 " Wings above rufous brown ; anterior wings with four discal greyish-white spots, one largest and 

 sublunate in cell, a smaller spot above it and two beneath cell divided by the second median 

 nervule, obscure dark fasciae ; posterior wings with discal and outer marginal dark fascias. 

 Wings beneath as above, but slightly paler. Body and legs more or less concolorous with 

 wings.

The female (hitherto unnoticed) is rounder in the Aving than the male, and 

 the spots on primaries are subdiaphanous white. 



Occurs fairly commonly in Western China at Chia-kou-ho, Wa-slian, and 

 Ta-chien-lu. 



None of the Western Chinese specimens that I have seem to agree exactly 

 with those from Sikkim ; they are more suffused and, as a rule, considerably 

 larger. The most typical example in my Chinese series of C. dan is one 

 taken by myself at Foochau in April. 



From Moupin, Wa-ssu-koAv, and Pu-tsu-fong I have received a form which 

 differs so considerably from the type that I describe it as : — 



Var. dea, var. nov. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 10, .) Larger than the type. Primaries uniformly 

 darker ; all tlic hyaline spots much larger, exhibiting a tendency to become confluent ; sub- 

 apical spots elongate and placed obliquely ; sometimes there are one or two small spots below 

 the suhapical three. Under surface much brighter than in typical C. dan. The yellow 

 transverse bands on secondaries much more conspicuous ; primaries also more sufi'used with 

 yellow and the fringes more distinctly chequered with white. 



Expanse 48 millim. 



According to Elwes C. dan is common in Sikkim up to 4000 feet from 

 March to ()ctol)cr.
