and sub-basal band of the under surface. Except a basal, longitudinal, 

 whitish streak, bordered finely by dark scales, the anterior wings show 

 no distinct markings of any kind. Posterior Avings fulvous, with a red- 

 dish tinge, which latter obtains principally at the apices and along ter- 

 minal margin, and with distinct, black, interrupted fascine. A conti- 

 nued, angulated, broad, black sub-basal band, not attaining costa. 

 Beyond, a wide, sub-luniform, black discal spot. A sub-terminal, broken, 

 macular, black band. 



Under surface fulvous, with a reddish tinge on both pair. Primaries 

 with a broad, sub-basal, transverse band, a large black discal spot, and 

 an obsolete, sub-terminal series of black dots. On the secondaries the 

 markings of the upper surface are exactly re-produced. 



Caputal and thoracic squammation, unicolorous with primaries ; former 

 with a faint reddish tinge. x\bdomen, paler, obsoletely marked with 

 blackish on the segments above. Legs, finely scaled, with a faint grey- 

 ish shade on the tarsi; inwardly the tibiae and femora are clothed with 

 reddish fulvous squammation. Exp. 9 , 1.25 inch. Length of body, 

 U.45 inch.

Palpi rather stout, moderately exceeding the " front," depressed; 

 antennae moderate, shorter than in C. lirros. Anterior wings straight 

 along internal margin ; costal margin arcuate, depressed at apex, which 

 latter is determinate, the external margin sloping away from it inwardly, 

 thence outwardly rounded to internal angle. LTpper surface of prima- 

 ries rich, intense brown, with whitish, unequal maculations; one of 

 these latter at extreme base, one on the disc, beneath this last is a third, 

 ithe largest and most prominent. A fourth is placed subcostally before 

 the terminal space. These spots are variable, and hardly afford a spe- 

 cific character, except in a general sense. The terminal space is paler 

 than the rest of the wing, and neatly defined. Posterior wings bright 

 fulvous, resembling closely those of C. heros, m., shaded with reddish 

 and fasciated with black. A broad angulated basal band, beyond which, 

 a broad black discal spot; a sub-terminal interrupted macular band. 



Under surface of anterior wings dusky, evenly covered with reddish 

 scales ; a broad, black, transverse, sub-basal band, bordered with a pale 

 shade; a reduced black discal spot; sub-terminally an obsolete series 

 of blackish points. Lender surface of secondaries exactly re-producing 

 the markings of the upper surfece.
