170 CHIONAEMA. By Dr. M. Dratidt. 
C. molleri Elwes (= watsoni Hmps.) (16 h) is easily recognizable by the partly interrupted, thick, 
orange-yellow transverse lines and the very strong black discal and postdiscal spots. In the 2 the transverse 
bands are uninterrupted and narrower. Sikkim, Assam, Burma. 
C. khasiana Hmps. (16 h) is somewhat like signa, but the transverse lines are broader and of an 
orange colour. Assam. 
C. flavicincta Hmps. The $ exhibits beneath below the cell a thick hair-tuft; head and thorax are 
white, palpi black, antennae red. Forewing white, with a yellow costal margin and 4 red transverse lines, the 
two middle ones bordered with black on the averted sides; at the cell-end 3 black dots; the posterior transverse 
line runs straight from the costa to the submedian fold, then it bends distally; before it there is at the costal 
margin a yellow and red spot; the marginal transverse line very much discoloured into yellow. Hindwing pink, 
fringes and costal margin yellow. Assam. 
C. quadripartita Wil. This species is rather similar to flavicincta Hmp-s., but it differs by the sexual 
spot. head and thorax white. Collar, 2 transverse.spots on the thorax and the patagial apex crimson; abdomen 
whitish, forewings white, with 3 faintly oblique, almost parallel purple bands, the antemedian band being much 
nearer to the basal one than the post median one, 3 small black spots; distal margin bordered with purple. 
Hindwings reddish, towards the base turning whitish; fringes tinted yellowish. Under surface reddish, 
proximal margin of the forewing and fringes of all the wings whitish. $ the same, except that there are here 
only 2 small black spots on the forewing and that the inner margin of the antemedian band is marked with 
black. $ 34, $ 40 mm; taken in May and August in Formosa. 
C. costifimbria Wkr. cannot be mistaken for any other species owing to the costal margin of the q 
forewing being also above greatly covered with hair-locks. Forewing white, with 4 very broad orange transverse 
bands; the posterior transverse band bifurcates towards the costal margin and is distally bordered with black 
towards the proximal margin. Hindwings yellow. Borneo. 
C. impunctata Fldr. (16 h) is distinguished by the entire absence of black discal dots. Amboina. 
C. sumatrensis Druce (16 h) is a large species, white, with 4 orange-yellow, in the $ scarlet transverse 
lines on the forewing and in the $ with 2. in the 2 with one black cell-spot. In the $ the anterior transverse 
line is continued to the cell-end, in the 9 not. It is presumed that the is usually also marked red. not yellow. 
Sumatra. 
C. selangorica Hmps. is very much like sumatrensis and differs beside its smaller size by the posterior 
transverse band being forked towards the costal margin. Selangor. 
C. conclusa Wkr. (16 h) is quite similar, the orange transverse bands are broader and the two middle 
ones bordered with black on the averted sides. Borneo. 
C. fasciatella Rothsch. Antennae reddish-brown; head and thorax white; collar and apical half of 
the shoulder-covers brick-coloured red; abdomen at the base grey, at the apex rufous. Both the middle bands 
on the averted sides bordered with black; at the cell-end there is a black dot and at the costal margin behind 
the median band there is a large scent-scale-spot. Hindwings salmon-coloured pink. Described from Celebes. 
C. javanica Btlr. (= puella Moore) is white with the usual orange-red transverse lines; the middle 
ones are bordered with black on the averted sides; the posterior one bends round towards the base on the sub¬ 
median fold. In the cell-end there is an orange-red spot, on the transverse vein there are two black spots. 
Hindwings white, towards the margin yellow. The $ has only one black discal spot, hindwings yellow with a 
carmine tint, fringes white. — The principal form is known from Burma, Singapore, Java and Bali. — The larva 
is black, on the middle rings with fine small yellowish dots and longitudinal lines, on the foremost and hindmost 
rings there are large, pale yellow transverse spots; hairing black. It lives on moss. The cocoon consists of a 
very widely meshed web of single threads regularly crossing one another, in which the pupa is suspended with 
few threads, with its head upward, yielding the imago after about 10 days. 
C. rhadota Swinh., described according to a $ from Nias, looks very much like javanica, but the trans¬ 
verse lines are coloured scarlet, the middle ones much broader, the fringes of the hindwings yellow. 
C. plateni Elwes (16 i) is a very imposing species, distinguished by the intensely brownish-red 
hindwings with yellow fringes; the proximal transverse line consists in the $ of three pointed spots bordered 
outside with black; in the $ these spots are contiguous, all the red transverse lines are much finer, at the cell-end 
there is only one black spot. Celebes, Sangir.
