Pale yellowish, lobes of thoracic notum brownish. Wings hyaline, a faint 

 cloud over stigma reaching somewhat behind, and another cloud over the 

 areola postica reaching inward; a faint mark at end of anal vein. Veins 

 mostly very pale, the radial sector and the median veins before they meet are 

 heavily dark, forming a very distinct V-mark; the branches of median vein 

 more or less dark. The stigma is very long, as long as in C. aurantiacus, the 

 areola postica short and much lower than in C. aurantiacus, the end of the 

 areola postica is opposite that of the stigma, so that the median vein forks 

 far out, and its branches are verj^ short and close together; the radial sector 

 forks scarcely before end of the stigma.
