Chitoria modesta is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic that belongs to the browns family.

The hindwing bears a dark edge to the outer margin and a feebly marked submarginal row of spots.

Beneath paler, the basal half of both wings somewhat darkened, these spots with sharply defined S-shaped edges, otherwise the light spots as above, the ocelli with blue centre, at the distal margin of both wings a narrow dark shadowy band and indistinct submarginal spots.

; we cannot see any close affinity; but we learn from this remark by Oberthür that phaeacia, an Indian species, extends northward to Tse-kou (Tibet).
