Messrs. Wood-Mason and de fticeville ha^e so clearly 

 described this species that I reproduce their words — 



" Allied to C, cocks t with which it agrees almost exactly in 

 the character of the markings of the upper side, but from which it 

 differs in the pure white ground-colour, painted with different 

 Km. laa.-Cj^wto farmvm. shades of sepia-brown instead of pale ochraceous- fuscous and 



black, the black marks of C, cocks being represented by the darkest 

 of the sepia colouring, in its larger and more distinct oceEi, and in having a distinct hut pale fulvous patch 

 at the anal angle of the posterior wing; and, on the underside, in having only the lightest portions of the 

 Bepia markings absent and replaced by white or whitish,"
