CHIONAEMA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
securizonia. C. securizonis Btlr. is similar to the preceding, but the black basal spot is more expanded at the 
proximal margin as far as the middle and does not extend beyond the median towards the costal margin; all 
the black parts are of an intense blue lustre. Hindwing orange with a black basal spot and marginal band. 
(juizonis. Salomons. — subsp. guizonis Jord. 
bicolor. C. bicolor Rothsch. <$: head and antennae black, thorax dark orange, basal half of tegulae black; 
abdomen black, anal tuft orange-red. On the forewing the basal three fifths are orange, the other two fifths 
black; on the hindwing the proximal three fifths are orange, the distal two black; in the abdominal fold a long 
black stripe. Length of forewings: 19 mm. Dutch New Guinea. 
tricolor. C. tricolor Druce (= tegyra Druce ) (16 k). On the red forewing only the extreme base is black, and 
the narrow black marginal band forms a large black spot at the proximal angle. Hindwing orange with a black 
retracta. marginal band. New Guinea. — retracta nom. nov. (= subsp. 1 Hmps.) has a much less extensive black inner- 
angular spot. New Britain. 
postdivisa. C. postdivisa Rothsch. 2: head and antennae black, thorax black, tegulae and patagia orange; abdomen 
black. Forewings orange, costal margin and distal margin and the anal-angular part of the wing below the median 
fold black. Hindwing: basal half orange, apical half black, at the abdominal margin narrowed into a dot. Length 
of forewings: 19 mm. Lower Mambara River, British New Guinea, March. 
ful via. C. fulvia L. (— liboria Stoll) (16 1c 9) differs by the much narrower inner-angular spot extending 
towards the base as far as in front of the middle of the proximal margin. Hindwing orange with a black marginal 
tricolora. band being much narrower in the 2 . Amboina. — In subsp. tricolora Btlr. from Aru and New Guinea the 
trigona. scarlet colour is replaced by orange and more extended towards the margin. — subsp. trigorta Rothsch. Forewing 
only with an extremely narrow black margin, growing somewhat broader only near the anal angle; ti e black 
border of the hindwing extends at the proximal margin to the base. New Guinea (Area River). 
ornissa. C. oinissa R. d ■ J. (17 b) is likewise somewhat like the preceding; forewing mange, turning more 
red towards the costal margin. Distal margin broadly black, like a spot behind the base of the forewing. Collar 
orange. Salomons (Guadalcanar). 
thoracica. C. thoracica R. <£• J. (17 a) has quite orange wings bordered with black only at the distal margins; 
collar, thorax and apex of abdomen chrome-yellow. From Dutch New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
meyricki. C. meyricki R. <£• J . (— liboria Meyr.) is allied to fulvia, from which it is easily discernible by its red 
head and thorax, reddish costal margins of the abdominal rings, black collar and black hindwings with a yellowish 
median spot. Queensland. 
dinawa. C. dinawa Beth.-Bale. Head and thorax black, mesothorax and shoulder-covers red: abdomen above 
black, beneath red. Forewing scarlet with fine black margins, only at the proximal angle broader. Hindwing 
chrome-yellow with a large black apical spot and a black proximal margin. New Guinea (Dinawa). 
haemacta. C. haeniacta Snell. (16 k) has black forewings, with a cuneiform red spot at the cell-end. Hindwing 
whitish diaphanous, at the margin bluish-black. Borneo, Sumatra. 
tlaviplaya. C. flaviplaga Heyl. (16 k) is quite similar, but the discal spot is much larger and orange, at the base 
of the costal margin there is another small orange spot, and the hindwings are quite black, onlyfaintly diaphanous 
towards the base. Java, Bali. 
charybdis. C. charybdis Beth.-Bale. is of quite different colours: head and thorax bronze-black, abdomen light grey, 
forewing bronze-black with a black, dentate, basal transverse line, a faded black median band, an irregularly 
dentate posterior transverse line, behind it a broad band of confluent black spots; at the margin a strongly 
dentate black line. Hindwing grey with a darker border and a distinct discal spot. The $ exhibits instead of 
the median band a dentate transverse line, in the cell before and behind it one black spot each. New Guinea 
(Dinawa). 
pyralinu. C. pyralina Rothsch. <$: antennae brown, head and thorax reddish-buff; abdomen dirty brown, 
anal tuft orange-buff. Forewing reddish buff with a purple tint, the two fifths at the base completely varnished 
with a blackish purple chocolate-colour, 2 bands through the cell, an anchor-shaped discal spot and a post- 
discal band of the colour of the base; the distal fifth of the costa and the margin speckled with small dark spots. 
Hindwings dark grey. Length of forewings: 12 mm. Upper Setekwa River, Snow Mountains in Dutch New 
fasciata. Guinea; taken in August at altitudes of 2 to 3000 ft. -— subsp. fasciata Rothsch. differs in the male sex from 
typical pyralina by a white angled stigma on the discocellulars and 3 complete, undulate, blackish purple
