the outer margin from vein 2 to the hinder angle with little more than a thick black

 grey, outer marginal line black ; anal lobe with a black and an orange spot on its inner 

 side, the rest of the lobe with black and blue scales ; tails black, tipped with white. 

 Cilia of both wings black, with white tips on the lower part of the hindwing. Underside 

 creamy-brown, a fine red-brown, somewhat sinuous discal line across both wings, 

 slightly outwardly curved on both wings, becomes angular on the lower part of the 

 hindwing, and turns inwards in a regular curve to the abdominal margin a little above 

 the anal angle ; a black spot on the anal lobe, another in the first interspace, both 

 capped with orange, with some blue and grey scales outside and in the interspace 

 between them ; marginal line dark brown, with an inner white thread which becomes 

 obsolete upwards. Antennse black, ringed with white, club with a red tip ; frons white ;

Female. Upperside pale blue. Forewing with blackish-brown costal band, 

 which broadens at the apex, but not nearly so broad as it is in the male, narrowing on 

 the outer margin, the inner margin of the blackish-brown band nearly evenly curved. 

 Hindwing with the costal space blackish-brown, a series of blackish spots on the outer 

 margin, abdominal fold grey. Underside paler than in the male, markings similar. 



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



Larva, feeds on Loranthus elasticus, Desr., apparently only on the flowers. It is 

 very similar in shape to Tajuria longinus, Fabricius [ = cippus, p. 104), only it is more 

 swollen on the 11th and 12th segments, producing constriction in the middle of the 

 abdomen ; it is semicircular in front, humped at segment 4, and slightly thickened 

 laterally, being broadest at the 6th segment, segments 7 to 10 are toothed dorsally ; 

 the anal end is nearly square ; the surface is rough and shiny, the head well concealed 

 and glossy. In colour the larva is greenish -yellow, with a dorsal brownish band, 

 segments 8 and 9 being, however, deep red-brown, with a white dorsal patch, and 

 segment 10 dark green, with a sub-dorsal whitish line. 



PoPA like that of C. deva, Moore, but has a small conical point in front of each 

 eye ; the anal column is long, and consists of segments 10 to 14 ; the colour is green, 

 suffused with white on the thorax, the abdomen being yellow-green, with a pinkish 

 dorsal band. (Davidson, Bell and Aitken.) 



Habitat. — India, Burma.

 Chin Hills, by Mackinnon and de Niceville from Masuri, by de Niceville from 

 Bolahat in the Malda district, Dinapore, Calcutta and Upper Burma. The type came 

 from Bengal ; we have both sexes from Sikkim and the Khasia Hills.
