334 CAUNINDA. By W. Warren. 



inferna. C. inferna Leech. Forewing brownish grey with a violet tinge; inner line oblique, blackish, outwardly 



edged with dark brown, preceded by a black dot above inner margin: outer line blackish, very irregular, 

 resembling the profile of a human face: subterminal band blackish with serrate outer edge and a cinereous 

 suffusion beyond it; terminal band brownish with a series of dark annular marks on it; reniform stigma 

 blackish, obscurely defined, a black spot on the costa above it: orbicular lunulate, brown with darker out- 

 line; hindwing fuscous brown; an obscure blackish median line and indications of an outer: fringes in both 

 wings with a fine black line at base; underside of both wings fuscous brown with two diffuse darker lines. 

 Described from the ?, the only cf being worn. W. China. Allied to annetta Btlr., but with different markings, 

 the outer line of forewing resembling that of E. mi. 



Sect. III. All the tibiae smoothly scaled. 



propugnata. C. propugnata Leech. Forewing brownish grey tinged with violet: inner and outer bands blackish, united 



above inner margin; the inner outwardly oblique, with an inward spur towards a dot above inner margin: the 

 outer inwardly oblique, angulated on both edges; a pale spot below the cell outlined with brown is connected 

 with outer band, and emits a dark brown oblique line towards costa, touching a subquadrate dark brown spot on 

 costa, from which rises the black subterminal line, which is outwardly edged with brownish; termen 

 suffused with fuscous, and limited by a violet grey diffuse line; reniform stigma ill defined, its inner edge 

 black; orbicular a black dot; fringe mottled with fuscous; hindwing brownish fuscous, an obscure dark median 

 line: underside of forewing fuscous, the costal and terminal areas golden brown; hindwing golden brown 

 irrorated with fuscous; cell spot and outer line blackish; traces of a dusky subterminal band. W. China. 



annetta. C. annetta Btlr. (61 g). Forewing reddish grey with darker irroration; the lines and markings brown; 



inner line outwardly oblique from near base of costa to before middle of inner margin, preceded by a pale 

 line and followed by a diffuse brown shade externally obscurely limited by a brown line; outer line brown, 

 bent outwards below costa, nearly vertical from vein 8 to 6 and there followed by a deep brown costal 

 cloud, then' incurved, but forming a blunt elbow outwards on submedian fold, from which a short brown 

 bar runs obliquely to anal angle; orbicular stigma a brown ring; reniform large, rounded oblong, with brown 

 edge, followed by a diffuse brown cloud and preceded by an irregular double median line; below it and 

 touching is a large round brown-edged ring; subterminal line lunulate dentate, the teeth marked dark on the 

 veins, separated from the dark termen by a pale grey band; hindwing pale fuscous grey, paler towards termen 

 with darker outer and subterminal lines. Found in Amurlancl, China, Corea, Japan, Yesso, and Kiushiu. 



ancilla. Q m an cilia spec. nov. (61 g). Excessively like C. annetta Btlr., with which it has been hitherto confused; 



it is always smaller than that species, and the hindwings are yellowish on the upper surface, especially along 

 lermen, and more conspicuously in the cf than in the ?; the markings of the forewing are, as a rule, more 

 precise; the genitalia of the cf, teste Dr. Jordan, are very distinctly different. The species occurs apparently 

 in the same localities as annetta, but in some places, as at Gensan, it would appear to be much more abundant 

 than that species. 



laxa. C. laxa Walk. (= pavona Flclr.) (61 g). Forewing brownish grey, minutely black speckled; inner line 



inwardly oblique, from before middle of costa to 1 / i of inner margin, inwardly rather pale edged: outer line 

 finely dark, inwardly oblique and slightly curved from shortly before apex to below vein 2, almost obscured 

 in a brownish fuscous shade accompanying it to close before anal angle, while before it the ground colour 

 is much paler; below vein 2 the line runs shortly inwards, is then upcurved to touch the lower inner end 

 of the reniform, then outwardly oblique and straight to inner margin; space between inner and outer lines 

 deep velvety brown, becoming paler and diffuse above middle where it extends round the large oblique reni- 

 form with dark lateral edges; a faint wavy lunulate straight subterminal line, the inward teeth marked darker 

 on the veins, the narrow terminal space beyond it paler, but the termen itself brown; fringe brown, paler 

 at the tips: hindwing dull greyish fuscous; the terminal border broadly darker beyond a straight paler band 

 which follows the faint outer line. This Indian species is recorded by Leech from Central and Western China: 

 Mou-pin, Changyang, Ichang. Chinese examples agree with those from Sikkim in having the inner line curved; 

 lauguescens. in specimens from Assam this line is quite straight; in the ab. languescens ab. nov. (61 h) the ground colour 

 is pale fawn grey; the diffuse shading beyond the two lines and the reniform is quite pale brownish grey 

 instead of dark brown; the reniform is whitish grey, with the centre and lateral edges darker; the inner line 

 is strongly curved, while the outer is much nearer termen and almost straight, the darker terminal area 

 narrower; hindwing equally pale; underside and abdomen pale luteous whitish. Described from a single cf 

 from Sikkim, from the Elwes Collection.
