C. pulchripicta Walk. (5a). Forewing emerald green; basal area narrowly brown, with a green spot pulchripicta. 
at base, prolonged below vein 1 along inner margin as a pale brown streak ending in a point beyond middle, 
just before which it is joined by a brown band of equal width, quadrately bent below middle and starting 
from costa at 1 / 3 where it is deep brown; both are finely edged with white; the basal band near base is 
interrupted narrowly by a green spot, which does not reach inner margin nor interrupt the white edging; a 
terminal brown patch on each fold, edged with white, the upper one lying in a white patch from costa; the 
green towards termen is deeper, especially at apex, where it is joined by a deep green streak from upper bend 
of median fascia; fringe brown, with a darker middle line, and white at apex; dark terminal dots between 
veins from apex to below 5, edged with white in the brown patch: hindwing white, with the apex smeared 
with grey, more strongly in the ?, in which it is sometimes continued submarginally to anal angle; fringe 
yellowish grey. Like the last species only found in Sikkim. The green fades in this species to pale and deep yellow- 
C. splendens Moore (5 a). Differs from pulchripicta in the basal half of forewing being bright bluish- splendens. 
green, the terminal area suffused with olive-green; the dark basal patch large, wider at costa and with concave 
crenulate edge; both bands olive-brown, the median rising further from base, therefore not so oblique, and 
with waved edges, that on margin entirely interrupted by green near base, the green preceded by a black 
spot; an indistinct small green black edged orbicular spot on the inner edge of the median fascia; the oblique 
dark green streak to apex much more diffuse and preceded, where it starts, by a bright white spot, representing 
reniform stigma, in a blue green patch reaching costa; a white submarginal line from costa to vein 4, the 
termen beyond it blue; whitish patches on termen on each fold, containing velvety black spots; fringe pale 
green, chequered with black beyond the folds; black terminal dots between veins; hindwing white, the termen 
diffusely blackish, more broadly in ?; fringe and extreme termen white, the latter with black terminal dots. 
A North Indian insect, occurring in the Punjab, Sikkim, and Assam. Fades to pale yellow and olive brown. 
C. javensis Warr. (5b). Differs from splendens Moore as follows; the median and innermarginal fascia jarensis. 
have the brown much mixed with green, especially on costa; the inner edge of median fascia is squarely 
angled below subcostal vein, and its outer edge is oblique inwards at costa instead of outwards; both stigmata 
are more distinctly marked; the outer area is more uniformly green, the oblique streak from reniform to apex 
not marked; and the innermarginal band is more broadly interrupted by green towards the base. Java; 
described from a single cf. 
3. Genus: IMplitlieroeome Warr. 
Tongue developed; frons smooth; palpi upturned, the second segment fringed with hair in front, the 
third long and smooth; antennae of cf 1 typically bipectinate; prothorax and metathorax crested; abdomen 
with dorsal series of crests: tibiae fringed with hair; forewing with apex blunt, and termen evenly curved; 
neuration normal. Type D. pallida Moore.

D. pallida Moore (5b). Forewing pale bluish green, darker beyond outer line; lines black emphasised pallida. 
by white; basal line marked by a black costal stria nearly touching a large black basal blotch below median; 
inner and outer lines strongly angled, the inner outwards below costa and on submedian fold and vein 1, 
ending in a black blotch to inner margin; outer projecting vertically between 6 and 7, bidentate between 3 
and 5, and bluntly at 1, strongly insinuate on both folds; stigmata green slightly white-edged and marked 
with black; a square black blotch between orbicular and reniform; a black costal tooth before apex; a row 
of black, white-tipped submarginal spots; fringe green, the tips mottled black and white; hindwing and fringe 
greenish white with grey cellspot. Found in the Punjab, N. W. India, and Sikkim; occurs also in Kashmir, 
Tibet and W. China. 
D. vigens Walk. (5b). Forewing deep emerald green; a black spot at base above middle; lines black vigens. 
and fine, edged conversely with white; the inner inangled in cell, and pointedly projecting outwards above and 
below vein 1, preceded by blackish shading forming an oblong blotch on inner margin with a pale streak 
above it; outer line indented in cell and pointedly projecting on vein 4, then incurved and lunulate between 
veins, followed by a deep green band; orbicular and reniform stigmata green edged with white and black, 
with a dark green blotch between them; claviform tipped with black, followed by a short white streak and 
a black mark; some black terminal points; fringe green at base, whiter at tips which are chequered with 
black lunules; hindwing greenish luteous, with grey cell spot and sinuous outer line: marginal area clouded 
with fuscous, which forms a large dark cloud at apex. Sikkim only; but a single ? in the Elwes Collection 
is recorded from the Naga Hills collected by W. Doherty.
