de Nicéville, 1891; J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 6 (3): 344, pl. F, f. 3

C.  kirata  may  be  known  from  specimens  of  C.  arcesilaus,  Fabricius, from  all  the  localities  from  which  I  have  received  the  latter  (many parts  of  Assam  and  the  Malay  Peninsula,  Java,  and  Borneo)  by  the much  greater  breadth  of  the  deep  brown  bands  of  the  underside, these  becoming  quite  lost  in  the  dark  anal  half  of  tht  hindwing ;  in C.  arcesilaus  the  hindwing  is  concolorous  throughout,  and  the  bands (which  are  so  narrow  as  to  be  lines  rather  than  bands)  are  plainly visible  throughout  their  course.



AZ: In my specimens the hair pencil at the base of HWR is about twice as broad as in F. canens arcesilas. It is also a darker brown color, as opposed to ochreous-yellow in F. canens arcesilas.
