very near to the median shadow. Subterminal line hazy whitish, tinged with red-brown on the inside. Hind-

Proboscis developed. Frons with an obtuse coniform projection with a raised listel, and a horny plate 
below it. Palpi bent up, the 2nd joint well scaled, the 3rd short, <$ antennae ciliated. Thorax and basal seg¬ 
ment of abdominal dorsum with feeble combs. Neuration normal. The type is C. jordana Stgr.

and the postmeclian area; marginal area whitish, except at the apex, the veins with dull dark striae which 
are no more prominent towards the margin. Lines badly marked. Interior line only marked by double dark 
striae at the costal and inner margins, exterior line by a double row of dark vein-dots, outwardly curved below 
the costal margin and inwardly below vein 4. An oblique dark shadow from the apex. Subterminal line dis¬ 
cernible by a brown shadow on its inner side. A series of black dots at the margin. Hindwing yellowish white 
tinged with brown; fringe whitish. Poona (Bombay in South India). 
Sect. II. antennae plainly ciliated. 
C. minima Swh. (= bacheri Stgr.) (Vol. 3, pi. 47 c). Forewing ochreous, strewn with brown. Interior minima. 
line blackish, bordered with ochre inside, feebly excurved below the costal margin, then sinuate. Coniform 
macula filled with blackish brown, ring-macula and reniform macula small, ochreous, encircled with black 
the former round, the latter narrow, inwardly angled on the median vein; a diffuse dark shadow between and 
behind them. Exterior line dark, bordered with ochre outside, strongly bent outward below the costal margin, 
oblique below vein 4. Subterminal line ochreous, inwardly marked with tiny dentate black spots below the 
costal margin and in the centre; dull black striae at the margin. Hindwing white with a fine dark marginal 
line. Statidinger's type of bacheri originated from the Jordan in Palestine; the species occurs also near Aden, 
near Fao on the Persian Gulf, Lahore in the Punjab and near Karachi and Hyderabad in Sind.

centre of which a yellowish red streak passes. The reniform macnla is a white spot, its lower part yellowish 
red; white streaks in the spaces between there and the apex form an oblique band. Traces of an oblique brown
