variegala. C. variegata Leech. Forewing pale ochreous with grey suffusion; basal third clouded with dark and 



limited by a curved black line; outer line obscure, oblique outwards from costa to vein 4, then abruptly bent

varipes. C. varipes Walk. (52 m). Forewing from base to outer line olive fulvous, the olive tinge stronger in 



the (J(^; terminal area pinkish, tinged with olive at apex; costa with a violaceous flush on each side of inner 

 line, which is brown, excurved from costa towards base to middle of inner margin, often obsolete; outer line 

 strongly marked, double, purplish black, filled in with pink or lilac, slightly concave outwards from before

 with olive; a dark dot in cell and another at its end; fringe olive fulvous; hindwing dull orange red, or orange 

 lilacina. yellow, paler towards base; the fringe darker; in the form lilacina ab. nov. the forewing is washed with viola-
