redbrown, with fine pale basal line and white dots; hindwing blackish fuscous with a bronzy tinge; the cell- 
spot blacker; fringe with white dots at the ends of the veins and the tips white beyond cell. Sikkim, the Pun¬ 
jab, Assam, the Malay peninsula. 
€. contracta spec. nov. (21 g). Much smaller than semivitta Moore, but superficially like it; in semivitta, 
however, the uniform russet brown area extends from cell to inner margin; in the present species the 
submedian fold is its upper limit, the ochreous grey median area being therefore much ampler; the space be¬ 
tween inner and outer lines is relatively much greater in contracta, while the dark chocolate brown fascia between 
outer and subtenninal lines is not more than half as wide; the outer line below vein 5 is strongly inbent, 
running parallel to termen, whereas in semivitta it is nearly vertical; the subterminal line has no brown 
triangle before it on submedian fold; the stigmata are different in shape; the orbicular being broad, not pointed, 
at base and the reniform broader and shorter; they are not connected by a white dash at middle, and the 
lower half of cell is ochreous grey, like the area above and below it. Ivulu, Punjab, and Sikkim. 
C. mystica Walk. (21 g). Forewing purplish fuscous on an olive ochreous ground, the paler ground 
colour strongest in basal half of costal area, along the course of outer line, and on a streak along submedian 
fold from inner to outer line; this is dark with pale ochreous scaling on each side, oblique and straight to vein 
4, then incurved and subdentate, the subbasal and inner lines are only plain on costa; stigmata small, olive 
grey, with pale rings, closely approximated; subterminal line deeply indented below costa, and followed by a 
pale lunule; angled outwards on vein 7 to termen, then oblique inwards to vein 4, and marked by two black 
spots above and below vein 3, and two black blotches above and below vein 6; space between outer line and it 
black brown, the lower curved part, below vein 5 black; hindwing deep olive fuscous; tips of fringe white. Burma; 
only the $ known at present. 
C. fuscantaria Beth.-Baker (21 g). Forewing purplish fuscous with a cupreous tinge in terminal 
half, especially in the shade before subterminal line; lines very obscure, dark and slender, marked by pale 
spots on costa; the inner nearly straight, the outer oblique outwards to vein 4, then incurved and dentate lunulate; 
subterminal line defined only by the darker preceding shade, incurved below costa, angled outwards at 6 and 
indented on both folds; a well marked diffuse dark median shade; fringe concolorous; hindwing olive fuscous 
with a bronzy tinge. New Guinea. 
C. monoleuca Walk. (= apicalis Snell.) (21 g). Fore wing olive brown tinged with purple, with a slight 
sprinkling of grey scales towards costa; lines dark, hardly marked, except at and below costa where 
they are accompanied by whitish scales and spots; the outer and subterminal lines followed below middle 
by a coppery olive tint, strongest at inner margin; the outer line lunulate dentate, the teeth marked 
by white points on the veins; stigmata very obscure, rounded and close together, with fine dark annuli and a few 
ochreous or yellowish scales; beyond subterminal line a creamwhite costal spot marked with buff towards 
costa and below its middle, with a black subcostal point; fringe concolorous with wings; hindwing bronzy 
olive brown. The larva is said to be black with a white head. This species seems generally distributed; 
in India it is found in Sikkim, and Assam in the North, in Bombay and Madras in the South; in 
Ceylon, Burma, the Nicobar Islands, Java, Celebes, Hainan, and New Guinea; also in the Solomon Islands, 
Guadalcanal and Rjendova, in Tondano, Little Kei, Pura, Adonara, and Dutch Timor. The insect varies a good 
deal according to locality; the specimens from the Khasia Hills, Assam (all $$) are more uniformly 
dark than the Sikkim and Ceylon examples, which show the grey dusting and the whitish waved lines on the 
costal area more plainly; those from the different islands agree in the main with the latter; the from 
Dutch Timor shows the anal tufts developed into an immense puff of greyish ochreous hairs.
