APPENDIX. .147 



This species is here perhaps best described by n differeutial comparison with C. lo.iani 

 {anted, p. 170) :— 



Male. Allied to C. hn/ani, but wanting the large suhquadratc wliite spots between the first and tliir.l 

 median nervules of the anterior wings ; the black margin to the i)(>Kterior wings is narrower, and is i-recedf.l 

 by a linear black macular fascia, and the ni.-nginal lumilate linear s2'ots are much brighter in C. bihlix. 

 On the under surface of the wings the pale fasciic are narrower and more regular than in C. ln<jaiii. 



Female. Wings paler and more ochraceous than in male. 



Exp. wings, (? & 2 , 62 to 85 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India; Sikkim (de Nic.) ; Cachar (coll. Dist.) ; Darjeeling (Horsf. & Moore).— 

 Malaj' Peninsula ; Perak (Kiinstl. — Calc. Mus.). 



Mr. de Niceville, who has had more thau tlie usual experience of collecting in Sikkim, 

 remarks :— " The rich red of its upper surface with a long violet reflection makes this species 

 one of the handsomest insects on the wing I know." * 



Genus CIRKOCHROA {antra, p. 177). 

 6. Cirrochroa rotundata {antca, p. 181). (Tab. XLL, tig. 12 2 ). 



Since enumerating this species I have received an undoubted female specimen, which 

 I have here figured (Tab. XLI., tig. 12). It is thus apparent that Mr. Butler mistook the sex 

 of his type specimen (which I previously flgured— Tab. X., flg. 10), and that it was the male sex. 

 As I followed the error, the correction will l)e, (Tab. X., lig. 10 <? ; Tab. XLL, fig. 12 ? ). 

 Additional Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Penang (Biggs — coll. Dist.). 



Genus PADUCA {ta foUaw Cirrochroa). 



Piuliica, Moore, List Lep. Mergui Archipel. Jouru. Liuu. Soc. 1886. 



Mr. Moore, who has just proposed this genus, and given me the above reference to its 

 forthcoming publication, has also favoured me with the following diagnosis :— 



" Male. Wings narrower than in Cirrocliroa, fore wings more triangular in form ; fourth subcostal 

 further from the third ; disco-cellular inwardly oblique ; two upper medians at a short distance beyond the 

 cell. Venation of hind wings very similar, the inner submedian straighter. Antennte with a much stouter 

 and shorter terminal club ; palpi narrower." 



■'Type. P.fasciata."

 Druce, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1873, p. 342, a. 3. 



Male and Female. Wings above dark brown ; anterior wings with the following pale stramineous 

 markings : — a moderately broad discal, oblique fascia, commencing between the two upper median nervules 

 and terminating on inner margin, two spots a little beyond end of cell, a submarginal scries of spots, the 

 uppermost situate between the discoidal nervules, and the lowermost with an inner blackish spot, these 

 are followed by an outer series of lunules, which margin the innermost of two dark fasciiE ; posterior 

 wings with an oblique discal fascia continuous to that on upper wings, an outer discal macular fascia
