to meet it, again becoming free and reaching the margin some distance beyond the apex of the 
cell ; second subcostal with its base nearer to the base of the first subcostal than to the base 
of the upper discoidal; third subcostal originating midway between the apices of the cell and the 
wing; middle discocellularnervule slightly outwardly oblique, concave; lower discocellular of 
the same length as the middle discocellular, slightly inwardly oblique, concave ; second median 
nervule originating some little distance before the lower end of the discoidal cell ; submedian 
nervure following the inner margin, slightly bent downwards towards its extremity. Hind 
wing : costa arched at base, then slightly concave to apex, apex acute, outer margin at first 
straight, then convex ; anal angle rounded ; costal nervure very long, sinuous, following the 
outline of the wing, ending on the margin at the apex of the wing ; first subcostal nervule 
originating some distance before the apex of the discoidal cell ; discocellular nervules nearly 
erect, concave ; second median nervule originating; immediately before the lower eud of the cell ; 
submedian and internal nervures straight. Antennce short, less than half the length of th e 
costa of the fore wing, with a large, flattened, spatulate club. Pa7j)j long, porrect, second 
joint furnished with very long bristly hairs beneath, third joint naked, acioular. Ei/es hairy. 
Head with a tuft of long hairs between the bases of the antennae. Male with no secondary

male, otherwise similar.

" Male above duU purplish black, with faint green or (in some lights) purple reflection, darker 
towards the body. Fringes alternated with black and white. 
" Beneath dull grey, with irregular darker markings, which on the hind wing coalesce into a 
blackish patch powdered with grey on the inner half of the wing.

Yar. sinensis, Elwes. (Plate XXXI. fig. 19, $ .) " Eesembles C. pontis, but has a broad border 
of a darker colour than the wings, no green reflections, and a much rounder apex to the fore 
wing. Beneath, the markings arc very similar but more continuous, and there is an outer 
band near the margin of the fore wing not found in C. piontis. The dark markings on the 
hind wing also come nearer to the margin." 
The type of 0. ])ontis was described by Mr. Elwes £fom specimens taken 
by himself " on the bridge crossing the Rangpi River on the way from 
Darjiling to Mongpo, at about 6000 feet elevation, in dense dripping 
evergreen forest." The description of var. sinensis appears to have been 
made from a specimen taken by me near Ningpo in April 1886, and also
