3U LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



which has a wliite tip ; palpi lirowu above, with some grey hairs, ochreous-grey 

 beneath ; liead and body brown, with some brownish-ochreous and grey hairs, pectus 

 and abdomen beneath ochreous-grey, legs brown, with reddish tarsi. 



Female like the male, all the spots larger. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? l^\ to 1 ^^ inches. 



Genitalia. — The apex of the oedoeagus, as seen from below, is produced on the left 

 side into a long sharp horn, and the right side is spinose. (Elw^es and Edwards.) 



Habitat. — N.AV. Himalayas, Sikkim, Assam, Chin Hills, China. 



Distribution. — The type came from Darjiliug; we have it from Ranikhet, Sikkim, 

 Cachar and the Khasia Hills, where it is common ; Moore records it from Kangra, 

 Elwes from the Naga and Karen Hills, Watson from the Chin Hills, de Ehe-Philipe 

 from Masuri, Hannyugtou from Kumaon, and Leech from China.

Imago. — Male and Female. Upperside similar in all respects to C. eltola except 

 tliat the spots are whiter in colour and somewhat smaller, the largest spot which fills the 

 first median interspace near its base more square in shape ; in eltola it is an elongated 

 square with its lower outer side somewhat produced ; the cilia also is somewhat 

 dift'erent to that of eltola, being l)rowu on the upper part of the forewing, becoming 

 white, with a bi-own base hindwards and on the hiudwing. Underside with the middle 

 portion of the forewing blackish, the rest of that wing and the entire surface of the 

 hindwing covered with sette of a moi'e ochreous colour than in eltola. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? 1^ to l-^g- inches. 



Habitat. — Assam, Sikkim, Burma. 



Distribution. — A common form in the Khasia Hills ; we have received numerous 

 examples of both sexes from our native collector ; Elwes and Edwards record it also 

 from Sikkim, Tenasserim, E. Pegu, and Bernardmyo, Burma ; it was in our collection 

 as a seasonal form of eltola, but Elwes and Edwards say that the diflerence in the 

 genitalia aftbrds conclusive evidence of its distinctness, the apex of the oedoeagus 

 being produced into two sub-equal spinose horns ; side lobes of the tegumen narrow 

 and simple.
