C. obsolescens Mr. (42 a). Forewings brilliant yellow-red with silky sheen. Inner line straight, very obsolescent. 
oblique. Outer line somewhat less oblique, excurved below costa and afc vein 3 and incurved slightly inwards 
behind the cell. An undulate submarginal line of dark spots. Hindwings white, more or less red at margin. 
35 mm. India, Ceylon. 
C. caroli E. Prout. Antennae of with very short fascicles. Forewings red-brown with heavy lilac- caroli. 
brown suffusion, except in the area around the outer line. All markings very indistinct. Inner line from ]■> 
of costa to 2 / 5 of inner margin, slightly excurved, occasionally undulate. A diffuse black streak at discocellular. 
Outer line from % of costa to inner margin near anal angle, excurved at veins 7 and 4, incurved at vein 5 with 
a parallel blackish submarginal shade. Hindwings pale red-brown, paler at base and at inner margin. 35—42 mm. 
Ceram. 
C. felix E. Prout. (42 a). Antennae of with very long fascicles, this is the main difference from felix. 
caroli. Forewings olive-brown and lilac-grey with silvery grey scales at outer margin and especially at apex. 
Markings more distinct than in caroli, the lines dark olive-brown. Inner line from y 3 of costa to 2 / 5 of inner 
margin, straight or slightly impressed. A black cell spot. Outer line like in caroli, also incurved on sub¬ 
median fold. Submarginal line as in caroli. Hindwings paler. The $ is more heavily lilac. Outer line is more 
boldly red-brown and diffuse, inclined to be double from vein 8. Hindwings darker at margin. carneipennis $ cameipen- 
E. Prout is halfway between felix <$ and $ so far as concerns the shade of colour. Hindwings yellowish on 
upperside. 42—46 mm. Both forms from Ceram. — pallidior E. Prout differs by the grey-brown colour of $ pallidior. 
and $ as well as by the more diffuse fasciae. 38—42 mm. Buru. 
C. josephi E. Prout. Antennae of <$ with short fascicles. Forewings ochreous brown, suffused with josephi. 
lilac-red, except in centre. Not so glossy as the two preceding species. Markings diffuse and indistinct. Inner 
line very oblique from y 3 of costa to % of inner margin. A dark streak at disco-cellular, not a dot. Outer 
line oblique or excurved from % of costa to vein 4, then impressed to inner margin close to anal angle. Sub¬ 
marginal shade as in the 2 preceding species. Somewhat darker at apex. Hindwings of $ pale orange-red, 
the pale patches as in caroli, in $ hindwings incline to be still paler. 40—42 mm. Ceram. 
C. adoxa E. Prout (42 a). Forewings dark lilac-red, a brownish red band posterior to outer line, adoxa. 
Cell spot black, transverse lines indistinct and oblique. Inner line straight from y 3 of costa to centre of inner 
margin. Outer line faintly excurved from % of costa to % of inner margin, not incurved behind the cell as in 
obsolescens (42 a). Hindwings like in obsolescens, somewhat wider and more intensively dark at margin. In $ 
the lines of forewing are somewhat more distinct and widely separated than in <$. 36—38 mm. Sumatra. 
C. phaedropa E. Prout (42 a) is said to resemble obsolescens like the preceding species, nitida Hmps. phaedropa. 
(41 h) is also similar. Forewings typically olive-brown, but also lilac-brown, transverse lines dusted with white; 
in outer part of central area, around the submarginal line and anterior to black cell spot, the wing is white. Inner 
line oblique from y 3 of costa, somewhat undulate to centre of inner margin with dark outer edge. Outer line 
from 4 / 7 of costa to 4 / 5 of inner margin, twice excurved as in nitida. The boldly dentate submarginal line is 
more distinct than in nitida. Hindwings cherry red, yellowish white at base and at inner margin. Forewings of 
$ inclined to ochreous brown without white dusting. 42—48 mm. Buru. 
C. semipallida E. Prout. Forewings pale brownish red, with black cell spot and olive-brown transverse semipallida. 
lines, similar to felix (42 a). Inner line somewhat more oblique from y 3 of costa to centre of inner margin. 
Outer line from behind % of costa to 4 / 5 of inner margin, somewhat excurved below costa and at vein 5 
and angulated there, incurved on submedian fold and behind the cell. Submargina-l line dark, spotted, some¬ 
what excised at veins 7 and 4, impressed above vein 5 and obsolescent towards inner margin. Hindwings 
yellowish white, brownish at inner margin. 42—45 mm. Sumatra. 
C. quieta E. Prout (42 b). Forewings dark grey with greenish sheen. The shape of the transverse lines quieta. 
is like that of metaphaea (42 b), fine and olive-green. Inner line from % of costa to 2 / 5 of inner margin, very 
faintly undulate, which however is not discernible in the illustration. Outer line steeper than in semipallida, 
from 3 / 5 of costa to 4 / 5 of inner margin, more boldly undulate, widely excurved above and below the centre, 
impressed on submedian fold. Submarginal line shaped as in semipallida, but more distinct. Hindwings dark 
brown, inclined to reddish at base. 40—44 mm. Sumatra. 
C. minahassae Roepke. Forewings pale lilac-red, fasciae very indistinct, like those of a large phaedropa minahassae. 
(42 a). Orbicular and reniform stigmata indicated by light grey scales. Hindwings claret-red, grey at base, 
c? 34—36 mm. Celebes. 
C. pallida Hmps. (42 b). Pale red-brown, characterised by its dense dark dusting, edge of costa white, pallida. 
Inner line from 2 / 5 of costa to 2 / 5 of inner margin, slightly excurved below costa, incurved on submedian fold; 
in the illustration this is reversed. Outer line as in quieta (42 b), only the undulations are less pronounced. No 
trace of a submarginal line. The most distinct marking is the black cell spot. Hindwings pale reddish, brown 
at inner margin. 36 mm. One from Burma. 
C. metaphaea Hmps. (42 b). Forewings red-brown and grey-brownish. Inner line indistinct, oblique, metaphaea. 
somewhat undulate. Outer and submarginal lines boldly undulate, similar to quieta, both indistinct. Hind-
