98 CYPHURA. By M. Gaede. 
C. bifasciata Btlr. (72 a). On the forewing the costal and distal margins, as well as the submarginal 
band of the hindwing are dark brown. Fore wing with 2 central parallel olive brown bands, the interior one of 
which is continued on the hindwing. 48—55 mm. Bismarck Archipelago, New Guinea. 
C. costalis Btlr. This and the following species differ from all the others in the dark brown subcostal 
stripe of the forewing leaving the costal margin itself white. On the hindwing the submarginal band is somewhat 
more remote from the margin. The bands in the forewing are placed just as steep. Expanse: 46 mm. Salomons. 
C. subsimilis Warr. (72 a) is very similar to costalis Btlr., but the 3 spots on the hindwing are different. 
The median spot is oval, the spot at the anal end flat, almost merged in the brown band, the exterior spot 
triangularly ending in the dent. Beneath a square spot at the apex of the forewing; discal streak absent. 
Expanse: 52 mm. Salomons Is. 
C. catenulata Warr. (72 b as geminia). Similar to bifasciata (72 a), but the dark costal and distal margins 
only half as broad, the discal margin lighter at the ends of the veins, towards the apex almost white. 
Fringe in front and behind dark. Expanse: 52—60 mm. Salomons Is. The figure denoted as catenulata on 
pi. 72 a likewise represents subsimilis. 
C. pieridaria Warr. The dark margins still narrower. Costal margin of forewing narrow with blackish- 
brown spots not quite to the apex. Distal margin narrow dark from the inner margin to vein 6, then only the 
fringe dark. Two oblique pale brown, narrow, slightly bent median lines. On the hindwing the median band 
is narrow. The dark margin extends only to the base of the tail, from there onwards pale, thin. Expanse: 
55—60 mm. New Guinea. Fergusson Is. The figure 72b denoted as pieridaria is probably a slightly deviating geminia. 
C. falka Swh. Similar to bifasciata (72 a). On the forewing the costal, distal, and median bands are 
narrow, linear, especially in the <$. Tail of hindwing shorter. The black apical spot is round, in bifasciata long. 
Expanse: 50—60 mm. New Guinea. 
C. gutturalis Sivh. Costal margin of fore wing striated and spotted blackish-brown, the ground-colour between 
white. Bands darker than in bifasciata and narrower, but broader than in falka. Head white. New Guinea. 
C. geminia (Jr. (72 b as pieridaria). On the forewing the costa and distal margin narrow and rather 
sharply outlined blackish. At the apex white, with 2 parallel brown transverse stripes. On the tail of the 
hindwing 2 large black spots. Expanse: 55—65 mm. Toeal-Key, Amboina, New Guinea. 
C. approximans Swh. Similar to geminia. Bands and margins darker. In the B the costal margin of 
the forewing is broad chocolate brown, striated black. In the $ white with dark striae. Submarginal band 
of hindwing broad brown, in the $ at the anal end faded. Expanse: 50—60 mm. Key Is. 
C. maxima Strd. (72 b). Similar to approximans, but the median bands on fore wing narrow, somewhat 
obsolete. Costal and distal margins broader than in geminia. Expanse: 56—66 mm. New Guinea. 
C. swinhoei Joic. (72 b). Similar to approximans. The dark costal margin on the forewing broader, 
especially at the apex. On the hindwing the exterior band broader; its pale posterior end almost merges into 
the median band. Perhaps only a form of maxima. Expanse: 50 mm. Waigeu. 
C. semiobsoleta Warr. Costal margin of forewing dark brown, in the middle spotted white. From the 
centre of the inner margin a straight ochreous-brown streak not quite to the median vein, on its outside a spot 
at the inner margin. In the $ the interior band extends to the costal margin, the exterior one to the centre. 
Margin dark brown. Similar to pannata Fldr. with transverse bands. Fergusson Is. reducta Joic. Fore wing 
with a narrower distal margin, only at the base broader than in the typical form. Dutch New Guinea. 
Expanse: 50—52 mm. 
C. urapteroides Joic. (72 b). Costal margin of forewing almost to the apex spotted black. The space 
on the outside of a line from % costal margin to 3 / 5 inner margin grey with an oblique band in the ground¬ 
colour. The grey marginal band of the hindwing is narrowed towards the anal end, 2 black spots on the small 
rounded tail. Expanse: 40 mm. Dutch New Guinea. 
Co pardata Warr. (72 c). Forewing creamy white. At the costal margin more or less intensely striated 
black. An olive brown very oblique interior and median band. The exterior band only at its inner edge distinct 
behind the centre of the costal margin to the anal end, distally faded. The broad black submarginal line does 
not quite reach to the apex and anal angle. Hindwing white, towards the anal angle brownish, with 5 black 
submarginal spots, a large one each before and behind vein 3, 2 small ones at the submedian fold, and one at 
vein 1. A broad submarginal stripe from vein 5 to vein 2, and a fine one close at the margin from vein 6 to 4. 
Expanse: 52—62 mm. New Guinea. 
C. semialba Warr. Forewing in the basal area white, outside greyish black. The separating straight 
line extends from before the centre of the costal margin to 4 / 5 inner margin. From y 3 costal margin a tapering 
band runs to before the middle of the inner margin, where it is indistinct. Hindwing white with a straight black 
submarginal line to close before the anal angle. Above the tail a brown shadow, below it 2 black marginal 
spots. Expanse: 35—40 mm. New Guinea. 
C. multistrigaria Warr. Fore wing white. Distal area from 3 / 5 costal margin to 4 / 5 inner margin smoky 
brown, dusted with black, at the margin paler. Costal margin above the centre of the cell striated black. 
Two narrow pale brown lines from % and 1 J costal margin to before and behind the centre of the inner margin, 
sometimes faded. Hindwing white. The blackish brown submarginal band curved at vein 4 and narrowed
