C. virida Heyl. ( — viridam Hmps.) (41 a). Already in Vol. Ill, p. 298 Warren in discussing the Japanese 
Clethr. distincta Leech, pointed out that it and the indian virida were two separate species (cr at all events 
forms). In Vol. Ill, pi. 53 m both sexes of the Japanese specimens were illustrated. We are now illustrating 
a specimen from Bengal, that represents virida. This shows thorax and forewings completely without markings, 
an undulate dark submarginal line that is rather more distinct and somewhat further from margin than in 
distincta. Abdomen and hindwings pale coppery. $ 32 mm, from Java; $ 40 mm. Bengal, Sikkim. 
In the following species outer margin is excised below vein 4. 
C. angulipennis E. Prout. Thorax and forewings dark green inclined to bluish green. Hindwings dark 
red. Outer line similar to that of the palaearctic distincta (Vol. 3, pi. 53), widely diffusing outwardly, with 
deep green edge. Submarginal line obsolete. <$ 38 mm, $ 35 mm. Sumatra. 
C. gonophora E. Prout. Somewhat smaller and with narrower wings. Thorax and forewings green, 
halfway between the shades of distincta and angulipennis. Hindwings somewhat paler red, more inclined to 
lilac than coppery. A reddish spot on fore wings at inner margin. A green inner line varyingly distinct, pro¬ 
ceeding outwards to centre, then obliquely inwards, angulated on submedian fold. A black cell spot is discernible. 
Outer line dark, diffuse without pale inner edge, closer inwards at inner margin than in the preceding species. 
Submarginal line consists of dark dots and is undulate. The $ has pale yellowish green forewings, pale orange 
hindwings, whitish at base. 34—42 mm. Sumatra. 
23. Genus: Careades B.-Bak. 
Palpi as in Aiteta. Central tibiae of S' bilaterally hairy, the first segment of tarsi similarly outwardly. 
Hind tibiae very short but first segment of tarsi very long, both densely hairy. Fore wings indented in centre 
of costa, curved outwards anteriorly and posteriorly. Neuration normal. Hindwings incurved at outer margin 
both above and below the centre. A large brush of hairs at inner margin on underside. The wing contour 
varies considerably. Almost all species originate from New Guinea. Type: huntei Warr. 
1. Fore wings boldly excised at outer margin below apex. Foretibiae 
o f $ w i t h long hairs anteriorly. 
C. falcataria B.-Bak. Forewings very dark chocolate-brown at base, somewhat dusted with silver on 
costa, inner margin whitish, red at base. Inner line indistinct, dark brown, curved. From centre of costa to 
anal angle a double dark brown line interfilled with silver, somewhat excurved below costa; a dark line close 
posteriorly. A brown submarginal line is indicated. Hindwings yellow, red at apex and inner margin. r J 42 mm. 
One specimen from New Guinea is known. 
2. Forewings only slightly excised below apex. Foretibiae of <$ without 
the brush o f h a i r s. 
C. ekeikei B.-Bak. (41 a). Forewings olive-grey at base, olive-green in apical area. Inner line dark 
brown, delicate, undulate, oblique. A wide dark olive-brown band from centre of costa to anal angle, with 
outer black and then white edge. A pale submarginal band vertically to the anal angle, the margin posteriorly 
darker green. Hindwings black-brown. In $ median band of forewings is almost vertical. Margin beyond it 
bronze-green. 40 mm. New Guinea. 
C. hemichlora Joann. (41 a). Forewings dark red-brown with green sheen in basal half, lilac-grey at 
costa. A division is formed by a lilac-white line from before centre of costa to anal angle. Outer area lilac- 
grey, diffuse brownish from behind this outline and at outer margin. Submarginal line indicated by a vertical 
row of black dots. Hindwings dark brown, $ 38—40 mm. Described from Burn. Cosmia foveata Pagst. from 
Amboina is the same species. — leopoldina Boepke is said to differ from name type form by the dark sepia- 
brown ground colour. This is probably due to Hampson’s misleading description of luscious green for the 
type form. Probably leopoldina varies very little. From the Celebes. 
C. huntei Warr. ( = sanguinea B.-Bak.) (41 b). Forewings dark rose-brownish, darker at base and in 
apical area. Inner line dark, vertical, excurved in cell, then again vertically. A narrow oblique band from 
before centre of inner margin to anal angle, red-brown inwardly, black-brown outwardly. Submarginal line 
undulate, vertical, dark. Hindwings dark brown, red apically to vein 2. In $ the band is somewhat indented 
on forewings, hindwings completely brown. J 45 mm, $ 40 mm. New Guinea. — We are illustrating a $ that 
belongs here, according to the formation of the inner line, but at the transverse line the dark and pale branches 
seem to be reversed. 
C. plagioscia Trnr. (41 b). Forewings lilac-brown, red-brown or dark brown at inner margin, similarly 
at costa behind the transverse line and more narrowly along this, least dusky in centre of outer margin. The 
delicate inner line is uniformly excurved below centre, incurved inwards towards inner margin, the anterior 
angle, as in huntei, is absent here. The dark oblique line is double and interfilled with lilac-white. Submarginal
