 Sypna rubrifascia, Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 24 ; C. $ 8. no. 2526. 



Differs from cyanivitta in being dark red-brown. Fore wing 

 with the subbasal line white ; the ante- and postmedial lines double, 

 slightly waved, and white, the former curved, the latter forming a 

 straight line with the white-edged reniform, the excurved portion 

 beyond the cell being almost obsolete ; a white speck in cell ; some 

 white scales on the marginal specks. Underside as in omicronigera. 



Typical curvilinea has the area between the ante- and post- 

 medial lines of fore wing suffused with bluish white, except the 

 costal portion and a patch on inner margin beyond the antemedial 

 line ; in rubrifascia the apical area of fore wing, the area beyond the 

 postmedial line, and usually the line itself are suffused with bright 

 rufous ; in a Dalhousie specimen the ante- and postmedial lines 

 are not waved.

Differs from cyanivitta in the ante- and postmedial lines of fore 

 wing being double, the former straight and almost medial, the 

 latter slightly excurved round cell. Hind wing with an ill-defined 

 fuscous submarginal band with some ochreous scales on it. Under- 

 side as in omicronigera. 



In rectilinea the ante- and postmedial double lines are white, 

 the latter forming a straight line with the white edges of the reni- 

 form ; in Jcirbyi these lines are olive-grey, with olive-grey suffusion 

 between them. A Naga specimen is very dark.
