" Expands from 1-10 to 1*15 inch. "Wings dull brown. The fore wings in the male are usually 
imiform brown. Hind wings with a submarginal row of orange spots, four in number, and 
with black centres. Underside : fore wings brown ; hind margin reddish, with a row of small

C. hero is a common species in Central Europe, Scandinavia, and Livonia ; 
according to Mr. Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 909) it is also found 
at Raddefskaia and on the Ussuri in Amurland. 
Var. perseis is larger than the type, and the white markings on the under 
surface are more strongly defined. It occurs in the Altai, and I found this 
form of C. hero common at Gensan, Corea, in July 1886. M. Oberthiir 
records it from the Isle of Askold (Etud. d'Ent. v. p. 17), and Mr. Elwes (I. c.) 
says that he has received specimens from Amurland.
