tween it and rufistigma, — ab. ochreistignia ab. nov. (18 f) — has, instead of the rounded luteous patch, a 
bright ochreous yellow one running up to a point at upper end of the reniform stigma; the dusting is 
dull purplish rather than blue; and the fringe of hindwing more conspicuously white at tips.- 
P. quadripuncta Warr. (18 f). Forewing purple black throughout, the lines and edges of stig¬ 
mata intenser black; claviform stigma large, its lower edge produced basewards through the inner line 
as a pointed dash; outer line very strongly dentate; the reniform stigma on its outer edge with 4 white 
dots, two at each end; submarginal line faint, grey, preceded and followed by indistinct black marks; 
hindwing bronzy fuscous, much paler basewards, with cell spot and veins darker; fringe with pale basal 
line. Tonglo, Sikkim. Described from a single $. 
P. nitida Warr. (18 g). Forewing dull olive brown, glossy in certain lights; finely dusted with 
grey atoms; all the markings very indistinct, indicated by pale scales edged with darker ones; inner line 
waved, followed by an indistinct short black dash, representing the claviform stigma; orbicular rounded 
and reniform reaching below median, both with interrupted ochreous grey edges and black outlines; outer 
line strongly dentate, the teeth long and like the veins dusted with ochreous; subterminal line more di¬ 
stinct, ochreous grey, partially interrupted, preceded in the intervals by dark dentate marks; fringe con- 
colorous, with minute pale dots at the vein ends; hindwing uniform olive fuscous, the veins and termen 
darker; fringe with paler basal line and tips; underside of both wings olive fuscous, beyond the sub- 
terminal lines conspicuously whitish grey. Kumaon, N. India. 
P. prolifera Walk. (18 g). Forewing purplish fuscous slightly irrorated with grey; subbasal line 
ochreous, waved, from costa to submedian fold, but indistinct; inner line also indistinct, oblique and 
waved, angled outwards below costa and inwards on vein 1, defined on inner side by ochreous; outer 
line ochreous with some black scales on it, bent outwards below costa, excurved to vein 4, then ob¬ 
lique; subterminal line a series of ochreous and black dentate marks; a terminal row of small black lu¬ 
ll ules; claviform stigma defined by black; orbicular round with ochreous annulus defined by black; reniform 
ill-defined by ochreous and black scales, with a prominent ochreous lunule on the outer edge; liind-

Sect. I. Antennae of with pedicellate fascicles of cilia. 
C. conservuloides Hmps. (18 g). Forewing olive ochreous tinged with pink; the cell, the median 
area below middle, and a triangular patch on inner margin before inner line olive brown; an olive brown 
spot at base of cell; inner and outer lines olive brown, double, filled in with ground colour; the inner 
waved and obscure, the outer bent outwards on vein 4, the inner area angled and running in to end 
of cell, thence faint, the outer area stronger, and waved below middle; subterminal line with a dark 
edging of olive brown from vein 7 to 3, thence paler and more diffuse, followed above vein 3 by a 
purplish grey shade, extending to the fringe; claviform stigma olive brown with darker outline, very ob¬ 
scure; orbicular and reniform of the ground colour, narrow, conversely oblique, joined along median 
vein; costal area shaded with olive; fringe with a bright pale basal line; hindwing olive ochreous tinged 
with grey, except along costa; the veins darker; a dark outer line and diffuse subterminal shade. Sik¬ 
kim, N. India. 
Sect. II. Antennae of <§ with sessile fascicles of cilia. 
C. costalis Moore (18 g). Forewing olive green; the cell and median area below it, as well as 
an irregular patch on inner margin before inner line, deep olive; a broad costal streak olive ochreous, 
with the lines marked across it in dark olive; inner and outer lines treble, irregularly waved and angled, 
approaching each other on inner margin; subterminal line pinkish between deep olive shadings; fringe 
green with a dark line down middle and another at base; orbicular and reniform stigmata pale green 
with ochreous annuli, their summits blurred by the costal streak, united below along median, and coales-

fusion; hindwing dingy olive ochreous; the veins darker, thickened at extremity in a dark terminal line; 
a broad terminal olive fuscous shade. 1ST. India, Sikkim and the Khasia Hills, Assam. The Sikkim specimens
