 the inner area paler and tinged with dark bronzy-red, leaving the apical and outer 

 marginal areas broadly brown ; three spots in the cell as in the female of C. susaiius ;

 black, tipped with white. Cilia whitish, black at the base and at the tips. Underside. 

 Forewing entirely suffused with bright bronzy-orange, markings as in C. susanus, but 

 the spots are much smaller, and the discal series is obsolete except for a few indistinct 

 dots at its upper end. Ilindwing marked as in C. susanus, but the ground colour 

 of the wing is clearer and whiter, and the sub-marginal series and orange band more 

 pronounced and prominent.

 above is paler. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? lyV to 1^ inches. 



This is also a local form of C. caspius, it varies but little from C. susanus, and 

 they are both somewhat similar to the Samarkand form of caspius, named fransiens by 

 Staudinger, Stett, Ent. Zeit. 1886, p. 201, but are quite distinguishable from each 

 other. 



Habitat. — Western Himalayas.
