Imago. — <£$. Antenna above milky-white shading into 

 pink basad ; palpus orange -buff, third segment pale olive ; 

 head deep green, patagia bordered with silver-grey and 

 with an obsolescent orange streak in the centre ; centre of 

 thorax pale pinkish-grey. Abdomen : basal two segments 

 deep green, rest of abdomen slightly paler and more olive-, 

 mixed here and there with bronze ; dorsum with two broad 

 pinkish silver-grey lines, within which are two narrow hair-lines 

 of the same colour and a broad median band dark green on 

 basal one-third and bronze for rest of its length ; anal tuft 

 olive -green mixed with grey. Fore wing : ground-colour 

 pinkish buff-grey, basal half below stigma rosy-pink ; basal 

 one-fifth of costa and basal three-fifths of wing above median 

 vein dark green, within which is a black stigmatic dot. 

 Below the green area from inner margin to costa before apex 

 run two indistinct, partially obliterated, faint olive oblique 

 lines ; from inner margin beyond these to apex a heavy double 

 oblique dark green band, and beyond this and between it and the 

 termen several ill-defined waved dark green lines and cloudings ; 

 Hind wing : basal half irregularly black, rest of wing pale 

 pinkish-buff suffused with black, w^hich suffusion forms a broad 

 outer terminal band, leaving tornal half of disc almost without 

 suffusion. Expanse : £ 74-96 mm., 2 108 mm. 



Hab. W. Himalayas (Mussooree ; Dharmsala ; Simla). 

 We have bred the subspecies in the first two localities 

 mentioned, at an elevation of about 7,000 feet. The larvse 

 are common in some years, very rare in others. 



The early stages closely resemble those of C. I. lineosa, 

 but the larva and pupa are smaller. The description of the 

 green form of the larva in the 5th instar in ' The Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History,' v, no. 30, 1920, p. 481, is 

 incorrect, owing to an error on our part. There is a dark- 

 coloured form only in the 5th instar. 



Habits. — Food-plant : Vitis Linn., family Ampelidese. 

 Habits the same as others of the genus.
