Male. Wings above reddish -oehraceous, hotb wings with a broad outer marginal blackish fascia, 

 which on anterior wings is recurved and broadest at apical angle, these blackish areas possess two indistinct 

 narrow dark submargiiml fasciee and that on posterior wings is either preceded or inwardly margined 

 by a series of black spots placed between the nervules ; a very narrow and non-continuous blackish fascia 

 also crosses the posterior wings a little beyond n.-ll, which at. costal margin has an adjacent greyish spot. 

 Wings beneath much paler, crossed by a greyish fascia, as in preceding species, which is margined with 

 reddish ochraceous, and beyond which their area is distinctly darker and somewhat tinged with violaceous, 

 containing the narrow submargmal fasciae as in C. atiielliht ; the anterior wings have a greyish anbapical 

 spot, and the cell centrally crossed by a sinuated dull reddish line, which is continued beneath the median 

 nenrure, the lower disco-cellular nervule being similarly coloured ; the posterior wings have the black spots 

 margined with reddish, and the coll crossed by a sinuated dull reddish line, which extends from near the 

 costal margin to near the submedian nervure. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings ; the 

 femora, sternum, and abdomen beneath greyish. 



Female. Differs from the male above by having distinct traces of a central broad yellowish fascia on 

 the anterior wings ; the posterior wings having the outer black area narrower* leaving the. two narrow 

 waved faschn very distinct, the spots thereby appearing further removed.

Had. — Malay Peninsula; Singapore (Brit. Mus.) — Sumatra (Forbes — coil. Disk) — Java (Wallace). 



The principal variation in the forms of this species appears to consist in the breadth 

 of the onter black margin to the posterior wings, and the thereby sometime consequent 

 assimilation or fusion of the black spots.

Male. Wings above reddish-oehraeeons. Anterior wings, with the costa, a narrow transverse fascia 

 near end of cell, and the outer margin — very broad at apex — black; beyond the cell the colour is somewhat 

 paler, giving the appearance of a broad transverse fascia ; and a small ochraceous subapical spot. Posterior 

 wings with the outer area from end of cell paler, its inner area marked on each side of the subinedian 

 nervure with a lunate black linear spot, and by a similar spot above the upper subcostal nervule ; an 

 irregular series of small black spots placed between the nervules (absent between the first median and the 

 diacoidal nervules), and three waved submarginal black fascife, the outer one more or lesa fused with the dark 

 outer margin. Wings beneath pah r in hue. Anterior wings with the cell crossed by two linear darker fasciae, 

 one at its termination, the other beyond centre and extending beneath the median nervure ; a somewhat 

 violaceous area crossing wing beyond cell, broad at costa and very narrow and attenuated at inner margin ; 

 apex obscurely in hi seated, and containing two subapical greyish white spots and a marginal waved fascia, 

 the edges of which are distinctly pair- fuseouf ; beneath the third median nervule and'in front of the pale 

 fascia is an irregularly formed fuscouB spot. Posterior wings crossed by a narrow and very pale violaceous 

 • faBcia, which is distinctly narrowed and attenuated between the upper subcostal and the discoidal nervules ;
