C. corvus Fldr. (= cerinthus Flclr., odix Bsd.) (163 a, b). Dark brown, $ more chestnut brown with corvus. 
yolk-coloured fringes and a yellow oblique band in the disc of the forewing, which varies in its shape, but mostly 
begins before the cell-end and terminates before the lower median branch. $ more blackish-brown, the oblique 
band longer and hyaline. Ceram, Amboina, and Saparua. — naeviferus Mob. is a hardly different form from naeviferus. 
Batjan, which was wrongly stated to come from New Guinea. — In New Guinea, however, the species also 
occurs, though in somewhat darker specimens; this form is dissimilis Swh. — In aristippus Fruhst., from Burn, dissimilis. 
the oblique band of the forewing is always narrower and the ground of the wing around it lighter yellow. ansi WP us - 
— corippus Fruhst., from the Fergusson Is., has a lighter yellowish-brown ground-colour than dissimilis, and corippus. 
it is also beneath much lighter than in dissimilis- from New Guinea. The black cell-end of the forewing 
beneath is quite indistinct. 
C. critomedia Guer. (= cariatus Hew.) (163 b). Recognizable by the broad orange band beginning critomedia. 
in the anal angle of the hindwing, gradually leaving the margin and turning towards the costa which, how T ever, 
it does not reach. From the Aru Islands. — spliinterifera Fruhst. is smaller, with a light red ground-colour, sphinteri- 
the bands lighter, more yellow, the spots around the cell-end o.f the hindwing larger. From Cape York. — Also 1 era • 
in Waigeu a somewhat different form of this species is said to occur, which, however, has not yet been deno¬ 
minated. 
C. callixenus Hero. (163 b) is based upon a $ of a quite blackish-brown colour with a broad somewhat callixenus. 
serpentine orange band obliquely through the forewing. From the Aru Islands. — In kallima Swh. (163 b), icallima. 
from New Guinea (Milne Bay), this oblique band is broader, duller, radiating on the subcostal vein towards 
the base. To this species may belong chestnut-brown dA, without any bands, but the whole proximal part 
in both wings with a golden brown gloss, the inside of the costal fold with a bronze gloss, and the palpi tinged 
with orange; they are lying before me from Humboldt Bay. 
A 
C. porphyropis Meyr. & Low. (166 b) is evidently allied to callixenus from which it chiefly differs porphyro- 
in the C and $ being of the same colour and the apex of the hindwing being coloured yellow like the band P iS 
of the forewing. Above and beneath the same. As the costal fold in the $ is sometimes incompletely 
developed (though it may also be distinct), the species was described as Phoenicops. The beautiful species 
was discovered by F. P. Dodd on the Johnston River, in North Queensland, and flies near Kuranda in October 
and again in February, being not rare in some places. 
C. trifenestrata Fruhst., from New Pomerania, type in the Coll. Mabille, has still somewhat more trifenestra- 
pointed fore wings than the other Casyapa ; instead of the oblique band of the forewing there are 3 yellowish 
hyaline spots, one in the cell, 2 distally next to the cell. 
3. Genus: Kiiselieinoii Dhl. 
The only species of this genus possesses, like the Moths, a frenulum which induced some schematizing 
systematizers to range it with the Heterocera and to place it either to the Castniidae, or next to them as a 
separate family Euschemonidae. In fact, they are quite closely allied to the Casyapa, exhibiting quite similar 
antennae, still stouter heads, but a most variegated colouring, and above all a brightly coloured body. They 
only occur in Northern Australia where they meet some Agaristidae with similar colours. Larva similar to 
that of Phoenicops, likewise living in folded leaves. 
E. rafflesiae McL. (163 c). Wings and body velvety black, with sidphur-cokrared spots, dark red rafflesiac. 
palpi and abdominal end. Beneath the wings are covered with a colour like verdigris in the marginal parts, 
above only before the apex of the forewing. North Australia, particularly Cape York. — alba Stgr. (= rafflesiae alba. 
Frogatt nec McL., alboornatus Ollijf) is somewhat smaller and shows the spots of the wings white instead of 
yellow. Cooktown. When the imago is at rest, it keeps the wings flatly spread out. 
4. Genus: Capila Mr. 
Distinguished from Euschemon by the absence of the frenulum, from Casyapa by the still more slender 
antennal club and the absence of the costal fold of the being otherwise in the shape similar to both, but 
of a quite different colouring. As to the one (palearctic) species, cf. Vol. I, p. 331, pi. 84a; the other 
species known is: 
C. jayadeva Mr. (163 c as jajadeva), not common in Sikkim, with peculiarly radiatingly striped jayadeva. 
wings which are tinged with yellowish at the base. 
C. translucida Leech having been dealt with in the palearctic part (Vol. I, pi. 84 a) may possibly cross 
also the palearctic southern frontier and penetrate into the northern part of the Indo-Australian Region.
