C. flavovirens Eothsch. Ground-colour of greenish yellow, the dark places brownish-green. In the flavovirens. 
9 the ground-colour is more whitish-green, the dark places of a purer dark green, more contrasting. The median 
band edged with dark dots is anteriorly very broad. Submarginal line composed of white dots, inside with a 
distinctly defined light notched band, before it distinctly dark. 42—48 mm. New Guinea, 1200 m. 
C. marginata Bothsch. (84 b). The marking in the anterior portion very faded in the white ground- marginala. 
colour. The white sub marginal line is somewhat interrupted. Before it greenish brown and before the latter 
dark brown, these two colours indistinctly separated. $ 42—50 mm. New Guinea: Rawlinson Mts., Fak- 
Fak, 1200 m. 
C. latifasciata sp. n. The rather unicoloured light green median band is broad at the inner margin, latifasciata. 
outside at vein 2 with a slight white projection, then the border extends rectilinearly to the costal margin. 
The white submarginal line is feebly incurved, before it a parallel narrow, mostly sharp-edged red-brown band. 
flavovirens is similar, but the median band extends to the costal margin more obliquely distad. $ 42- 45 mm. 
New Guinea (Wandammen Mts., Arfak Mts., 1200 m). 
C. perscripta Bothsch. (84 a). Deep dark green. The median band is narrow at the inner margin, at per script a. 
vein 2 distally sharply angled as in latifasciata. The dark spot in the median band is very large. The submarginal 
line turns at vein 5 sharply angled inwards. This line and all the other light marking is yellow not white. In 
a $ the median band is exceptionally very broad at the inner margin. $ 42—45 mm. New Guinea (Mt. 
Goliath, Mt. Kunupi, 2000 m). 
II. Antennae of $ tufted. 
C. variegata Bothsch. (84 d). Greenish-brown. The large spot in the median band is mostly finely variegata. 
edged with white. The band itself is inside at vein 1 somewhat introangular. Before the white submarginal 
line sharply edged narrow brown. The presumable £ is deep dark green between the submarginal line and 
the median band. 45—48 mm. New Guinea: Mt. Kunupi, Arfak Mts., 1200—2000 m. 
C. olivacea Bothsch. (84 b). Larger, of a purer dark green. The median spot not white-edged, the space olivacea. 
before it dark. The white lobe of the median band large. The median band not projecting at vein 1, below 
it often narrower. Margin as in variegata. 46 -52 mm. New Guinea (Oetakwa R., Nomnagihe, 1200 m). - 
flavolavata Bothsch. is paler, more yellowish. flavolavata. 
C. albiscripta Bothsch. Ground-colour greyish-green. The median band is bordered by fine white lines, albiscriptci. 
The median spot is reniform, inside of it another dot, both black. The exterior portion of the median band 
is purely white. Before the fine white submarginal line narrow brown, before it dark green. In the form virens virens. 
Bothsch. (84 c) this part is as light green as the other green places. New Guinea (Mt. Goliath. Mt. Kunupi, 2000 m). 
C. Violetta sp. n. (84 c). Thorax and forewing moss-green, tegulae red-brown. Forewing dusted with violetta. 
violet except in the cell and at the distal margin. The median spot is blackish-brown, large. The normal median 
band only marked by yellowish-green marginal dots, with a dent at vein 2. Submarginal line composed of light 
spots, outside edged with red-broAn. Abdomen and hindwing red-brown. $ 45 mm. New Guinea (Mt. Kunupi, 
2000 m). Type in the British Museum. ^ 
(?) C. amydra Trnr. Brown, dusted with grey. A brown line from % costal margin to 2 / 5 inner margin, amydra. 
The median spot is small, brown, in the $ beneath edged with white, before it a larger white spot. Exterior 
line indistinct, from 3 / 4 costal margin to % inner margin. Black submarginal spots. Hindwing grey. 40—48 mm. 
Queensland. 
56. Genus : J*olycho» Trnr. 
Palpi upcurved as far as the frons, broad. Abdomen with a tuft at the base. Antennae of $ and $ 
almost equally pectinate to the tips. Forewing with erect scale-tufts. Vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 and 10 
near the end of the accessory cell, 8 + 9 from its apex. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 as well as 6 and 7 
separated. Type: styphlopis Trnr. 
P. styphlopis Trnr. is a most variable species. Body dark brown. Thorax in front dusted with green, styphlopis. 
Hindwing blackish brown, dusted with green and ochreous brown. Below the centre of the costal margin 
a tuft of black scales, below it 2 horizontal ones, and a fourth tuft between the interior one and the inner 
margin. An exterior row of brown spots from 2 / 3 costal margin to % inner margin. A sub marginal row of 
white dots may also be absent. Hindwing dark brown. G 40 mm. North Queensland. — In albostigmata albostigma- 
Bothsch. the spot at the cell-end is white, but according to the figure in Nov. Zool. vol. 24 the anterior spot seems ia - 
to be white. — aeruginosa form. nov. is very dark. At the apex a conspicuous spot of a verdigris colour. Type aeruginosa. 
in the British Museum. — flavibasis Bothsch. shows the base at the inner margin of the forewing slightly flavibasis. 
yellowish and the interior half of the hindwing rather distinctly yellowish. All the forms from New Guinea, 
from altitudes up to 2000 m.
