towards costa, excurved on veins -1, 5, then inwardly oblique, followed by three indistinct obliquely waved 



lines: subterminal line pale, denticulate, with rufous shades on each side; upper stigmata large, conversely 



oblique, and confluent below, with pale annuli: hindwing pale rufous, suffused, except along costa, with 



dark brown: a dark outer line beyond cellspot, and a pale rufous subterminal line. In the $ the forewing, 



except in the costal half of outer area, is suffused with purplish-grey especially the terminal area, so that 



the lines are obscured. — ab. derufata ab. nov. (= ab. 1. Hmps.) has the thorax and forewing grey instead of derufata. 



rufous, with brown irroration, the cell and median area below it dark chocolate brown. Madeira.

C. beatrix Btlr. (= pallens Oberth.) (44 a). Forewing ruddy ochreous with a slight olive tint; the beatrix. 

 outer area, especially beyond cell, paler; a triangular olive green patch on inner margin before inner line, 

 which is pale and oblique; the median area dark olive green, except along costa; the outer line double, 

 the arms far apart, both toothed on vein 5, the inner arm distinct in upper half, the outer in lower; sub- 

 marginal line wavy, rufous ochreous, preceded and followed, except at apex above vein 6, by olive green 

 shades: upper stigmata pinkish green with paler annuli, confluent above median vein; the reniform exter- 

 nally and below edged with black scales which are continued obliquely to join a black streak running from 

 apex of the inner green triangle to middle of median area along the submedian fold, marking the lower 

 edge and extremity of the claviform; hindwing yellowish ochreous with greenish fuscous dusting; a similar 

 cellspot, outer line, and terminal band, traversed by the waved pale submarginal line. Japan and Amur- 

 land: Oberthur's pallens from Askold Island. — A single $ from St. Olga Harbour, S. Ussuri, ab. caesia vavsiu. 

 ab. nov. (44b), lias no rufous suffusion at all, only a slight pink tinge in the stigmata and in basal area; 

 all the olive green shading strongly mixed with slate-colour, especially along costa and termen. 



C. subpurpurea Leech (44 b). Forewing olive brown along costa and in cell; the rest of wing irro- sub V ur ~ 

 rated with violet scales; the veins finely black; a small, deep fulvous, triangular patch on inner margin 

 near base; inner and outer lines treble, the two inner filled in with violet, sinuous, and confluent above 

 inner margin, enclosing below median vein a fulvous claviform stigma and a deep chocolate brown band 

 from below it to below reniform; upper stigmata large with violet annuli and olive centres, the reniform 

 interrupted in middle by a rich fulvous shade which extends, but more faintly, between veins 4 and 6 as 

 far as submarginal line, which, below vein 7, is preceded by a rich brown and followed by a deep purple 

 shade: the dark purple terminal area dusted, especially at apex, with blue scales; hindwing dull rufous 

 ochreous, the veins, especially vein 2, darker and more rufous; a slight outer line, and thick submarginal 

 shade before the rufous subterminal line, beyond which the terminal band is purple and grey; palpi and 

 pectus fiery fulvous tinged with purple; tibiae deep chocolate brown; tarsi cream-coloured. Described 

 originally from a <J from Ta-chien-lu, W. China; the species occurs also in the Punjab and Sikkim; the 

 above description was made from a Sikkim $. In this species the tegulae are not ridged in front.

C. olivacea Leech (44 b). Forewing golden olive-green; the costal area pale grey with brown irro- olivacea. 

 ration to outer line; the cell and median area below to submedian fold tinged with dark brown; inner 

 and outer lines waved, conversely edged with a grey band; orbicular and reniform stigmata olive at centre 

 with pale pink annuli, the former curved to join a pale semicircular spot below the median, to which the 

 latter is angled inwards along that vein; submarginal line pale and waved, the terminal area beyond it 

 brownish grey; hindwing yellowish ochreous, with darker outer line and terminal border containing the 

 pale subterminal line. Described by Leech from a single $ from Pu-tsu-fong, W. China. 



34. Genus: Habryntis Led. 



Differs from Chutapha in the antennae being lamellate, hardly pubescent; the tegulae are produced 

 into a slight ridge in front; the dorsal crests are formed of hairs only, instead of hairs mixed with scales. 

 — Larva as in Trigonophora, feeding on Ferns and hybernating. Type Habryntis scita Hbn. 



H. scita Hbn. (44 c). Forewing whitish ochreous washed with pale green; median area deep green; scita. 

 a deep green triangular patch on inner margin between base and inner line, external^ diffuse; costa and 

 outer margin pale green; median vein across median area and the base of veins 3, 4 ochreous; upper 

 stigmata large, confluent below, conversely oblique; the orbicular of the pale ground-colour, the reniform 

 dark green, inwardly edged with ochreous, outwardly with thick black scales; outer line double, greenish, 

 both arms angled on vein 5; submarginal line pale, preceded by a green shade, which below vein 7 

 contains a black green spot; hindwing ochreous tinged with greenish, with a dull green terminal border 

 containing a pale subterminal line; — ab. olivacea Spul. and ab. flavescens Spul. are forms in which the ?j*^^ s 

 ordinary dull green coloration becomes olive brown and yellowish green respectively, the latter being a
