C. pictipennis Btlr. (11 b) is another unmistakable species. The red markings are more extended than 
in even the most heavily marked examples of ornataria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 2 c) and include an additional one at 
midtermen of hindwing. N. India, from Kashmir to the Khasis; also from Formosa. — superornataria Oberth. 
•(Suppl. 4, pi. 1 d), from Chinese Tibet, is a slight modification of pictipennis, with some green maculation enclosed 
by the distal red (and orange-brown) markings of the hind wing. 
C. ornataria Leech has been described and figured in Vol. 4, p. 21, pi. 2 c. It is now known to me from 
several localities in W. China and has sometimes the posterior red mark of the forewing a good deal larger than 
in the specimen figured. 
C. delineata Warr. (12 e) has been briefly described in Vol. 4 (p. 20), but belongs essentially to the 
Indian Region, from the Nepal frontier through Sikkim to Bhutan. Except at the distal margin of the hindwing 
there is scarcely any red marking, but the postmedian line of both wings, after forming an acuter angle than 
in ornataria becomes thick and yellow posteriorly, sometimes with very faint proximal red edging. 
C. apicipicta Prout (Vol. 4, p. 20, pi. 3 c), from Indian Tibet, is more simply marked than delineata, but 
has a characteristic pink spot at the apex of the hindwing, accompanied by a blackening of the terminal line. 
C. striataria Leech (Vol. 4, p. 20, pi. 2 c) is the most modest species of the group, wanting even the 
terminal markings of apicipicta. W. China. 
C. chalybeata Moore (11c). Hindwing with distal margin straighter and anal angle more produced 
than in any of the preceding. Further characterized by the white cell-marks, the nearly straight white lines, 
which are rather thick and parallel, the white admixture, especially in the hindwing, and the small red and white 
spot at the anal angle of the latter. Sikkim and Bhutan. 
C. dubernardi Oberth. (Suppl. 4, pi. 1 d). Wings more rounded, with less white admixture, the cell- 
dots small and dark, the anal spot of the hindwing larger, more orange, the fringe of the hindwing spotted with 
red. Founded on 3 from Tse-kou. — rectilineata Sterneclc, founded on a single $ from Sumpanting, W. China, 
should, according to the description, deviate from typical dubernardi in having the postmedian of the forewing 
parallel with the distal margin and becoming thicker and yellower posteriorly; perhaps also in the “rose-red” 
fringe of the hindwing. Probably an aberration or (as Wehrli assumes) the normal Oberthur’s figure was 
doubtless unknown to Sterneck. 
C. latilinea Prout (= theodoraria Oberth.) (Suppl. 4, pi. 1 d). Not appreciably strigulated with white 
and further distinct from dubernardi in having a dark red terminal line, no spot at anal angle of hindwing, etc. 
W. China. 
C. swanni Prout (12 a) differs from latilinea in having the veins finely whitened, the antemedian line 
not quite so straight, the terminal line white, with minute brown dots, fringe with the brown spots weakened 
on hindwing. Kachin Hills, Upper Burma. 
C. cenocraspis Prout (12 d). Extremely like swanni. Palpus apparently a trifle shorter. Hindtibial 
process rudimentary. Antemedian line of forewing straighter, postmedian not quite so straight. Termen and 
fringe not spotted. Kachin Hills; also found in W. China. 
C. hypolampes Prout. Lines broader than in cenocraspis , more as in latilinea, but with the postmedian 
somewhat curved near costa. Fringe of forewing white, as in cenocraspis. Hindwing with a very fine white 
line close to distal margin, as in Euchloris smaragdaria or chlorophyllaria. Underside in this and the two preceding 
species with the postmedian line well developed, whereas in latilinea it is obsolete. Tibet: Vrianatong. 
C. cassidara Guen. (=- detenta Walk., discessa Walk., dentata Moore) (12 e). Nearest to the African 
species of the leucospilata group (Vol. 16, p. 14, pi. 2 e), but without definite white spots on the fringe. The 
less sinous postmedian line and the reduced markings at the distal margin distinguish it from the species which 
follow. Local in Central and North India; Joannes has recently recorded it from Tonkin. The larva, according 
to Moore, has been found on Zizyphus and Ixora. 
C. quadrinotata Btlr. inhabits the Punjab and Kashmir and has been discussed and figured in Vol. 4, 
p. 21, pi. 5 a. — - fuscidorsata Prout (= integranota Swinh. nec Hmpsn.) (11 b), from the N. E. Himalayas 
and Ceylon, differs chiefly in having dark blotches on the abdomen above. —■ pallidicincta Warr., founded on 
a single $ from Mount Gedeh, Java, seems to differ from quadrinotata in being somewhat larger and paler, with 
the spots on the wings more reddish, the very slender white postmedian line of the forewing more distally placed 
than in fuscidorsata. — meyricki subsp. nov. (= quadrinotata Meyr. nec Btlr.) has the spots on the wings 
minute, still more red than in pallidicincta, the postmedian line still nearer to the distal margin. Talaut, the 
type and another in the Tring Museum, a further paratype in the British Museum.
