ciliated with white. Cilia brown, with white tips. Underside creamy-white, markings 

 dull orange. Forewing with a thin line at the end of the cell ; a discal band, 

 commencing at the costa, with four thin annular marks, the first three spots outwardly 

 oblique, the fourth straight below the third, the band continued in very thin lunules 

 almost straight down to the sub-median vein, a sub-marginal lunular thin line. 

 •Hindmng with a black, rather prominent sub-basal spot below the costa, another, 

 somewhat larger, outside, also below the costa, with the discal series running down 

 from it in one disconnected thin line, then two annular thin marks in the middle, 

 followed by a thin sinuous line which curves in the form of the letter W on to the 

 abdominal margin one-fourth above the anal angle, a small black anal spot, another in 

 the first median interspace, both faintly crowned with dull orange, and a sub-marginal 

 lunular line as in the forewing. Antennae black, ringed with white, club with a dull 

 orange tip ; head and body above and below concolorous with the wings. 



Female. Upperside blackish-brown. Forewing without markings. Hindwing 

 with a small black anal spot, a larger black, sub-terminal spot in each of the next two 

 inter.spaces, and a small spot in each of the next two, the last four prominently capped 

 with white lunules ; terminal line black, with an inner white thread. Underside as in 

 the male.

Habitat. — Nilgiris, Ceylon. 



Distribution. — The type came from Coonoor in the Nilgiris, 1,000 feet elevation ; 

 taken by Fairlie at Jaffna, and by Machwood at Dolosbagee, both in Ceylon ; our 

 description and figures are from a pair in the B. M. from Ceylon. 



Note. — The figures of this species and of Cldiaria tliecloides, Felder, are out of 

 place ; they should have appeared with the other C/diarias in Plates 721 or 722. We 

 were misled by de Niceville, who put them in the genus Hypolycsena, but they have 

 only two subcostal nervules in the forewing, not three as in Hypolycsena, have no 

 secondary sexual characters, and are true C/diarias.
