EUTHALIA. 275 



slender loop-shaped black marks at base and across the cell, 

 followed by transverse discal and postdiscal slender lunular black 

 lines in the interspaces and a broad terminal blue band narrowing 

 towards but not reaching the apex of the wing; abdominal fold 

 pale brown. Underside dull ochraceous ; hind wing at base 

 suffused obscurely with olive-green, broadly posteriorly, more nar- 

 rowly along the terminal margin ; black markings similar to but 

 larger and more clearly defined than those on the upperside, the 

 postdiscal lunular markings of the upperside forming spots below, 

 on both fore and hind wing, on the latter edged inwardly with 

 blue ; no terminal blue band on the hind wing. Antennas, head, 

 thorax and abdomen dark brown ; palpi, thorax and abdomen pale 

 ochraceous beneath. — $ . Upperside pale brown, the dark markings 

 similar to those in the <$ but larger ; the obscure discal and post- 

 discal series of marks on the fore wing have a dull whitish mark 

 close to the costal margin, on the discal band outwardly, on the 

 postdiscal inwardly ; no terminal blue band on the hind wing. 

 Underside ochraceous brown ; on the hind wing overlaid with 

 greenish blue, except narrowly along the terminal margin ; 

 markings as on the upperside but more clearly defined ; a large 

 diffuse spot of lilacine white at^apex of fore wing, the discal series 

 of lunules on the hind wing on a brown ground, the postdiscal 

 series of spots obsolescent posteriorly. 



Exp. 3 2 76-94 mm. (3-3'7"). 



Hab. The Himalayas from Kumaun to Sikhim ; Bhutan ; 

 Assam, Cachar ; Arrakan ; Upper Burma. 



C. appiades towards the east of its range becomes highly 

 variable, the typical form being found as well as C. adima and 

 C. sedeva, which, so far as I can judge, are nothing more than 

 varieties. 



Yar. C. adima, Moore, differs as follows : — 3 . The blue band 

 on the upperside of the hind wing entirely wanting or with only 

 a few detached terminal spots posteriorly ( = Eut7ialia Jchasiana, 

 Swinh.). — 2 resembles the $ of the typical form, or it sometimes 

 has the area between the discal and postdiscal series of markings 

 on both fore and hind wings paler than the ground-colour of the 

 rest of the wings, gradually changing into dusky white towards 

 the costal margin of the fore wing. 



Var. sedeva, Moore. — S • Similar to the <$ of the typical form, 

 but the ground-colour on the upperside paler, the discal and post- 

 discal series of markings on the fore wing closer together (this is 

 variable), and the intervening ground-colour slightly paler than 

 on the rest of the wing. — 5 either resembles the $ of the typical 

 form or, as in var. adima, has the area between the discal and 

 postdiscal series of markings distinctly paler, merging into two 

 large dusky-white subcostal spots on the fore wing. 



Race julii, Bougainville =a?iphiones, Butler, is the Southern form, 

 and differs from typical C. appiades as follows : — tf . Upperside 

 hind wing : the blue terminal band invariably very much broader.
