One ? from Yokohama, June 1800. 



Keferred to Ectropis provisional!}' : the palpi are porrect and acutely rostri- 

 form, rough-haired above and beneath. In the forewings veins 10 and 11 are

 triangular black blotch before apex, connected by a curved streak with a concise 

 black line along margin from apex to vein 4, which reappears, equally concise, at 

 anal angle; fringe concolorous at apex and between veins 2 and 4, elsewhere black.

One ?, one <S, Khasia Hills June 1899. 



Closely related to C. strignta Warr., also from the Khasias ; in that species, 

 however, the hindmarginal markings are at once broader and more diffuse, showing 

 traces of a waved sniimarginal line ; the snbapical costal spot consists of two
