Description from Seitz
editC. cercyon Nicev. (59e) has the markings quite similar to [saka Moore form of Calinaga buddha] -, but the ground is yellowish; moreover, the position of the distal spots of the forewing is somewhat different, so that we apparently have to do with a distinct species.— West China: Ta-tsien-lu.[2]
