region; a deep, large scallop, with a projection, at the bottom of the sinus in 

 the discal space ; another larger sinus l>< low the median vein. These scallops 

 are filled in by a broad white band, the outer edge of which is either straighl 

 or a little sinuous. Beyond this while line, the margin oi the wing is dark, 

 often with a faint, submarginal, while, wavy line, the scallops of which are 

 Idled by obscure, dark patches. Fringe short, whitish, checkered with brown. 

 Hind wings whitish-gray, sprinkled on the outer half wit h dark specks, some- 

 times with a dark, curved, sinuous shade just beyond the middle of the wing, 

 Beneath, both wings are pale-ochreons, including the veins, and dusted with 

 black scales. The medial shade and discal spot are faintly reproduced: the 

 edge of the wing is clear, with a broad, diifuse, submarginal shade; the outer 

 edge of the mesial band is black and linear on the costa. Hind wings dusted 

 more than the anterior pair, with a deeply-scalloped black line, with a whitish 

 shade beyond. Legs ochreous-gray.

This fine moth may be recognized by the nearly white ground-color of 

 the wings, with the broad, mesial, blackish, mottled band, darker on the 

 edges, bordered on each side with a broad white band, and inclosing a large, 

 oblong, oval, white, discal spot. Il differs so much from C. angmtioraria that 

 it would scarcely be referred to the same genus. 



It does not vary much, except in the presence or absence of the outer 

 sinuous shade of the hind wings, and the degree in which the wings are 

 speckled with dark scales. The Floridan example, though in bad condition, 

 does not differ from northern ones, except that the margin of the wing is 

 clearer and the adjoining white band wider. This is cpnte a different species 

 from C. latiorata Walk., from East Florida, the type of which I saw in the 

 British Museum.
