Wet-season form. — 3 . Upperside rich tawny with the following 

 black markings : — Fore wing : a narrow band along the disco- 

 cellulars ; three transverse spots in the interspaces beyond ; a spot 

 at the base of interspace 3, short transverse slender lines in con- 

 tinuation of it in interspaces 1 and 2 ; the three spots beyond the 

 apex of cell in echelon forward of the last-mentioned three mark- 

 ings ; a postdiscal transverse series of lunules inwardly diffuse in 

 interspaces 5 and 6, obsolescent in interspace 1 ; the apex and 

 termen broadly black, the latter coalescing with an obscure sub- 

 terminal transverse lunular line and enclosing a series of detached 

 obscure lunules of the tawny ground-colour. Hiud wing : the 

 markings dusky black, very similar to those in the hind wiug of 

 C. miihila ; the white subcostal patch on the outer margin of the 

 discal line as in that form, but more prominent, the costal margin 

 beyond it to apex broadly fuliginous grey. Underside dark 

 ochraceous tawny suffused with purplish ; basal area with some 

 short, transverse, slender dark lines, the discocellular transverse 

 streak on the fore wing as on the upperside ; a prominent, trans- 

 verse, white discal band across both fore and hind w T ings, very 

 broad at costa of fore wiug, narrowing to the dorsum ; similarly 

 but not quite so broad at costa of hind wing and narrowing to the 

 dorsum ; its inner margin sinuous, its outer margin straighter, 

 both denned, but very obscurely, by dark lines ; faint lunular 

 markings beyond on the terminal half of both wings as in all the 

 forms of the genus ; the black spots in the transverse discal series 

 on the hind wing very small. Antennae brown ; head and abdomen 

 more or less fulvous tawny, thorax with bright pale green pubes- 

 cence ; beneath pale ochraceous. Sex-mark : the veins on the 

 upperside of the disc of the fore wing black ; veins 5, 6 and apical 

 portion of 7 with very narrow short bands of specialized scales on 

 each side ; no such scales on the hind wing. — $ . Upperside similar, 

 the black edging to the apex and along the termen conspicuously 

 broader, as are all the dark markings ; the special <S sex-marks of 

 course absent. Underside similar ; ground-colour paler, more 

 ochraceous, not suffused with purplish, the markings similar to 

 those in the 3 , but the inner margin of the discal band more than 

 sinuous, zigzag ; the band on the fore wing much attenuated at all 

 the veins below vein 5, on the hind wing narrower than in the $ . 

 Antennse, head, thorax and abdomen as in the $ . 



Dry-season form. — Similar to the wet-season form, but on the 

 upperside the ground-colour is a shade duller and paler, the 

 markings very slightly more restricted and of a dusky black. On 

 the underside the purplish suffusion is generally restricted to the
