3b. Median cleft of lamella antevaginalis more shallow, less than 



length of lobes (fig. 94) C. simulator, new species

length of anterior pair (fig. 76) . Posterior margin of lamella antevaginalis 



either shallowly bilobed or with a single median lobe. 



3a. Lamella antevaginalis shallowly bilobed (fig. 93). Male with juxta 

 deeply forked (fig. 60) C. fernaldana 



3b. Lamella antevaginalis not bilobed, instead with a single median 

 lobe (fig. 92). Juxta shallowly bilobed, not deeply forked

Adult (figs. 3-4). — Wing expanse: cf, 12-15 mm.; 9, 13-15mm. 



Head: Grayish white. Antennae uniformly light gray. Scale tuft 

 of second palpal segment in male strongly projected, acute; lateral and 

 ventral surfaces fuscous, dorsal and inner surfaces of palpus lighter in 

 color, pale gray; second segment in female tending to be darker than 

 that of C. fernaldana, usually with dorsolateral scales paler than ven- 

 tral ones; apex of third segment whitish in both sexes. 



Thorax: Light gray with occasional suffusion of dark gray; venter 

 of thorax grayish white. Pro- and mesothoracic legs fuscous; meta- 

 thoracic leg grayish white; with slight suffusion of fuscovis; apices of 

 tibial and tarsal segments whitish. Pattern of forewings variable, 

 similar to C. fernaldana, grayish and usually heavily marked with 

 fuscous; darkest concentration along middle of costa and at apex of 

 cell; discal spot generally darker than in following species; dark, 

 transverse band at wing base usually distinct in fresh specimens, 

 tending to be interrupted or obliterated in flown specimens; usually 

 with a faint and narrow, serrate band of light fuscous bordering outer 

 margin. Hindwmgs uniformly gray. 



Abdomen: Light brown above, paler, more whitish beneath; 

 usually with a lateral fuscous streak along basal half of abdomen. 



Male genitalia (fig. 59). — Uncus reduced, indistinct, with a dense 

 row of elongate setae arising medially along junction with tegumen. 

 Apex of tegumen concave; lateral angles rather pronounced. Arms of
