land, a transition on Vulcan and Dampier Islands. — callicrossa subsp. nov. Forewing with apex slightly more 
rounded than in the preceding forms, the terminal markings further enlarged, foiming regular blunt teeth be¬ 
tween the veins, the “horn” also generally broadened or enlarged, hut rather variable. Bismarck Archipelago: 
Rook, New Britain, New Ireland and New Hanover. The colour varies noticeably, but is always intermediate 
between cornuta and pisochlora. The white dorsal spot at base of abdomen, generally conspicuous in cornuta, 
is almost obsolete in this and the following form. — woodfordi subsp. nov. Shape and coloration about as in 
callicrossa , the borders more as in pisochlora , but with the contained black markings thickened; “horn” broad, 
light red, but generally containing some strong black scaling. Tulagi Island (Woodford), 8 $$ in the Tring 
Museum. The only other example known to me from the Solomons is from Nissan Island and perhaps represents 
still another race, but as 1 can see no difference excepting its pisochlora- like colour, I provisionally call it 
ab. viridescens. 
P. viridula Warr. (14 1). Somewhat longer-winged than pyrrhogona and of a bright yellow-green colour; 
borders narrow and dark, separated from the ground-colour by a slender but conspicuous white line. British 
and Dutch New Guinea. 
P. rhodometopa Prout. Borders narrower still (linear), more rosy, the line which bounds them proximally 
extremely slender, yellow; crown green, between the antennae rosy (in viridula and ruficeps red, between the 
antennae snow-white). Mount Goliath. 
P. ruficeps Warr. (14 1). Borders broader than in viridula , they and the dorsum of the abdomen much 
redder, the face almost entirely red, while in viridula the lower part is white; the line between the wing-borders 
and the ground-colour yellow, as in rhodometopa. Owen Stanley Range and Snow Mountains, New Guinea. 
P. cosmetocraspeda Prout (14 1) is doubtfully placed, as both the known examples are $$ and have 
lost their hindlegs. Possibly a Comibaena, but the palpus seems much too slender. Known by the rosy post¬ 
median dots and the white, rosy-edged terminal spots. Digboi, Assam. 
104. Genus: Chloeres Turn. 
Erected by Turner for citrolimbaria Guen. (the genotype) and a second Australian species, which 
disagree with Pyrrhorachis in shape and pattern; venation similar, the 1st subcostal of the forewing, so far 
as is known, always arising from the cell. Apparently connected with the typical African Comostolopsis, which 
was doubtless unknown to Turner, by the intermediate Indo-Australian forms which we have mentioned under 
that genus. 
Ch. citrolimbaria Guen. (= inchoata Walk., illidgei T. P. Luc.) (141). A simple bright-green species 
with pale yellow dorsal line, costal edge of forewing and fringes. Fairly common in Queensland. It has been 
reared from larvae feeding of D u b o i s i a. 
Ch. cissina Turn, is unknown to me. Face green (in citrolimbaria red on upper half or %), wing-margins 
more curved, colour more bluish green, the lines (on forewing two, on hindwing one) indicated by whitish dots. 
Founded on a $ from Killarney, Queensland. 
Ch. prasochroa Turn. Also unknown to me. 25 mm. Pectinations very long (“10”). Face pale green. 
Wings green, with distal margins probably a little less straight than in citrolimbaria; costal edge and fringes 
whitish instead of yellow; whitish lines indicated, though indistinct and very slender, on the forewing nearly 
straight, on the hindwing (postmedian only present) curved and slightly wavy; hindwing in addition with a 
whitish semilunar cell-mark, its concavity on the distal side. North Queensland: Charters Towers, 1 
Ch. quantula Swinh. (= dulcinata A. Fuchs) (14 1). Systematic position doubtful, perhaps intermediate 
towards the following in that the 1st median of the forewing is separate, that of the hindwing connate or sepa¬ 
rate. Easily known by the shape, the pale greyish-green colouring (whitish green with dense but very fine 
irroration), brown cell-dots and small brown terminal dots, which latter on the forewing continue r o u n d 
t h e a p e x. Pectinations of A very long. — ab. glareosa Swinh. has the cell-dots of the forewing somewhat 
enlarged, that of the hindwing replaced by a large, irregular blotch, quantula was described from Bombay 
and reaches Ceylon, Lower Burma and E. Sumatra; from the last-named locality it was re-described as dulci¬ 
nata Fuchs. 
105. Genus: Sfeotliela Turn. 
“Differs from Chloeres in the wide separation of veins 3 and 4 of both wings.” “Posterior tibiae with 
all spurs present, in A strongly dilated, with a groove containing a tuft of hair on inner side.” 1st subcostal 
of forewing arising from cell, anastomosing with costal and 2nd subcostal. Founded on a single species, which 
I have not seen but which, according to the description, might well be referred to our comprehensive genus 
Hemistola.
