 Antennfe black, the upper part of the shaft whitish on the underside, the club with an 

 ashy tip ; palpi, head and body concolorous with the wings, with olive-green or 

 ochreous-green hairs, palpi above with some pale hairs, grey below, the pectus with 

 ochreous-grey hairs, legs brown. 



Female like the male, all the spots larger, a whitish, short streak from the base 

 of the forewing on the underside ; there are indications of this also in some of the 

 males ; the hinder angle paler than the rest of the wing.
