P. pyroniera Hmps. (93 c). Porewing fiery red with yellow spots almost to the centre, bordered by 
dark there. The marginal half is red-brown with a grey tint. A spot at the costal margin as far as vein 5 
as at the base, not quite reaching to the distal margin and parted by a line. Basal and apical areas of 
hindwing as on forewing, the rest red-brown. 26 mm. New Guinea. 
P. dentifascia Warr. Thorax and forewing orange-red; abdomen grey with a red median line. Pore¬ 
wing yellow at the base, besides 4 curved rows of dark spots. Marginal area somewhat darker except at the costal 
margin. A lilac grey irregular band extends from % of the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin; 
its distal edge from 3 / 5 of the costal margin, rectangularly excurvated at vein 5, where it proceeds pointedly 
to the distal margin, then incurvated and to the anal angle. The costal margin above it is black and orange- 
red. Hindwing without leaden grey dusting, inner margin pale ochreous. 30 mm. New Guinea. 
P. ignefissa Warr. (93 c). Porewing brick-red, fiery red at the base, darkened blackish in the anal 
quarter. Of the pale yellow red-edged transverse lines a straight interior one and a curved exterior one 
are distinct and uninterrupted. 3 others near the base and a submarginal one from the costal margin to the 
centre are also distinct. Median vein fine yellow. A large grey spot in the centre of the wing is variably distinctly 
defined. Pringe reddish-grey. The yellow striae on the hindwing are short, fringe pale ochreous. The red ground¬ 
colour may also have a greyish tint. $ 22—26 mm. New Guinea. 
P. condensata Warr. (93 c). Porewing yellow with internerval rows of reddish-yellow spots. Yellow 
is the basal third and a triangular spot before the apex. The distal two thirds are suffused with greyish-black 
and marked with rows of dark dots. A grey spot below vein 2 at the inner margin before the anal angle. A 
brownish-grey arcuate line near the base, and a dark round spot behind it in the submedian fold. The first 
quarter of the hindwing is yellow without lines, the rest not so dark as on the forewing, with a large faded reddish- 
yellow spot below the centre of the distal margin, the otherwise grey fringe reddish-yellow behind it. The $ 
shows the reddish-yellow colour replaced by fiery red and a broad greyish-red median band. 20—25 mm. 
New Guinea. 
18. Genus: Caniptooliilfis Hmps. 
Palpi short, porrect. Forewing with a round costal margin, the apex pointed and bent forward. Vein 
6 a little below the upper cell-angle, 7 + 8 stalked. Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing separated, 8 almost straight, 
bent forward at the end. Type: reticulaius Mr. 
C. fuiiifera Warr. (= furcifera Hmps.). Body and wings orange. Porewing with a pink hue at the 
inner margin as far as behind the middle. A subbasal and interior fine line angled in the centre of the wing. 
A pinkish-brown triangle at the costal margin behind the middle, from which a broad brown band extends to 
the centre of the inner margin, besides a fine line to the anal angle and one from the distal angle to the centre 
of the margin. The 3 lines mentioned on the hindwing from the centre of the costal margin, extending 
similarly. $ 35 mm. Khasia Mts. — In divergens Warr. (= shedeli Gaede), from Japan, the two first lines on 
the forewing are less distinct. The main band is replaced by distinct marginal lines separating towards the 
inner margin which is not tinged with pink. The main line on the hindwing as fine as the others. $ 27 mm. 
C. reticulatus Mr. (92 k). Body and wings olive brown, with dark reticulate lines. A faded yellow 
band on the fore wing extends almost to the centre of the inner margin. Distal margin of hindwing broad yellow, 
the somewhat lighter basal area bordered by a rather distinct line. 36- 38 mm. Sikkim. — Beside quite normal 
specimens one from Canton is before me, showing some resemblance to funifera, which may be denominated: 
semifasciata form. nov. (92 k). The anterior part of the dark band on the forewing is present and widens somewhat 
inward at the costal margin. The distal edge of this band is rather distinct as far as the inner margin, the interior 
edge indistinctly defined towards the lighter basal area. The line to the anal angle is very ramous, the line to 
the centre of the distal margin distinct. Type: 1 $ 32 mm. Tsha-jiu-san. 
C. decorata Warr. (93 c). Porewing very concave at the costal margin, whitish. Base red-brown, 
the interior, exterior and submarginal bands also red-brown, slightly expanded at the veins, so that the light 
interspaces become round spots. A small light spot in the exterior band at the costal margin. Hindwing similar. 
$ 28 mm. Russel I. 
C. shiuosus Warr. (= excavata Gaede) (93 c). Forewing light olive brown. Dense reddish-brown 
lines at the base. A light greenish-brown triangle with a light spot is behind the middle of the costal margin. 
This triangle is situate in a lighter area. A faded red-brown triangle below it at the inner margin. Basal 
area of hindwing bordered by a greenish-black edge, pale yellow behind it, darker yellow at the apex. 
26—30 mm. Manipur, South China, Formosa. 
In the following two species the costal margin of the forewing is not concave. 
C. citrinarius Gaede (93 d). Pale yellow. The costal margin of the forewing slightly brownish, with 
4 red-brown spots in the distal half. From the second spot a slightly curved light olive brown line extends 
to the middle of the inner margin. Besides numerous fine lines. The median line on the hindwing is still 
more distinct. 30 mm. New South Wales.
