HY A. J. TURNEK. 611 



A small uaturHl genus, which lies near the borderland of the 

 first two groups. There is oal\' a moderate costal expansion at 

 base of forewings: and, while the ^ frenulum is strongly de- 

 velojjed, the weak tuft of scales representing it in 9 is not 

 always discernible. The peculiar form of the hindsvings and ^ 

 palpi are good distinguishing features. 'J'he l)ending of veins 12 

 and 1 1 descril)ed by Warren is strongly marked in C. meffahptera, 

 less so in C. urthodesma, but I ilo not consider it an important 

 character.

(J2- 40-47 uini. Head green; fillet broadly white; face 

 reddish-brown, lower third brown-whitish, the darker colour 

 forming a median tooth. Palpi in ^ 1|, terminal joint minute; 

 in Q 3, terminal joint |; reddish-brown, beneath white. 

 Antennie white, apices ochreous-whitish, pectinations tinged 

 with green. Thorax and abdomen green, tuft, sides, and under- 

 surfaee whitish. Legs vvhitisli; anterior pair, except coxte and 

 middle tibite, and first joints of tarsi green on uj^per surface in 

 (J, brownish in Q. Forewings triangular, costa straight, strongly 

 arched towards apex, apex acute, slightly produced, costa 

 slightly bowed, oblique, very slightly wavy; bright green; a 

 snow-white streak along costa nearly from base, which is edged 

 with dark purple near apex; lines pale green, slender, converging 

 not dentate; antemedia)i from I dorsum, not reaching costa; 

 postmedian fx-om or from before f dorsum to lieneath costa at 

 -|, nearly straight; a ferruginous-fuscous discal dot on end of 

 cell; cilia white with a median purple line. Hind wings as fore- 

 wings but witli antemedian, line obsolete, and discal dot rather 

 larger. Underside whitish-green, forewings rather darker.
