at disco-cellular. Submarginal line double, vertically above anal angle. Hindwings fiery red. brownish in 
inner marginal area. 38 mm. One $ from Malacca. 
C. holophaea Hmps. Forewings brown with grey suffusion. The line dark antemedian line from 1 :i of holophaca. 
costa to centre of inner margin, regularly excurved. Outer line double, black, straight, from near apex to 
% of inner margin. Anteriorly on costa a large blackish triangle with its apex extending to the lower angle 
of cell. Hindwings dark brown, somewhat reddish. $ 35 mm. Malacca. 
3. Forewings shallowly impressed in centre of costa, outer m a r g i n 
uniformly curved. 
C. flava B.-Bak. (41 d). Forewings fiery red to postmedian, then fleshy rose. Inner line very oblique, flora. 
terminating at submedian fold, black at costa, then obsolete. A grey streak in centre of submedian fold. Two 
black streaks posterior to lower angle of cell. Submarginal line black, double, from % of costa to anal angle, 
incurved between. Posteriorly faintly darker. Hindwings orange-yellow. $ 42 mm. ISlew Guinea. According 
to E. Prout is only a form of varipes (41 d and Vol. 3, pi. 52 m). 
C. simplicilinea Warr. This resembles a small flava (41 d). Submarginal line apparently only simple simplici- 
from 4 / 5 of costa to anal angle and is therefore more vertical. It is straight or only faintly curved. Marginal 
area beyond is more narrow, outer margin straighter. Hindwings white at base and inner margin, otherwise 
orange-red. New Guinea. 
C. varipes Wkr. (41 d and Vol. 3, pi. 52 m.) The species is common in India and the Sunda Is., in varipes. 
Hongkong it enters palaearctic territory and was dealt with fully by Warren in Vol. Ill, p. 298. — leucobathra leucobathra. 
E. Prout is a new form. Forewings pale reddish ochre with silvery grey scales. The black double line before 
the margin, only faintly incurved, anteriorly to it an olive-green shade, posteriorly at apex lilac-grey. Hind¬ 
wings white to beyond centre of costa and to anal angle, the remainder being orange-red. From Ceram. 
C. ducalis Bryk (41 d). Recognisable by the boldly projecting curve of forewings at apex *). Ground ducalis. 
colour of pale vermilion-red. The dark antemedian line not so boldly excurved below costa, as in varipes. 
The black dots in cell as before. The double dark chief line is vertical, scarcely incurved, posteriorly an ob¬ 
solete pale dentate line. Hindwings as in varipes. In $ the apex projects slightly more than in varipes. Ground 
colour is dark reddish lilac, paler in marginal area. Hindwings darker red than in <$. gynaikochroma Bryk. gynaiko- 
(41 d) denotes a that in its colouration is a transition to the $ form. 32—36 mm. Borneo. — undicostata $ 
Warr. also from Borneo, is certainly the same species; the dark submarginal shade alone is insufficient to 
justify a new denomination. 
C. tumida Hmps. (41 e). In $ costa of forewings is approximately indented as boldly as in ducalis $ iumida. 
and besides the apex is obliquely truncated. Forewings dark red-brown, silvery from centre of costa to near 
anal angle. Dark antemedian line faint and regularly curved as in ducalis. The chief line is double from 
of costa to anal angle. Marginal area paler with spotted submarginal line. Hindwings dark orange-red. In 
$ forewing is more heavily suffused with silvery grey, hindwings paler. 38—42 mm. Malacca. Borneo, Sumatra. 
C. nicobarensis Warr. Wing contour of 4 corresponds to that of tumida, but it is smaller and with nicobarensis 
different colouration. Forewings lilac-rose with olive-yellow sheen. Antemedian line distinct, yellowish red 
with lilac inner edge. Postmedian line double, violet, the outer of them thin, commencing nearer the apex than 
in tumida, anteriorly brilliant vellow-red. Outer margin yellow-red, cell spots small. Hindwings vermilion-red, 
paler at inner margin. The Nicobar Is. 
C. triguttata Warr. Forewings lilac-grey, posterior to antemedian line somewhat brownish at inner iriguttata. 
margin. Markings dark green. On costa near base a triangular spot. From % of costa a guttiform mark from 
which a straight oblique line proceeds, that is often diffuse. A large spot before apex, before which the dark 
postmedian line proceeds vertically to inner margin. Posteriorly on costa a small white streak. Hindwings 
dark vermilion-red. New Guinea. Larger than the subsequent species. 
C. costiplaga Swh. (41 d). Forewings grey-brown and reddish brown with lilac sheen. Antemedian line costiplaga. 
fine, dark, from 14 °f costa to centre of inner margin. Distallv of it a black-brown spot on costa with a dark 
shade below. A black dot at disco-cellular. Before the apex a large kettle-shaped spot, from the centre of 
base of which a narrow line proceeds to anal angle. Hindwings of 4 dark orange, of $ dark red. 28—32 mm. 
India, Andamans and Sunda Is. - defuscata E. Prout has a dark outer olive-brown shade to antemedian line, defuscata. 
The main difference, however, is the postmedian line, that is almost parallel to the inner line. Ceram, 
commixta Warr. (41 e). Forewings lilac-grey, dusted with olive-green. The striae bold, dark olive-green, the commixta. 
inner line somewhat curved outwards towards inner margin; the outer line is straight and oblique. In cell 2 
fine green dots, fairly close together. Posterior to postmedian line, a large diffuse olive-green spot somewhat 
pale violet below. Hindwings of $ vermilion-red and orange, olive-brown at inner margin. New Guinea, 
tarika Swh. Forewings lilac-grey and red-brown, paler at margin. Inner line dark brown, diffuse outwardly, tarika. 
impressed in centre. A cell spot and a lunule at disco-cellular. The outer line dark, oblique to anal angle. 
*) This grotesque wing contour is rare in Lepidoptera, but it is also found among the Chrysauginae of the Micro 
Genus Zanclodes (in falculalis Rag.) in America and in a pronounced degree.
