•white marks on the margin. Hindwing differs in having the outer- 

 third of the wing pure white instead of creamy- white, this area being 

 of much less extent than in C. nicholii, with its inner edge nearly 

 straight instead of deeply indented ; the series of eight diamond- 

 shaped, black, white-centered spots on the band twice as large 

 and very conspicuous ; the marginal line much more prominent. 

 Underside, both wings agree almost precisely with the figure of the 

 male of C. dnrnfordi, Distant,* from Sungei Ujong in the Malay 

 Peninsula ; but the dark discal band of the forewing is broader in 

 C. staudingeri. 



Described from three specimens kindly sent to me by Herr G. Hop- 

 penstedt, captured in the Preanger district, a mountainous region near 

 Batavia in North-Western Java; and one from Mount Gede, Western 

 Java, 4,000 ft., captured by Herr H. Fruhstorfer, and kindly sent to me 

 by him. He has quite recently described the hitherto unknown female.

Habitat: N.-E. Sumatra. 



Expanse : d , 4*1 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, forewing agrees with Messrs. 

 Grose Smith and Moore's figures of the same sex of C. nichohi, Grose 

 Smith, in having the basal area of the same shade of " dark brown " 

 (dark castaneous), but is of greater extent, occupying the whole of the 

 discoidal cell, and reaching nearly as far as the interior of the two discal 

 series of white spots ; differs also in having two additional elongated 

 white spots forming a commencement to a third series just behind the 

 costa, divided by the upper discoidal nervule; both discal series of 

 white spots are also smaller, the spots apparently further apart owing 

 to their smaller size ; and the longitudinal band on the sutural area at 

 the outer angle almost obsolete : differs from Mr. Distant's figure of 

 C. durnfordi in having the basal area very much darker, being dark 

 castaneous instead of " dark brownish-ochraceous ; " in that species 

 also the outer angle extending some distance along the outer and inner 

 margins is pure white, in the present species the outer angle is only 

 obsoletely sordid white : differs from C. staudingeri, Rothschild, des- 

 cribed above, in having the basal area of a distinctly lighter shade 

 than the outer portion of the wing (which is black), in that species it 

 is dark ferruginous-brown throughout ; and in having the inner discal 

 series of white spots complete, in G. staudingeri the inner series is 

 obsolete except the two anteriormost spots ; and that species does not
