C. obliquilineata Hmps. (16 g) is distinguished by the very oblique middle transverse lines. Antennae obliquili- 
carmine, terminal joint of the palp brown. At the costal margin there is before the apex a faded, blackish-brown 
spot. Sikkim. 
C. ridleyi Hmps. (16 g) has a red costal margin as far as the anterior transverse stripe and is very ridleyi. 
well distinguished by the 3 black spots at the cell-end being bordered with red; the red marginal band is inwardly 
dentate. The distal margin of the hindwing is almost straight and the proximal angle somewhat produced. 
Singapore. 
C. amabilis Moore is somewhat smaller than the preceding which it otherwise resembles very much; amabili *. 
the 3 cell-spots are quite red without any traces of a black pupil, and the two distal ones almost united; the C, 
exhibits only one red discal spot. Andamans and Nicobars. 
C. effracta Wkr. (16 g). The forewing is of a yellowish tint, the transverse lines are partly interrupted e/jrcu/n. 
and of an orange-yellow colour; in the middle of the cell there is one small orange spot, at the cell-end there 
are three. -— Nepal, Sikkim, Burma. 
C. unipunctata Elwes differs from the similar species by the lower median vein of the forewing beneath nmpnwia- 
showing a long-haired scent-scale stripe. The wings are white with 4 red transverse stripes; the antemedian 1,1 ■ 
stripe exhibits in the in the cell a continuation extending to the cell-end; at the cell-end a red dot, in the 
9 a black dot; the posterior transverse line runs very obliquely to the anal angle. Loochoo (Japan). 
C. pusilla Wil. whitish, thinly scaled with a reddish marking; forewing with 4 transverse lines, jnisilla. 
the first not reaching the proximal margin; a submarginal line is indicated by 3 spots, at the margin there is 
a narrow and interrupted line; in the cell a spot and two at the cell-end; the sexual mark is above and beneath 
well developed, hindwing with a small spot at the cell-end. The $ is marked lighter. $ 18, $ 22 mm. 
Very closely allied to effracta Wkr. of which it may be a local form. Kanshirai in Formosa, taken in April 
and May. 
C. obscura Hmps. (16 g) differs from all the other species by the dull brown ground-colour; the forewing obscura. 
exhibits 4 dentate, purple-black transverse lines, the two proximal ones of which are ver 3 r close together; at 
the cell-end there are 3 black dots. In the $ the distal one of the two anterior transverse lines is stronger and 
floAvs together with the cell-spot. Queensland. 
C. rufistigma Rothsch. from British North Borneo, described according to a $, has a white head and rufistigma. 
thorax, the collar and shoulder-covers being banded with brick-red; abdomen rusty-coloured. The white forewing 
shows 4 brick-red transverse stripes, in the cell a brick-red spot and a darker discal dot. Hindwings yellowish 
salmon-coloured. 
C. flavalba Rothsch. has brown antennae, a white head and thorax, the collar and shoulder-covers flavalba. 
banded yellow; the abdomen is of a light grey. The forewing exhibits the usual 4 transverse lines yellow, and 
at the cell-end black dots. The hindwings are white. Penang. 
C. pudens Wkr. (= perversa Btlr.) (16 g) is one of the smallest species, white with the 4 usual red pudens. 
transverse lines; palpi, antennae, and a dot on the vertex are scarlet, at the cell-end 3 red clots. Sarawak. 
C. formosana Hmps. is considerably larger, the outside of the palpi, the inside of the anterior tibiae formosana. 
and tarsi red-brown. Fore wing white with 4 red transverse lines; characteristic is the course of the broad 
posterior transverse line being strongly bent outwards between the cell-fold and submedian fold; at the cell- 
end there are also in the 2 3 black dots. Hindwings carmine. Formosa. 
C. signa Wkr. (fasciculata Wkr.) (16 g) somewhat resembles the palearctic adelina Stgr. (Vol. II, signa. 
t. 12 a), the forewing likewise shows only three red transverse stripes, the margin remains white. Hindwings 
purely white. In the £ the two black spots on the transverse vein are united, in the 2 the posterior transverse 
line is towards the costal margin not bent outwards. Assam. Burma. 
C. adita Moore (= bifasciata Pouf., walkeri Elwes) (Vol. II, t. 12 b). This species widely distributed adita. 
in Kashmir, Tibet and the Himalaya has only 2 red transverse lines, the basal one is indicated only by a small 
red costal-marginal spot; it is otherwise very much like signa ; in the $ the black discal spots are separated, 
in the $ the posterior transverse line is bent out towards the costal margin. 
C. guttifera Wkr. (= triguttata Wkr.) (Vol. II, t. 12 c) is well distinguished by the orange-yellow hind- guttifera. 
wings; also the 4 transverse lines of the forewing are orange-yellow. Distributed from India to the Andamans, 
and extending across the Himalaya as far as Kashmir in the palearctic region.
