Ch. callima B.-Bak. (= oxyporphyris Prout). (17 c). Hindwing with abdominal margin longer than 
in the preceding group. Uniform dull purple, with minute cell-dots (that of the hindwing white) and slender 
dark postmedian; the slight dark marginal line touches the termen at apex of forewing only, the bright yellow 
of the fringes encroaches slightly on to the wings elsewhere. British New Guinea (type) and Dutch New Guinea 
(type of oxyporphyris). 
C. autarces sp. n. (17 d) is another species with simple pattern and the narrow yellow terminal border 
not interrupted in the middle, but deviates from abhadraca in the opposite direction to callima, the termen 
inclining toward convexity rather than concavity. A little larger than the neighbouring species (about 26 mm); 
ground-colour reddish, the forewing to just over 1 ' 2 , the hindwing to just under, the rest — as far as the yellow 
border — almost uniformly suffused with violet-grey, the boundary between the two colours straight. Under¬ 
side similar, but rather paler and duller. Paloe, W. Celebes: Gunong Tompoe, 2700 feet, February 1937 (J. P. A. 
Kalis), 1 $ in the Tring Museum. If the $ has the antenna pectinate, it may well be related to altegradia. 
Ch. olearia Guen. (= olenaria Walk.) (15 g). Apex of forewing almost as acute as in conspicuaria, termen 
somewhat less oblique, appreciably curved; cell-mark of hindwing longer, more angular. The type, a 2, has 
some yellow mottlings and such can also occur in the <$. — ab. cerasina Swinh., founded on a from Ganjam 
(not “Ceylon” as published) is almost uniform pink (excepting the cell-marks), though some slight markings 
remain outside the cell of the fore wing. I do not know this form in the $. More or less name-typical olearia 
(embracing these two forms) has a wide distribution in India and is recorded from Hainan. - ecteles subsp. 
7iov. (17 d) is still more uniformly pink or vinaceous, only with the cell-marks and faint traces on both wings 
(at least anteriorly) of a punctiform postmedian. Tambora, Sambawa, 5 in the Tring Museum, misidenti- 
fied by Warren as croceomarginata ; as they do not vary, it is safe to assume that they represent a geogra¬ 
phical race. 
Ch. eumeles Turn, is unknown to me, but may well be another form of olearia. Probably near ecteles 
(17 d) but with the apex of the forewing rounded, ground-colour strigulated with yellow (except the costal 
margin to %). no white cell-mark on hindwing; no mention is made of a deepened vinaceous terminal line. 
Cape York, 2 
Ch. croceomarginata Warr. Readily distinguishable from ecteles by the cell-marks, which on both wings 
are small (on hindwing punctiform and white, finely dark-ringed); no postmedian dots visible; ground-colour 
rather more purple, at the first median projecting a point into the pale yellow border, recalling the African 
rosina (Vol. 16, pi. 6 b) except that it is not here darkened. S. Java, type; also Sumatra. 
Ch. phrureta sp. n. Still more like rosina (Vol. 16, pi. 6 b) both in shajie and in the thick (very dark 
purple-grey) terminal line; forewing with termen strongly bent in the middle, becoming extremely oblique, 
almost as in cruoraria and inundata , hindwing more bent than in croceomarginata but less than in the two last- 
named. Somewhat more dulled with grey than ecteles; cell-dot of forewing black, of hindwing as in croceomarg¬ 
inata ; indications, especially on forewing, of curved grey median and postmedian lines (very weak, but not 
very slender); posterior half of terminal line somewhat crenulate. Selangor: Bukit Kutu, 3500 feet, at light, 
14 April 1926 (H. M. Pendlebury), type <$ in the British Museum, presented by the Federated Malay States 
Museums. 
Ch. comptaria Walk. (17 d). Dull purple, a trifle darker than callima; not reddish except where the 
ground-colour meets the yellow borders. The latter broaden at the apex of the forewing and are irregular on 
the hindwing, in part irrorated with red; hindwing with a very small white cell-dot. Borders beneath paler 
and without red irroration. Described from Singapore; known also from Penang, Sarawak, Bali, Celebes and 
Luzon, but always rare. - pulverimargo Prout. Rather larger, with relatively broader borders, their dark 
sprinkling less reddish and more regularly distributed. Type from Kumusi River, British New Guinea. 
Ch. dysmothauma Prout (17 e, $). A beautiful little species, especially in the The yellow border 
of the forewing broadened, the rest, in the with varied purple-grey shades, a bright rufous suffusion in cell and 
at base of costa; cell-dot of hindwing white-pup filed. The <$ is rather smaller, the red part of the forewing still 
brighter and more extended than in the figured followed posteriorly by a blackish patch, the hindwing 
blackish proximally. then rosy. Koung, near Kinabalu (the $ type), Selangor and Singapore. splendens 
2 -form. nov. (? sp. div.). Yelloiv borders extended to % or 2 / 5 wing-length, brightened with red irroration and 
strigulation; forewing with a red subbasal and a red median band, not sharply defined, separated by some 
yellow, the median containing the black cell-spot, only a basal patch dark; hindwing dark to beyond the white 
cell-dot, then narrowly red. Singapore (H. N. Ridley), 2 $9 111 the British Museum. 
Ch. philoterpes sjn n. (17 d) perhaps represents dysmothauma on Celebes, though the yellow colour is 
greatly predominant. Body above largely suffused with dull purplish, the thorax darkest. Wings with scat-
