Imago. — Male. Upperside, brownish-black, a largish orange- red space in the 

 middle, duller in colour than in C. dentata, the orange-red colour fills the cell and a 

 little above it at the base, the space outside the end of the cell is however black, the red 

 space is outwardly evenly rounded, and extends to the base above the sub-median vein, 

 with some brown irrorations at the base ; the hinder margin is thus very broadly and 

 almost evenly black. Hindwing with a rather broad curved short orange band in the 

 upper disc, its inner edge being filled in with the termination of a broad black streak 

 which runs out from the base, the orange-red being continued round it on to the costa ; 

 abdominal space pale, apex of forewing sub-acute, outer margin concave in its middle, 

 hinder angle blunt but triangular, the hinder margin being long, the outer margin of 

 the hindwing is evenly rounded from the costa to its middle where it is slightly 

 angulated, and is somewhat concave from thence to the anal angle which is produced, 

 but blunt. Underside white, with the bauds much as in C. dentata. 



Female. Upperside brownish-black, the hindwing much paler than the forewing, 

 markings exactly as in the male, the orange-red being replaced by white ; the apex of 

 the forewing is more produced and much sharper, so also is the hinder angle ; on the 

 hindwing the outer margin is highly angled in its middle, and the anal angle is more 

 produced and sharper. Underside as in the male. Cilia brown with white tips. 

 Antennae black with pale reddish tips ; head and body brown above and white 

 beneath. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? I^q to l-j-^g- inches. 



Habitat. — Upper India, Upper Burma. 



Distribution seems to be confined to the upper parts of India and Burma, 

 Mackinnon and de Niceville record it from Mussuri, we have it from Sikkim, and 

 have received many examples of both sexes from the Khasia Hills ; the type is marked 

 N.W. Himalayas ; it was taken by Adamson at Bhamo in Upper Burma, and Betham 

 is said to have taken it in the Central Provinces.
