Description from Seitz

C. 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]
