C. gracilipalpis Warr. (21 e). Distinguished from rejecta by the longer and more slender palpi, 
with the terminal segment pointed and twice as long as in that species; pale brown instead of dark 
brown, like the bar at top of face; subbasal, inner, and median dark brown spots on costa distinct, but 
the outer and the outer line are not represented; the subterminal costal spot is narrbw, dark brown, and gamma¬ 
shaped, with two whitish costal dots and the edges darker; a row of black dashes before termen, joined 
at anal angle by a very faint yellowish cloud below vein 2; fringe white; hind wing and fringe pure white. 
Darjiling, Sikkim; described from a single $. 
C. judicata Walk. (— linea Hmps.) (21 e). Forewing silvery white; costa with subbasal and inner 
black points; a median black dot on costa, with an obscurely marked yellow striga from it; outer line 
pale brown from a black spot on costa, obliquely excurved to vein 6, then slightly incurved; a row of 
slight black dots just before termen; a fine brown terminal line; fringe fuscous at tips. In India found in 
the Punjab, Rajputana, the Nilgiri Hills, and Travancore; in Ceylon, Calao, Timor, Larat and Djampea. 
C. tenuilinea Hmps. (21 f). Forewing silvery white; a fine brown outer line obliquely excurved 
from costa to vein 6, then slightly incurved; traces of a series of black points just before termen. 
Described from a single $ from Bali. Probably a small, less-marked form of judicata. 
C. pulchra Walk. (21 e). Forewing silvery white; the costa with orange red spots at the rise of 
the subbasal, inner, and median lines; a subterminal redbrown patch from costa to vein 4, orange red at 
costa on inner side, blue black and white on outer, its lower part bent outwards, with traces of a 
maculate brown line from it to submedian fold, and a black striga at inner margin; a series of brown 
striae just before termen with a black point below vein 4; a fine brown terminal line; fringe with 
the tips brown; hindwing semihyaline white. Queensland and N. W. Australia. 
84. Genus: Spliragifera Stgr. 
Tongue well developed; frons smooth; palpi upcurved in front of face, the second segment long, 
slender, the third distinct, pointed; antennae of filiform, simple; thorax and abdomen smoothly scal¬ 
ed, without crests; forewing narrow and elongate, marked, usually, with a brown postmedian blotch 
and traces of lines. Type S. sigillata Men. 
S. maculata Hmps. (21 f). Forewing white with a slight ochreous tinge; inner and outer lines 
double, redbrown; the inner faint, waved and oblique, starting from two dark points at costa; the outer 
minutely waved and evenly curved, ending near tornus, blackish at costa; no subterminal line; a terminal 
series of conspicuous black points; orbicular and reniform stigmata olive brown slightly defined by redbrown; 
the orbicular minute, round, in upper part of cell; the reniform very large, elliptical, lobed on outer side 
and below, with a slight blackish mark above it on the costa and a redbrown line from it to inner 
margin; hindwing ochreous white, the inner margin more brownish; a slight cell point, and terminal series 
of black dots from apex to vein 2. E. Pegu, Burma; Khasia Hills, Assam; Sikkim. 
85. Genus : Molvena Walk. 
Tongue well developed; frons with long truncate corneous process with raised rim and pointed 
corneous plate below it; palpi porrect. the second segment slightly hairy below, the third short; antennae 
of ?, of $ ciliated; thorax, abdomen, and tibiae smoothly scaled; forewing with apex blunt; termen of both 
wings slightly bent at middle. Type M. guttalis Walk. 
M. guttalis Walk. (= militata Lucas). Forewing pale watery green; all the lines formed of spots, 
in places confluent; the inner, median, and outer lines marked by double spots in the submedian interspace and 
single ones on inner margin, and by black spots on costa; the median large and connected with the or¬ 
bicular stigma, which, like the reniform, has a white centre; the outer continued by a curved irregular line bet¬ 
ween veins 7 and 4, preceded by three black spots beyond cell; two black spots on costa before apex, 
a trifid mark at middle of termen, and an irregular mark above tornus; some black terminal spots; 
hindwing with slight cellspot, a diffuse interrupted outer line and broad terminal band from apex to vein 2. 
Queensland, N. Australia.
