CYLLOGENES. 163 



of the venation similar to that of Melanitis. Antennae less than 

 half the length of fore wing, with a shorter and broader club ; 

 palpi as in Melanitis ; eyes naked ; femora of intermediate and 

 posterior legs scaled, slightly longer than the tibiae. So far as is 

 known, there is no seasonal dimorphism ; typically the male is 

 furnished with a very large and conspicuous sex-mark of specialized 

 scales, lying on both sides of the median vein on the upperside of 

 the fore wing.

6 2 • Upperside vandyke-brown with in some lights a purplish 

 gloss. Eore wing : a preapical curved broad yellow fascia from costa 

 to a little below vein 5, but not reaching the termen. Hind wing 

 uniform. Underside dull ochraceous white, somewhat closely 

 irrorated with fine short transverse brown striae ; both fore and hind 

 wing with a dark, transverse, slightly diffuse discal band, and an 

 obscure, very incomplete postdiscal series of small white ocellar 

 spots. The discal band broader in the $ than in the <3 ; in the 

 latter bordered outwardly by a broad diffuse purplish band. 

 Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen pale brown, dull ochraceous 

 white beneath ; the antenuae bright ochraceous at apex. Male 

 sex-mark as described under generic characters. 



Exp. 3 2 82-88 mm. (3-25-3-47"). 



Hab. Recorded hitherto only from Sikhim.

c? 2 • Very closely resembles C. suradeva in colour, but the out- 

 line of the fore wing in both 6 and $ is different, as noted in the 

 Key to the forms ; the preapical yellow band on the upperside of 

 the fore wing is broader, more curved and reaches the termen, 

 along which it is continued narrowly to the tornus ; the termen of 

 the hind wing is broadly, but very obscurely, also yellow ; and the 

 3 is entirely without the conspicuous sex-patch on the fore 

 wing. Underside very much darker than in C. suradeva, the striae 

 coalescing in places and shading the whole area of the wings 

 irregularly with brown. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as 

 in C. suradeva, but much darker. 

 Exp. 6 2 96-98 mm. (3*8-3:85"), 

 Hab. Bhutan ; the Naga Hills.
