their inner margins black, and the median ochraceous transverse 

 band on the hind wing is tinged with vermilion. — $ . Upper side 

 differs from upperside in C. cyane 2 as follows : — the oblique 

 white bar on the fore wing broadly interrupted just beyond apex 

 of cell, the hind wing less spotted on the disc, and the black 

 terminal margin to both fore and hind wings without the white 

 <-shaped marks. On the underside the difference between the 

 females of the two forms is similar to the difference between the 

 males.

c? . Closely resembles C. cyane. Upperside differs in the 

 greater and more uniform extent of black on the fore wing, the 

 greater width of the black terminal border on the hind wing, the 

 almost complete obsolescence of the lunular white terminal 

 markings on both wings, and in the oblique white bar on the fore 

 wing being slightly ochraceous, the veins crossing it white, not 

 black, and the black spot in interspaces 3 and 4 absent. On the 

 underside the red is of a duller ochraceous not vermilion tint, the 

 outer white band on both wings is wanting, the inner and outer 

 ochraceous bands on the hind wing are merged to form one 

 prominent broad subterminal band, marked with an inner marginal 

 and a median row of small black spots, and an outer row of short 

 transverse black bars in the interspaces. — The 2 ^ altogether 

 different from the 2 of. C. cyane. It resembles its own c? , but 

 on the upperside the fore wing is almost entirely black, the tawny- 

 yellow ground-colour occupying only the middle of interspace 1 a, 

 extending into interspace 1, with a bluish- white diffuse spot 

 above it. On the underside it is precisely similar to the under- 

 side in the <$ .

Hah. Within our limits I procured this species in the extreme 

 south of Tenasserim, and lately Mr. Allan sent me a single male 

 caught in the Pegu Toma. Further south it occurs in the Malay 

 Peninsula. The British Museum has a specimen labelled Nepal, 

 but this locality is open to doubt.
