 Early stages not known. 



Hab. North India ; Malay Peninsnla ; Java ; Borneo ; occnrring doubtless 

 also in the interjacent countries. 

 Three subspecies :

 (Sikhim, 3,000 ft., vii.). 



*B(isiami supei-ha Moore, I.e. 



S ? . The oblique olive-brown band across the forewing is nearly straight ; tlie 

 deep red postdiscal band of the hind wing e.xtends to M"; the lines of the underside 

 of the forewing are at least partly red ; the median line of the hindwing below is 

 curved ; the obliijue apical line of the forewing above is white bordered witli 

 blackish brown. 



Hab. North India : Sikhim ; Assam. 



In the Tring Museum 9 cJc?, 5 ? ? from : Sikhim ; Khasia Hills. 



b. C. rubricosa piepersi. 



* Metujiastes piepersi Snellen, Tijilschr. Ent. xxiii. Vcrsl. p. 22 (1880) (Java, Kerdirie ; — coll. Snellen). 

 Chinis jueprrsi, Kirby, Cut. Lep. Het. i. p. 702. n. 2 (1892) (Java). 



S. Tiie differences between this form and the preceding are not very con- 

 spicuous. The stigma of the forewing is barely vestigial, the deep red band of 

 the hindwing becomes black between M^ and M-, the under surface is more yellow 

 than in riibr. rubricosa, the lines are far less red. 



Hab. Java. 



In the collection of Mr. Snellen ; also in the Stockholm Museum and the 

 Staudinger collection. 



c. C. rubricosa, amamla subsp. nov. 



(??. The (ibliqne band across the forewing, above, distinctly angnlate at M", 

 the costal ])ortion having a less longitudinal direction than in the two preceding 

 forms ; the stigma is represented by a minute dot, the second discal line is very 

 feebly dentate, while the first and third are not dentate ; the obli(jue apical line is 



black, with just an indication of white scaling. Hindwing : the black postdiscal 



patch of piepersi is here accentuated and enlarged, reaching from M- beyond M' 

 halfway to K'' ; the interspace between the second and third distinct anal lines 

 widened between M- and SM- to a conspicuous white spot. 



Underside yellow, the lines not bright red, but brown, the lines of the hindwing 

 not curved, the first touching cell. 



Hab. Borneo ; Malay Peninsula. 



In the Tring Museum 1 S from Kina Balu, N. Borneo (type) ; 1 ? from Mt. 

 Tahan, Malay Peninsula (Waterstradt). 



The ? somewhat resembles piepersi ; it represents possibly a sejiarate 

 subspecies.
