Imago. — Male. Upperside brown, tinted with ochreous. Forewing with eight 

 semi-diaphanous, ochreous-white spots disposed as in C. mathias, but all larger, the 

 two cell spots placed obliquely, the lower one shifted a little inwards, in mathias they 

 are erectly placed one above the other ; in mathias they are always small, in this species 

 they are much larger, prominent and distinct. Hindicing. Upperside with three 

 small discal spots, the upper one the largest. Cilia ochreous-brown on the upper half 

 of forewing, becoming white hindwards, and on the hindwing with an ochreous-brown 

 base. Underside paler and more strongly tinted with ochreous. Forewing with the 

 middle space from the base to one-third before the outer margin blackish ; spots as on 

 the upperside, a somewhat diffuse additional white spot in the interno-median interspace 

 attached to the spot in the first median interspace. Hindwing with a prominent round 

 white spot in the middle of the cell near its end ; the discal series prominent, the upper 

 .spot large and round. Antennae black, spotted with white below, the club on the 

 underside white ; palpi above with grey and white hairs, greyish-white lielow ; head 

 and body concolorous with the wings ; on the underside the pectus and abdomen are 

 greyish-white, the thorax with grey hairs, legs ochreous-brown. 



Female like the male, but on the upperside of the forewing there is an additional 

 spot in the discal series on the submedian vein, and two additional dots, one 

 immediately below the outer side of the sjjot in the second median interspace, and the 

 other below the sub-apical spots, but a little outside them ; on the underside the two 

 lowest spots are pure white, the spots on the hindwing are larger, and there is some- 

 times an extra dot on the underside ; but one or more of them are absent in some 

 examples. 



Expanse of wings, ^ $ 1^ to I^'q inches.
