C. Cyclops Hmps. (39 h). Forewings olive-grey-brown. Inner and outer lines only indicated by silvery cyclops. 
scales on costa, the costa being darker anteriorly. A few silvery scales on disco-cellular and a triangular spot 
posteriorly, from which a dark brown streak extends to the margin between veins 6- 3. The similarly darker 
brown apical patch is edged below by a silvery line, like in the preceding species. Hindwings of $ dark brown, 
of 2 ochreous yellow, slightly brownish only at inner margin and with a large darker patch below apex. 35 mm. 
New Guinea, Solomon Islands. 
C. tenuipalpis Sn. (31 cl). This varies somewhat. Forewings dark brown in basal area, anteriorly yellow tenidpalpi 
to below the cell. Inner margin with silvery scales at base. The remainder of wing is ochreous brown, anteriorly 
with silvery scales at the outline of both areas. From the outer line to the apical spot, an inverted “V shaped 
mark. The apical ocellus is divided by a horizontal yellow streak. Hindwings dark brown. 40 mm. Only 1 $ 
is known from the Celebes. 
3. Genus: &iiina Wkr. 
Palpi more normal, the second segment stout, the third long. Forewings with sharply pointed apex, 
neuration normal. On hindwings nervure 5 arises somewhat removed from 4. Type: calospila Wkr. These 
species with the exception of: extrema Wkr. (Vol. 3, p. 294, pi. 53 g) which is palaearctic, are all only found 
in the indo-australian territory. All but the first species are brightly coloured. 
S. atrifusa Hmps. (39 h). Forewings dark brown with a few white patches. A white spot on inner airpv.su. 
margin at base and another at apex. Also costa and outer margin indistinctly white. A few delicate rosy bands 
that are almost indistinguishable. Of these there is one from costa near the base that extends on nervure J 
almost to margin, combining with a central, outer and submarginal rose coloured line. Hindwings pale ochreous 
yellow, whiter at costa. 35 mm. One <$ from Java. 
S. floralis Hmps. (39 i). Forewings white, the apical third golden yellow. On costa 3 large black spots floralis. 
from which 3 red oblique lines extend, that are partially conjoined. At apex a black spot with 3 further spots 
in an arc around it. Hindwings pure white. 36 mm. Malacca. - dohertyi Hmps. The $ has much smaller black doherlyi. 
spots on costa of forewings. The black apical spots are on white ground, the yellow colouration is reduced. Assam. 
S. joiceyi E. Prout. Forewings pure white. The 3 transverse lines similar to those of floralis (39 i). joiceyi. 
being yellow at costa, then red. The apical spots do not vary. Anteriorly to them a yellow band extends to¬ 
wards the outer margin, proceeding inwards from nervure 2 and having a reddish suffusion at its commencement 
and extremity. The 3 transverse lines are somewhat less complicated in their conjunction than in floralis, the 
third line extends obliquely to centre of wing, is angulated there and proceeds vertically to the first line on 
inner margin. At the angle a small triangle is attached outwardly by its apex. The <+ which was discovered 
later, has pale yellow colouration of forewings, the red lines being bolder. — jacobi E. Prout has forewings with jacobi. 
dark brown central area from near the base to the extemity of the contingent triangle mentioned above and 
the ground colour is widely retained on the 3 sides. 32—36 mm. Ceram, Burn. 
S. dohertyi Elwes (31 e <$). This is a species with the ground colour and the markings reversed. Fore- dohertyi. 
wings are red with white spots, that are edged with black. A larger spot occurs at one-tliird of costa and a similar 
one inwardly on lower edge of cell, the other spots are smaller. Apical spot and the 3 conjoined neighbouring- 
spots are on white ground, with a pale yellow subapical band anteriorly. Inner margin narrowly yellow. Hind¬ 
wings white. In $ the marking in centre of inner margin is red. The subapical line is divided into two parts. 
34—36 mm. Assam. 
S. calospila Wkr. (39 i). Forewings white, yellow in centre of inner margin. From costa 3 heavy red calospila. 
stripes proceed, similar to those of floralis but forming a denser reticular pattern from centre of wing to anal 
angle. There is a black spot at apex with a black and yellow band anteriorly. Hindwing of <$ orange-yellow, 
of $ grey-white. 32—36 mm. Borneo. — haemacta Snell. (39 i) is smaller. Only the first red stripe commences haemacia. 
at costa, the others lower down, the costa itself being yellow. Hindwings of brownish white, of $ white, slightly 
dusky at anal angle. 28—30 mm. Java, Sumatra. 
S. poweri Wilem. d- South. Forewings white, the lines brown, not red as in preceding species. The usual poweri. 
3 oblique lines are present and they are partially conjoined longitudinally. At apex the usual black spot and 3 
others anteriorly Hindwings white. Distinguishable bv the colour of the lines. 34 mm. 1 2 from the Philippines. 
4. Genus : Gabala Wkr. 
Proboscis exceptionally small. Palpi long and stout, the third segment with terminal hairs. Forewings 
with straight outer margin. Veins 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. On hindwings veins 3 + 4 stalked. Type: polyspilalis 
Wkr. All species are indian, only argentata has also been found in Japan and Corea. 
G. margarita B.-Bak. (39 i). Differing through having a large silvery spot instead of the many small margarita 
silvery spots of the other species. Forewings narrowly yellow at costa and outer margin. Anterior to the large 
silver spot, carmine red. The central band lilac-brown, edged outwardly by the angulated outer line. The 
straight dark submarginal line extends from a small silvery white spot below costa with a similar spot on vein 
6 and a more yellowish one on submedian fold. Hindwings yellow, white at base. 28 mm. 1 2 from New Guinea.
