$ Fuscous, with a common transverse ivJiite hand and whitish hind- 
marginal spots ; bases suffused with olivaceous-grey. Forc-iving : band 
formed much as in C. Saturnus, but more widely bifid in its upper 
portion, the traversing black marks being enlarged and confluent, so 
that the inner part of the band is much narrowed, and also separated 
from the broader lower part, — its third (lowest) spot being small and 
far before the others ; a faint bluish tinge along outer edge of lower 
part of band ; hind-marginal spots somewhat suffused, inter-nervular, — 
the lowest sharply divided into two ; in discoidal cell a small whitish 
spot at the extremity. Hind-wing : band obscured and widely inter- 
rupted below first median nervule, but its termination shown by a 
whitish inner-marginal mark a little before anal angle ; white spots 
submarginal, seven, lunulate, much mixed with bluish ; beyond them, 
close to hind-margin, a lunulated bluish-white streak, running into 
both tails as a median stripe, and becoming bronzy-green close to anal 
angle ; tails rather long, the shorter one (on third median nervule) 
straight, rather acute, the other slightly curved, blunter ; a marked 
projection in the outline of the hind-margin between radial and second 
median nervules. Under side. — Pcde grey, hoary on margins, elseivhere 
tinged with brownish; before middle marlzed loith darh ferruginous strict, 
of which all those in fore-wing and a few of those in hind-wing are on 
both sides edged with fuscous. Fore-wing : upper part of white band 
wider, not so macular; in outer part of band a much broken, thin, 
black traversing streak, and along the external edge of band a series of 
black marks, inwardly edged with ochre-yellow lunules, of which the 
two lowest are large and conspicuous, the others small ; a submarginal 
row of ochre-yellow lunules (the lowest becoming fuscous), not well 
marked ; hind- marginal whitish spots small, and mostly rather indis- 
tinct ; in discoidal cell a short oblique streak near base, a spot followed 
by a similar more bent streak about middle, and a closing streak curv- 
ing outward ; along inner edge of white band a much interrupted streak 
from costa to submedian nervure ; below cell a short streak above first 
median nervule, and another (nearer base) below it. Hind-wing : band
