rounded by the t. p. line and excavated posteriorly; the t. p. line is 

 acutely dentate, the two prominent teeth much larger and very acute,, 

 the dark spots in the terminal interspaces are more reduced ; the yel- 

 low of the posterior wings is paler and the median band wider, less con- 

 stricted on the disc and terminating obtusely before internal margin ; 

 the general coloration of anterior wings is much the same as in C. ne- 

 oqama. From C. piatrix Grote, C. palstofjama Guenee, and G. jjIui- 

 Janga Grote, its next nearest allies, the present species is sufficiently 

 distinct as to render detailed comparisons unnecessary.
