C. papuensis Warr. Forewings didl red-brown with bronze gloss. The lines chocolate-brown, oblique, -papuensis. 
parallel, enclosing the black cell spot, below which a diffuse dark band extends from the end of antemedian 
line to lower axis of cell. Basal area and also the space between the outer and submarginal lines are darker. 
A white dot at anal angle. Hindwings dark red, olive-brown at inner margin. 34—36 mm. New Guinea.

of costa red. Antemedian line oblique, turned somewhat outwards at lower wall of cell, postmedian line is 
twice excurved, incurved behind the cell and on submedian fold. Submarginal line undulate. In $ a diffuse 
dark band extends from inner margin along antemedian line to the tip of the outer line. Cell spot black. 
In $ there is further a dark shade before the inner and behind the outer lines. Hindwings white at base, inner 
margin olive-grey, the remainder orange-red. Assam. 
C. cervina Warr. Forewings grey-brown, fasciae very indistinct, darker grey, antemedian excurved in cervina.

apex rather pointed. Hindwings dull reddish, inner margin grey. One $ from Burma. 
C. minima Warr. Forewings red-brown, densely covered with lilac-red scales that obscure the mark- minima. 
ings. Both lines dark, oblique, parallel. Minute black cell spot. Submarginal line dark, diffuse. Hindwings 
orange, inner margin grey, whitish at base. Penang. 
C. sabulosa Warr. Forewings red-brown, lines very indistinct, lilac-brown. Inner line rather oblique sabulosa. 
and somewhat undulate, outer line incurved behind the cell and on submarginal fold. Submarginal line con¬ 
sists of lunules. Cell spot dark. Hindwings orange-red, olive-grey at inner margin. Sikkim and Assam. 
C. curtisi Warr. Smaller than sabulosa and darker, lilac suffusion heavier. Inner line oblique, straight, curtisi. 
not undulate. Hindwings redder. Malacca. 
C. verticata Warr. Forewings grey-brown, dusted with olive-brown. The lines olive-brown, bold verticata. 
and vertical, the inner one faintly incurved with a whitish line anteriorly, the outer one diffuse olive-brown; 
the outer line is also straight, slightly diverging, with a white line anteriorly and an olive brown line posteriorly. 
Submarginal line undulate, cell spot black. Hindwings dark olive-brown. One $ from Malacca. 
C. consimilis Warr. Forewings violet-grey and red-brown. Fasciae olive brown, oblique, parallel; consimilis. 
postmedian line slightly excurved at vein 6. Before the inner line at inner margin and behind the postmedian 
line to the submarginal line, olive-brown. Margin paler. Cell spot small and black. Hindwings orange-red, 
somewhat grey at inner margin. 
? C. nisulus Bryk (42 e). Forewings reddish brown, darkest behind the cell; lilac-grey on costa and nisulus. 
at apex. Median line as an oblique black streak from centre of costa, then obsolete, below vein 2 vertically 
to 3 / 5 of inner margin. Reniform stigma with narrow pale surround, far extended anteriorly. Above it a short 
black streak, then pale yellow to vein 6, angulated there and punctiform to median line at vein 2. Close 
behind the yellow line there is a parallel black line and at vein 5 a metallic blue line to margin. A row of 
blue-black submarginal spots. Hindwings white, margin fiery 3 T ellow. $ 38 mm. Cook town. 
25. Genus: Paracarea B.-Bak. 
Differing from Carea by the long third segment of palpi, that expands at end. Antennae of $ ciliate. 
On hindwings 3 + 4 on a stalk, otherwise normal. Tibiae with long hairs. Only 1 species. 
P. rubiginea B.-Bak. A brilliant chestnut-brown with slight silvery gloss except before postmedian rubiginea. 
line. Base somewhat white at inner margin. Inner line indistinct, red-brown from % of costa to centre of 
inner margin. Black dots at end of cell and at disco-cellular. Outer line also indistinct, from % of costa ex¬ 
curved, from vein 5—3 vertical, somewhat incurved on submedian fold, thence somewhat outwards to inner 
margin. A faint dark submarginal line, incurved below costa. Hindwings white, widely rose at margin to 
vein 2. 36 mm. One $ from New Guinea. 
26. Genus: Vizaga Swh. 
Palpi similar to those of Paracarea, but not expanding at tip. On hindwings vein 5 arises somewhat 
further anteriorly, otherwise everything as in Paracarea. On forewings of $ 2 cavities at end of cell. The two 
forms classified here are sleeker than related species and are remarkable by their blue hindwings. Type: 
cyanea Snell. 
V. cyanea Snell. (42 e). Forewings olive-yellow to the sharply outlined vertical white band, the marg- cyanea. 
inal area dark blue with unequal white radial lines. Hindwings brilliant blue. At disco-cellular nervure a 
white streak is indicated. 28—35 mm. Philippines. 
V. mirabilis B.-Bak. (42 e) resembles cyanea closely on upperside. It is however also olive-yellow mirabilis. 
beyond the white band, there are only a few blue scales above the inner margin. The white radial lines are 
absent. On underside, however, cyanea has an outer transverse band on both wings, whilst mirabilis has 
narrower radial bands. 28—35 mm. New Guinea.
