9 $ and 4 9 . — Antennae of the male moderately pectinated about three- 

 quarters their length; tip filiform. Body and wings whitish-ash, moderately 

 dusted with brown scales; paler, however, than in C. pampinaria G. Head 

 light, a broad, transverse, black band on the anterior edge of the front, and 

 a narrower one between the antennae. A distinct, light-brown band on the 

 prothorax, and some concolorous scales on the scutcllum. Both wings 

 longer, more produced toward the apex than in C. pampinaria, the outer 

 edge of the fore wings being more oblique. End of the abdomen just even 

 with the anal angle of the hind wings. Fore wings with the basal line 

 much less curved than in C. pampinaria, and ending farther from the base 

 of the wing; a double tooth on t lie costa, the upper being a broad, costal, 

 black spot, while below is a well-marked tooth ; another tooth on the median 

 vein; the line is broadly shaded internally with pale chocolate-brown ; the 

 middle line usually indistinct, except on the costa; it is sinuate, subparallel 

 with the outer line; it curves around outside the narrow, long, diseal ring 

 (sometimes appearing to pass through the outer side of the ring); it varies 

 in its distance from the outer line, usually joining it on the submedian vein, 

 and leaving a more or less well-marked v-shaped area on the inner edge 

 of the wing; outer (third) line black, distinct, very sinuous; between the
