Resembles C. quinaria Grote, (of which species I regard C. clioroina 

 Reakirt, as a synonym) but is sufficiently distinguished by its larger 

 size, the less oblique external margin of the primaries and their very 

 different coloration, as well as the ornamentation of the secondaries 

 which curiously resemble those of C. heros, m., a species otherwise 

 quite distinct.
