Description from Seitz
C. thyrsis Fn-. (48 e). Nearest to the preceding [C. vaucheri], but the apical ocellus not particularly large; the 5 dots at the distal margin of the hindwing very minute. On the underside much less variegated and contrasting than vaucheri; the apex of the cell not white; the dirty white distal portion of the hindwing reduced to a pale band on account of the distal margin being broadly dark. — In Candia, in May and June.Seitz, A. ed.
