the dorsal margin closer to the tormis than it does in C. aoris ; 

 the terminal markings are heavily denned and very distinct. 

 Underside as in C. aoris, but the ground-colour slightly darker, the 

 transverse discal band broader and, as in the S ■> of more even 

 width ; all the markings more distinct. 



Ewp. S 2 63-83 mm. (2-50-3-25''). 



Hab. Sikhim ; Behar ; Assam ; Burma ; Tenasserim ; the 

 Andamans. Extends also through the Malayan Subregion to 

 Java. 



I am unable to separate the Andaman form (C. anjira, Moore) 

 from Tenasserim specimens of this form. The next form (C. surya, 

 Moore) is, I think, quite distinct though very closely allied to 

 CJ. mithila ; the difference in certain characters is constant, and 

 its range is restricted, coinciding, however, in part with that of 

 the far more widely spread C. mithila.

Closely resembles C. mithila, but the sexes are more alike, are 

 constantly smaller, and have the apex of the fore wing produced, 

 the termen consequently conspicuously more oblique. — <$ . Upper- 

 side a brighter fulvous tawny than in C. mithila. Fore wing : 

 a short narrow dusky-black band along the discocellulars ; discal 

 markings reduced to some irregular black transverse short lines 

 beyond the cell ; the edgiug of black on the apex and termen of 

 the fore wing broad, extending diffusely to the subterminal trans- 

 verse line. Hind wing : markings similar to those in C. mithila, 

 but the transverse dark discal line much interrupted, straight or 

 slightly curved, not sinuous. Underside : ground-colour as in 

 G. mithila, the transverse discal band on fore wing comparatively 

 broader anteriorly, narrower posteriorly ; the markings similar, 

 but the tinge of purplish and the dark shading on the middle of 

 the terminal area of both fore and hind wings entirely wanting. 

 Antennae brown ; head, thorax and abdomen brownish fulvous ; 

 beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen pale ochraceous. — Female 

 resembles the g , but on the upperside the ground-colour is slightly 

 paler, the black edging to the apex and termen of the fore wing 

 broader. Underside : discal band more prominent, margined out- 

 wardly by a purplish dark line, inwardly by a slightly sinuous line 

 of an ochraceous shade darker than that of the ground-colour. 



Exp. S $ 49-63 mm. (1-95-2-5").
