Upperside resembles C. buddha, but the ground-colour is darker, the white markings more diffuse, those in the cell and interspace 1 of the fore wing thickly irrorated with fuliginous scales, the spots at bases of the interspaces beyond the apex of the cell in both fore and hind wings are diffusely produced up to the discal spots in those interspaces ; the discal and postdiscal series of spots are much as in C. buddha, but there are on the fore wing indications also of a terminal series of whitish spots. On the hind wing the disposition of the white markings is similar to that in C. buddha, but the posterior half of the dorsal margin and the tornus are suffused with bright ochraceous yellow. Underside fore wiug: the white markings and spots as on the upperside, but more clearly defined and tinged with blue, the apex of the p- g3 wing very broadly and the terminal Calinaga sudassana, 3. f. margin dull ochraceous purple. Hind wing entirely suffused with ochraceous purple, the white markings of the upperside faintly indicated except the upper discal series of four elongate spots and the postdiscal series of six rounded spots, which are tolerably distinct; the ochraceous yellow on the tornal area showing through
