CHIONAEMA. By Dr. M. Draxjdt. 171 
C. axiologa Swinh. resembles the preceding species, but the proximal red transverse band is contiguous 
and straight, the postmedian band is somewhat forked towards the costa, and the distal arm is at the costal 
margin united with the terminal band; in the cell-end there is in both sexes only one black dot. Nias. 
C. perornata Wkr. (16 i) is likewise somewhat similar, but the liindwings are white, only towards 
the margin faintly tinted red; at the cell-end a large, round, black spot. Sikkim, Borneo, -Java. . 
C. lutipes Hmps. (16 i) is much smaller, the hindwings are light yellow, at the costal margin white; 
the middle transverse lines are separated afar, at the cell-end there are 3 black dots. Philippines. 
C. nigrilineata Hmps. (16 i) is entirely without the two red middle transverse lines; before the margin 
there is a red transverse band with a dentate proximal border. Hindwings pink with white fringes. Sumatra. 
C. anielaena Hmps . Forewings white, costal margin at the base red, 4 red transverse lines, the two 
middle ones broad, the posterior one forked towards the costal margin; at the cell-end 3 red spots, the two 
distal ones on the transverse vein are pupilled black. Hindwings yellow, with a red tinge towards the margin. 
Abdomen likewise above yellow with a red tinge. -— Singapore. 
C. affinis Snell, is very much like nigrilineata, distinguished by its pure white ground-colour and the 
entire absence of the red marginal band, as well as by the more strongly broken anterior, black transverse line. 
—- Java. 
C. arania Moore has white fore wings with 4 orange transverse bands, in the cell-end two black dots; 
the curved posterior transverse band is strongly angled on the lower radial vein, behind it there is below the 
costa a black dot. Hindwing in the proximal half, and abdomen pink. Sikkim, Assam. 
C. divakara Moore has a white body; collar, thorax and shonlcler-covers spotted orange. The orange 
transverse bands grow so broad that they have almost entirely removed the white ground-colour, of which 
there only remain spots at the base and at the base of the proximal margin and at the cell-end, as well as a 
posterior, irregularly dentate, white transverse line; in the white diseal spot there are black spots; hindwings 
and fringes white. Sikkim. 
C. dohertyi Elioes is allied to arama and is very similarly marked, but much smaller and has a 
quite white abdomen and hindwings, the latter are faintly tinged yellowish at most towards the margin; at 
the cell-end 3 small black spots; the orange marginal line is feebly developed and reaches neither the costal 
nor the proximal margin. Himalaya, Sikkim, Assam. 
C. yunnanensis Hmps. is still a little smaller than the preceding and likewise similar; the red marginal 
line is entirely absent; thorax and abdomen all white, only the collar narrowly bordered with orange; costal 
margin at the base orange. Yunnan. 
C. sikkimensis Elwes (Vol. II, t. 12 a), distributed from Sikkim to Tibet, is easily recognizable by 
the ochreous-brownish colour of the two middle transverse bands; the marginal band is absent like in yunnanensis. 
The posterior transverse band is on both sides spotted black towards the costal margin. The $ has only one 
black cliscal spot, the $ exhibiting two. 
C. Candida Fldr. is entirely white without any transverse lines; base of costal margin red; in the 
cell-end 3 black dots and one behind them at the costal margin, which is absent in the $. Himalaya, Sikkim. 
C. puer Elives. Head and thorax white, spotted orange, palpi black, abdomen white, anal hairing 
yellow. Forewing white with a short orange-yellow transverse line behind the base; broad ante- and postmedian 
scarlet transverse bands, the posterior one growing narrower towards the costa and more orange-yellow, towards 
the proximal margin outside bordered with black; at the cell-end there is a large black spot and on the transverse 
vein two contiguous ones. Both marginal area and hindwings yellow. In the $ there is on the transverse vein 
only one black spot and the posterior red transverse band is broad as far as the costa and is, as far as there, 
bordered outside with black. Sikkim, Assam. 
C. detrita Wkr. (suffundens Wkr.) (Vol. II, t. 12 a) belongs to the quite differently coloured species: 
forewings white with irregular brown spots; in the cell-end and at the lower cell-angle there is one brown ring- 
macula each, at the upper cell-angle a brown spot. Hindwings white. From India, Sikkim and Assam into 
the palearctic region. 
C. miles Btlr. (16 i) initiates a small group of species marked quite black and red, in which the upper 
median and lower radial vein are petroled in all the $ wings and for which the genus Clerckia Auriv. was esta¬ 
blished. The present species has black forewings with a broad scarlet median band and more orange hindwings 
with a broad marginal band and flies in the Salomons. •— In subsp. Isabella R. A J. from the Island of Isabel 
the red median band is reduced to a square spot; the hindwings are quite black.
