 fuliginous scales. Thorax entirely clothed with crimson pubes- 

 cence. Underside : ground-colour of hind wing purplish or a sort 

 of sepia-brown.

 Assam.

S. Upperside resembles C. buddha, but the ground-colour is 

 darker, the white markings more diffuse, those in the cell and 

 interspace 1 of the fore wing thickly irrorated with fuliginous 

 scales, the spots at bases of the interspaces beyond the apex of the 

 cell in both fore and hind wings are diffusely produced up to the 



discal spots in those interspaces ; the 

 discal and postdiscal series of spots 

 are much as in C. buddha, but there 

 are on the fore wing indications also 

 of a terminal series of whitish spots. 

 On the hind wing the disposition of 

 the white markings is similar to that 

 in C. buddha, but the posterior half 

 of the dorsal margin and the tornus 

 are suffused with bright ochraceous 

 yellow. Underside fore wiug: the 

 white markings and spots as on the 

 upperside, but more clearly defined 

 and tinged with blue, the apex of the 

 p- g3 wing very broadly and the terminal 



Calinaga sudassana, 3 . f. margin dull ochraceous purple. Hind 



wing entirely suffused with ochraceous 

 purple, the white markings of the upperside faintly indicated 

 except the upper discal series of four elongate spots and the 

 postdiscal series of six rounded spots, which are tolerably distinct ; 

 the ochraceous yellow on the tornal area showing through by 

 transparency. Antennae, head and abdomen black, thorax entirely 

 covered with crimson pubescence ; beneath, the palpi, thorax 

 and abdomen dull black, the sides of the thorax with crimson 

 pubescence. 



Exp. 6 94-108 mm. (3-67-4-25"). 



Hob. Recorded from Siam, and the hills of Upper and Lower 

 Burma.
