?. Vaginal plate see PI. XV. f. ITj. 

 Early stages not known. 



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

 also in the interjacent countries. 

 Three subspecies : 



a. C. ruhricosa rubricosa.

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



*Basiana superba Moore, J.c. 



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

 deep red postdiscal baud of the hindwing 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 oblique apical line of the forewing above is white bordered with 

 blackish brown. 



Hub. North India : Sikhim ; Assam.

b. C. rubricosa piepersi. 



*Mflagastes jiiejiersi Snellen, Tijihdr. Ent. xxiii. VitsI. p. 22 (1880) (Java, Kerdirie ; — coll. Snellen). 

 C'limis piepersi, Kirby, Cut, Lep. Ilet. i. p. 702. n. 2 (1892) (Java). 



S. The 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 liecomes black between M' aud M", the under surface is more yellow 

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



Hub. Java. 



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

 Standinger collection. 



c. C. rubricosa (imnnda subsj). nov. 



S ? . The oblique band across the forewiug, above, distinctly angulate at M', 

 the costal jiortion having a less longitudinal direction than in the two preceding 

 ibrms ; 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 oblique ajiical 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 R' ; 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 tonching cell. 



Ilab. I'orneo ; Malay Peiunsula. 



In the Tring Museum 1 3 from Kina Balu, N. Borneo {tijiic) ; 1 ? from Mt. 

 Tahan, Malay Peninsula (Waterstradt). 



The 9 somewhat resembles piepersi ; it represents possibly a separate 

 subspecies.
