; cilia checkered by yellow and brown; underside as upperside, with the spots of the hindwing defined but slightly paler.
MALE GENITALIA. Tegumen with two lateral processes pointed at tip; uncus bifid; valva with a long and slender costal process, strongly curved inwards; cuiller broad and protruded; aedeagus as long as valva, with two cornuti; saccus broad in ventral view, equal to tegument in length.
DISTRIBUTION.
China
(
Guizhou
,
Yunnan
); North
Vietnam
.
REMARKS. Hind wings of the specimens collected in May and June in
China
often exhibit reduced wing patterns (
Fig. 1
), similar to that of the
type
materials occur in
April in North
Vietnam
(
Devyatkin, 2003
).
However
, wing markings of the individuals appeared in
September
and
October
in our collection are more developed (
Fig. 2
).
Therefore
, we conclude that
C. victor
should be a multivoltine species across its known distribution range with seasonal variation in wing patterns
.

We would like to express sincere thanks to Mr. Huang Hao for providing literature, to Dr. Hu Shaoji for critical reading the primary manuscript, to Dr. Xue Guoxi (School of Food and Bioengineering, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry) for giving some valuable suggestions, as well as to two anonymous reviewers for constructive recommendations.
